The Purr-fect Kitten is Definitely “Pawsible”

Summer is “kitten season.” That’s because most unspayed female cats start heat cycles in the late Winter, as the days get longer. With a feline 63-day gestation period , that means most kittens are born during the Spring and Summer.

If you are considering adding a kitten to your household, some thoughtful planning needs to be done prior to bringing home your new little friend. As a cat specialist, I am particularly interested in making sure that the kitten is not only healthy, but is socially, mentally and behaviorally sound and an excellent companion. With many cats now living well into their late teens and even to the early twenties, there is the potential for your new kitten to be part of your life for the next two decades.

Starting off on the right “paw,” gives the best chance for a great life-long relationship with your new friend.
