Kittens should have their first vet visit at around six to eight weeks old. During this appointment, the vet will perform a thorough physical examination, checking for any health concerns, and discuss a vaccination schedule to protect her from common feline diseases. It's also an opportunity to discuss diet, litter training, and any other concerns you might have. Preparing for these costs will ensure you can give your kitten the best start in life.
