We Love Kittens

Kittens are the Best

​If you are watching TV, or sitting at your computer and you don’t have a kitten on your lap you are missing out on one of life’s simple pleasures.

If you have never been cracked up laughing as you watch your kitten explore their new home then now is the time.  It is pure silly happiness and can brighten the dullest day.

If you haven’t had the satisfaction of watching your kitten groom every crease and orifice you won’t yet understand the amazing contortions that can be achieved by an ordinary cat in the process of personal care.
All the behaviours are typical of a comfortable kitten who feels safe enough to explore and secure enough to relax.  
The benefits of cohabitating with a happy cat are many for both individuals and families, but of course companionship comes with responsibilities, which include making your home kitten safe, nutrition and health care.

The team at Ripponlea Veterinary Hospital understand that when a kitten visits us they also need to feel comfortable, safe and secure.  We do our very  best to create a calm and soothing atmosphere and use Feliway throughout the hospital to gently and naturally reduce anxiety. Our team is proficient in gentle handling techniques, and will work to build trust with you and your kitten.

​You can do your part by ensuring that the kitten knows that their carry basket is a happy, comfortable space.  This is best achieved by leaving open in the living area and encouraging the kitten to play in and around it. You might even find you come home from work and the kitten is snuggled up inside.

Play is the highest
