Parent-cat screening
I'm happy when families ask about the kitten's parents and family history. Parent screening or specific genetic-test claims should always be supported by the actual records rather than taken for granted.
Kitten health & veterinary care
Russian Blue Kitten Health and Veterinary Care
As a Russian Blue breeder, I care deeply about health and temperament. I want every prospective family to understand what care is planned, what records to review, and why the individual kitten's veterinarian should always guide medical decisions.
Please note: These pages describe the breeder-reported care approach. Always ask for the individual kitten’s completed veterinary records; health questions, vaccine timing, and future treatment should be discussed with a licensed veterinarian.
Responsible planning
Thoughtful questions protect your new companion.
Kitten veterinary examinations
Before bringing a kitten home, ask for the dates and documentation of completed veterinary care. I believe a family should understand both what has been done and what follow-up their own veterinarian may recommend.
Records and follow-up
Ask about the vaccination and deworming history, rabies paperwork, spay/neuter records, and any microchip or test information applicable to the kitten. Keep the documents together for the first veterinary visit.
Everyday preventive care
Preparing kittens for a healthy homecoming.
My stated kitten-care plan includes early core vaccinations against feline distemper and respiratory infections, with appointments around 6, 9, and 11 weeks, along with deworming. Rabies vaccination is arranged according to the veterinarian's guidance and applicable requirements. The exact completed dates should be checked against each kitten's veterinary records.
All kittens placed as pets are intended to be spayed or neutered before leaving my care. My kittens generally move to permanent homes at 12 to 14 weeks of age or later, no earlier than a week after their last kitten vaccination and once they are ready. Please confirm the individual kitten's procedures and records before collection.

Care and well-beingThe first appointment
Help your veterinarian get the full picture.
Bring any records provided, note the kitten’s food and routine, and share questions about behavior, appetite, litter habits, introductions, and home environment. Schedule timing and recommendations should come from the clinic caring for the kitten.
- Keep copies of records in one accessible place.
- Ask what changes merit a call to the clinic.
- Discuss a gradual transition to any new food or routine.
Health FAQ
Clear answers without assumptions.
I want you to feel comfortable asking about your kitten’s records. Health guarantees or other legal commitments belong in the written adoption agreement, not in an informal promise.
Ask to review the kitten's dated vaccine and deworming records, any rabies documentation, spay/neuter details, and any microchip or test paperwork relevant to that kitten. Your veterinarian can help explain what comes next.
No. Any guarantee, agreement, or adoption policy must be owner-approved, current, and stated in the applicable written documentation.
Ask your veterinary clinic for guidance and consider arranging the appointment before homecoming so you have an established contact for questions.
Ask thoughtfully
Questions about a kitten’s care?
Start with the kitten who interests you, then ask what care records you can review before homecoming. For individual medical advice, always speak with a veterinarian.
