What a Cat Wellness Exam Includes

Every wellness visit starts with a thorough nose-to-tail physical exam — we check your cat’s eyes, ears, mouth and teeth, heart, joints, skin and coat, weight, and body condition. Because cats are experts at hiding illness, we also recommend routine bloodwork and diagnostic screening to spot changes before they become serious. From there, we’ll review vaccines, parasite prevention, dental health, nutrition, and anything you’ve noticed at home. Our goal is simple: help your cat stay healthy and comfortable at every stage, not just treat problems once they appear.

Vaccinations and Microchipping

Preventive care goes beyond the exam room. Two of the most important ways to protect your cat are staying current on vaccines and making sure they can find their way home if they ever get out. We handle both as part of routine wellness care.

Safer Vaccines

We follow AAFP and AVMA guidelines and use non-adjuvanted PUREVAX vaccines — including rabies, FVRCP, and feline leukemia — to protect your cat while minimizing risk.

Microchipping

A quick, rice-sized Petlink microchip gives your cat permanent identification, greatly improving the odds of a safe reunion if they ever slip outside or go missing.

Common Questions About Cat Wellness Exams

Staying ahead of your cat’s health raises plenty of questions. Here are answers cat owners often ask about wellness exams and preventive care at Cat’s Corner Veterinary Hospital. For anything specific to your cat, our team is always glad to help by phone or message.

How often should my cat have a wellness exam?

K

L

Most adult cats benefit from a wellness exam at least once a year, while kittens and senior cats often need more frequent visits as their needs change. Annual checkups let our team at Cat's Corner track your cat's health over time and catch subtle issues early, since cats are so good at masking illness.

Do indoor cats really need preventive care and vaccines?

K

L

Yes. Even strictly indoor cats can be exposed to parasites and disease — fleas, mosquitoes carrying heartworm, and viruses can all make their way inside. Rabies vaccination is also required by law in Connecticut. Routine wellness care keeps indoor cats protected and helps us detect age-related changes early.

What vaccines does Cat's Corner use for cats?

K

L

Cat's Corner uses non-adjuvanted PUREVAX vaccines and follows AAFP and AVMA guidelines. Core vaccines include rabies and FVRCP (distemper), with feline leukemia recommended based on your cat's lifestyle. We choose these vaccines to protect your cat effectively while reducing the risks linked to older adjuvanted formulas.

What should I bring to my cat's wellness visit?

K

Bring a fresh stool sample, a list of any medications or supplements your cat takes, and any questions or changes you've noticed at home. If your cat is new to Cat's Corner, complete your new client form beforehand so we can focus the visit on your cat's care.
