  • Vaccination Records: We provide copies of all vaccination records and deworming schedules.

Travel Comfort

  • Comfort Items: We include familiar items such as a blanket or toy that carry the scent of the cattery to reduce anxiety.
  • Hydration and Nutrition: Travel-friendly food and water supplies are provided to keep the kitten hydrated and fed throughout the journey.
