Plan ongoing care
Bring your kitten’s health exam and vaccination records to your veterinarian. Discuss vaccinations, parasite prevention, nutrition, and routine examinations for your individual cat.
Know the breed’s health considerations
Persians can be affected by inherited conditions, including polycystic kidney disease. Ask about family health history and relevant screening documentation. A dollface appearance does not establish a kitten’s health status.
Notice changes early
Contact your veterinarian about changes in appetite, drinking, urination, energy, or breathing. Read our urinary-health and PKD guides for more information.
