NUTRITION

• Dry food should be made available to your cat at all times of the day unless there is a weight problem.

• Use stainless steel or ceramic/glass whenever possible to avoid bacteria build-up that can occur with plastic.

• Your kitten no longer requires milk. In fact, milk can cause digestive problems. Have fresh water available for your cat all times. Change water every day.

SHOTS

• Your kitten has received first set of shots at 8 weeks and has been de-wormed at 11 weeks. Two more booster shots are required, roughly 3-4 weeks apart and annually thereafter. Consult your vet for more information.

• After their shots look for any adverse reaction, keep an eye on the cat for a day or two.

• Rabies shots should be given to your kitten after 5 months of age, as this is when it will be most effective, and NOT before 16 weeks.

• LEUKEMIA SHOTS - We advise that your kitten NOT receive this vaccine in combination with other vaccines as adverse effects can occur. We do not recommend that your cat be allowed to go outside, but if this is going to be the case you may have to consider getting your cat an additional and separate vaccine for Leukemia. If you decide to go ahead and have the cat vaccinated with Leukemia vaccine of any kind, you do so at your on risk.

NEUTERING SPAYING

• Males should be neutered between the ages of 8-10 months and NOT before as Burmese males will often not mature to a proper physical size if neutered too young. It has been shown that males that are neutered too young run a much greater risk of developing F.U.S. later in life. Females can be spayed between 7-9 months of age and preferably not when they are in heat.

HEATH CARE

• Insist to see your Veterinarian if you detect any changes in your cat. For example, signs of watering eyes and dripping nose with white or yellow discharge.
