Vet Checks & Vaccinations
Your kitten comes to you with their vet work well under way. Here is exactly what has been done, what is due when, and the one health job that people most often let slide — worming.
The Golden Rule
Parasites — not illness — are the single most common cause of diarrhoea in cats. All of it is treatable, but honestly, prevention is so much easier than cure.
What We Have Already Done
Vaccinations: your kitten has been vaccinated at 8 and 12 weeks of age. That means no more vaccinations are due until their first birthday, when they will move onto an adult schedule with your vet.
Worming: your kitten has been wormed every two weeks while with us, in line with kitten best practice.
We will provide you with their vaccine certificates at handover, which you can then give to your vet.
Worming — Please Keep It Up
By the time your kitten comes to you, they will need worming monthly. And please do not let "but my cat is indoors" talk you out of it. It does not matter that they are indoor cats — parasites can be carried in raw food or fresh water.
No, worming is not fun. But there are really good spot-on treatments now, if — like us — you simply cannot bear them hating you after forcing a tablet down their throat.
Trust us: a monthly habit beats a sick kitten every time.
Your Vet Visits
Beyond the first-year vaccine, we recommend a simple annual check-up. Bengals are generally robust, but a yearly once-over catches things early and keeps your relationship with a good vet warm for when you really need them. If your kitten is ever unwell, please contact us early — vets are wonderful, but we know what is normal for Bengals and can help you ask the right questions and avoid unnecessary (and expensive) tests.
Why This Matters
Between vaccinations and worming, you have covered the two things that most often go wrong in a kitten's first year. It is a small amount of admin for a whole lot of peace of mind.
