Expert veterinary care designed specifically for your growing kitten — building a foundation for nine healthy lives through personalized wellness plans.
Give your new kitten family member the healthiest possible start. Join our kitten wellness program in Sacramento and invest a lifetime of purr-fect health.
The Kitten Wellness Program at Broadway Veterinary Hospital is a comprehensive healthcare approach designed specifically for kittens from 6 weeks to 16 months of age. This critical developmental period requires specialized attention to establish lifelong health and wellbeing. Our program combines essential preventive care, developmental monitoring, behavior guidance, and nutritional counseling tailored to your kitten’s unique needs.
Young kittens are vulnerable to various infectious diseases, parasites, and developmental issues that can affect their long-term health. Our structured wellness program addresses these concerns through:
Scheduled visits
Appropriate vaccinations
Parasite prevention
Growth monitoring
Early intervention for any emerging health or behavior issues
This proactive approach helps ensure your kitten develops into a healthy adult cat while minimizing the risk of preventable illnesses.
Broadway Veterinary Hospital’s Kitten Wellness Program includes comprehensive physical examinations at key developmental milestones to monitor growth patterns, detect early signs of congenital conditions, and address emerging health concerns. These exams establish the baseline for your kitten’s medical history and help us create personalized healthcare recommendations that support your pet’s long-term wellbeing.
Our program features a strategic vaccination schedule tailored to your kitten’s lifestyle and risk factors. We administer core vaccines including FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia) and rabies, along with lifestyle-appropriate vaccines like feline leukemia for outdoor or social kittens. Each vaccine is carefully timed for maximum effectiveness during your kitten’s development. Our veterinary team will discuss which vaccinations are most appropriate based on your kitten’s age, environment, and potential exposure to other cats.
Parasite prevention is crucial for growing kittens, who are particularly vulnerable to intestinal parasites, heartworms, fleas, and ticks. Our program includes:
Comprehensive screening
Preventative medications
Education about environmental management to keep your kitten parasite-free
We understand that parasites can significantly impact your kitten’s health and development, which is why our comprehensive prevention approach includes regular testing and tailored treatment protocols.
We also provide essential surgical services including spaying or neutering at the optimal age for feline development. These procedures not only help control the pet population but also provide significant health benefits, reducing the risk of certain cancers and behavioral issues as your kitten matures into an adult cat.
Nutritional counseling helps establish healthy eating patterns from the start, with guidance on food selection, feeding schedules, and portion control to prevent obesity and promote optimal growth. Our team will help you understand how to feed your kitten properly, ensuring they receive the right balance of nutrients for their developing body. We also offer behavior resources to address common kitten challenges like litter box training, scratching, and socialization, setting the foundation for a well-adjusted adult cat. Early socialization and positive behavioral training during the first year can help prevent future problems and strengthen the bond between you and your feline family member.

Our kitten wellness program offers flexibility within a structured framework, allowing us to address the specific needs of different breeds and individual kittens.

Most importantly, our compassionate approach recognizes that bringing home a new kitten is both exciting and occasionally challenging. We provide support not just for your kitten’s health but for your entire family as you navigate their integration into your home. Our goal is to make this transition period smoother while establishing healthcare habits that will benefit your cat throughout life. We’re committed to being your partner in pet care, offering guidance and veterinary care that extends well beyond your kitten’s early months, helping ensure many years of companionship with your feline friend.
Our wellness plans are designed to make comprehensive kitten care accessible for every family, bundling essential services into convenient packages that help manage the costs of preventive care during your kitten’s crucial first year.
During the initial visit, our veterinarian will perform a thorough physical examination, discuss vaccination schedules, and screen for parasites. We’ll review your kitten’s nutritional needs, behavior, and lifestyle factors to create a personalized wellness plan. This first visit establishes the baseline for your kitten’s health records and allows us to address any immediate concerns you may have about caring for your new kitten.
Kittens typically begin vaccinations around 6-8 weeks of age, with boosters given every 3-4 weeks until approximately 16 weeks old. Core vaccines protect against feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia, and rabies. Lifestyle vaccines like feline leukemia may be recommended based on your kitten’s risk factors. Our veterinary team will customize a vaccination schedule that provides optimal protection during this vulnerable developmental period.
Most kittens require visits every 3-4 weeks for vaccinations and developmental monitoring until about 4 months of age. After completing initial vaccine series, we typically recommend visits at 6 months for spay/neuter surgery and again at one year. These scheduled exams allow us to monitor growth, address behavior concerns, and ensure your kitten receives appropriate preventive care throughout their critical development phase.
Kittens are susceptible to intestinal parasites like roundworms and hookworms, as well as fleas, ticks, and heartworms. Our parasite prevention protocol includes regular screening, deworming medication, and monthly preventative treatments. We’ll educate you about environmental management and recognize signs of parasite infestation. Consistent prevention protects your kitten’s health and prevents transmission to other pets or family members in your home.
Spaying or neutering your kitten provides significant health benefits beyond population control. These procedures reduce risk of reproductive cancers, eliminate risk of uterine infections, and can decrease certain behavior problems. We perform these surgeries at the optimal age for feline development, typically around 5-6 months. The procedure supports your cat’s long-term wellbeing and can contribute to a longer, healthier life with fewer medical complications.
Don’t wait any longer to forge a lifelong relationship with your friendly veterinarian.
