What health records come with a NorthCountry kitten?
Kittens from NorthCountry go home with full health records documenting their veterinary care, age-appropriate vaccinations already administered, and a transition guide to help with the move to your home.
Specifically, this typically includes a written record of the vaccinations already administered and the dates they were given, so your veterinarian can pick up the schedule seamlessly rather than starting over; any deworming or parasite prevention that's been done; and notes from veterinary wellness checks the kitten has had while in our care. The transition guide covers the practical, day-to-day details that make the first week or two smoother — the food and feeding schedule the kitten is used to, litter type and habits, and general tips for helping a kitten settle into a new environment with less stress.
We recommend bringing these records to your kitten's first veterinary visit in its new home, since your vet will want to continue any remaining vaccinations on schedule and establish a baseline exam for ongoing care. Exact vaccines and timing depend on the kitten's age at pickup, since kittens typically need a series of vaccinations spaced several weeks apart rather than a single visit.
We're also happy to discuss the specific health testing behind a kitten's parents — including cardiac screening and genetic testing — so you have a full picture before and after bringing your kitten home. Contact us with any questions, or see our available kittens.
