What Comes With Your Purebred Kitten: Health, Safety, and Peace of Mind

Welcoming a new kitten into your family is a joyful, emotional experience. But it can also come with questions, especially if you’re hoping for a smooth, safe start.

That’s why every Purebred Kitties companion comes home already cared for, protected, and prepared. Before they curl up on your couch or chase their first toy in your living room, they’ve already received veterinary attention, early protection, and thoughtful handling to give you peace of mind.

Here’s exactly what’s included when your kitten joins your family.

1. Core Vaccinations: FVRCP (x2)

Your kitten arrives with two rounds of the FVRCP vaccine already completed. This protects against:

• Feline Herpesvirus — helps prevent upper respiratory infections
  

• Calicivirus — protects against ulcers, cold-like symptoms, and sneezing
  

• Panleukopenia — guards against a serious and highly contagious virus affecting kittens
  

A note on boosters:

Your vet will help you time the final FVRCP booster. We recommend waiting until your kitten has fully settled at home before visiting the vet for vaccines. The stress of moving can briefly affect their immune system, so give them a couple of weeks to get comfortable first.

2. Rabies Vaccine (When Age-Appropriate)

If your kitten was old enough at the time of departure, they’ve also received their first rabies vaccination. This is typically valid for one year.

Some families choose to schedule the booster dose alongside the final FVRCP shot. If you go this route, always wait until your kitten is calm, eating well, and fully adjusted to your home before heading to the clinic.

3. Deworming and Parasite Prevention

Even indoor kittens can pick up parasites, especially during their curious, teething, lick-everything phase.

Here’s what we’ve done—and what you should continue:

• Initial deworming is already completed before your kitten comes home
  

• A fecal test is recommended at your first vet visit
  

• Continue deworming every 3 months until they turn 1
  

• After that, your vet will help determine the right schedule
  

Why deworm so often?

During their first year, kittens are especially vulnerable. Regular care keeps them healthy while their immune systems are still growing.

Even if your kitten stays indoors, tiny pests can sneak in via shoes, visitors, or other pets.

4. Microchip Identification

For lifelong security, your kitten is already microchipped.

Here’s how to make sure it stays effective:

• Register your contact details with the microchip company as soon as possible
  

• Ask your vet to scan and confirm chip placement during your kitten’s first checkup
  

• Update your details anytime you move or change phone numbers
  

Having a microchip won’t help unless it’s registered and kept current, so this step is important.

5. Full Veterinary Health Certificate

Every kitten receives a complete vet check before they’re cleared for travel or adoption. This includes:

• Vital sign check
  

• Screening for visible illnesses or symptoms
  

• Listening for heart murmurs
  

• Monitoring appetite and digestion
  

• Ensuring healthy activity levels
  

If the vet has any concerns, we delay delivery until your kitten is 100% ready. Health always comes first.

6. Starter Kit Items You’ll Receive

Your kitten won’t arrive empty-pawed. We also include a few thoughtful essentials to help you start off on the right foot:

• A starter pack of the food they’ve been eating
  

• Printed vaccination records
  

• A pet passport (if needed for travel)
  

• Lifetime access to our support team, for any questions that come up
  

This small bundle is part of a much bigger promise—to make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
