After picking out a kitten, immediately take it to a veterinarian to be tested and given a full checkup. In many cases, when you are purchasing from a breeder or pet store, there is a written health guarantee that gives you the option of returning the kitten if any diseases or health defects are found during the initial veterinary exam.
