              Rabies (for pets older than 12 weeks of age) booster due in one year

              FIV vaccine (not currently available)

Kittens 5-6 months of age:

Cats of all ages:

General Health Profile (blood testing) to evaluate your pet's internal health

To maximize your pet's health, we also recommend feeding a healthy diet, providing regular grooming including routine ear cleaning, toenail trims, and daily dental care.  We will be happy to discuss these procedures during your pet's visit.
