When you purchase a Ragdoll kitten from Raghill Ragdolls your kitten comes with a two year written health guarantee. Our kittens are vaccinated at 8 and 12 weeks of age at this time they also receive a well baby examination by a licensed veterinarian. We vaccinate our kittens against the following:
Feline panleukopenia (feline distemper) This is among the most widespread of all cat diseases, and is extremely contagious. Characterized by fever, loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhea, feline panleukopenia causes high death loss, particularly among kittens.
Feline viral rhinotracheitis (FVR) This is a highly contagious respiratory disease characterized by sneezing, appetite loss, fever, and eye inflammation. As the disease progresses, a discharge is noticeable from both nose and eye.
Feline calicivirus (FCV) This is another serious feline respiratory infection. Often occurring simultaneously with feline viral rhinotracheitis. Signs of infection are similar to FVR (fever, loss of appetite, nasal discharge), but calicivirus-infected cats may also have ulcers on the tongue.
Feline pneumontis, is caused by the organism Chlamydia psittaci. Signs of pneumontis are similar to those of FVR and FCV (sneezing, fever, loss of appetite, nasal discharge, inflamed eyes).
Feline Leukemia This is a viral disease which can take several forms. Some cats have transient infections with few ill effects. Others have persistent infections varying in severity, some of which may be fatal over time. Extensive scientific research has shown no relationship between feline leukemia and human leukemia.
Our Ragdoll kittens are de-wormed with Nemex-2 de-wormer, age appropriately.
If a kitten is flown on an airline and is over 16 weeks of age the kitten will be vaccinated against rabies. Rabies is one of the worlds most publicized and feared diseases and is almost always fatal. Rabies virus attacks the brain and central nervous system and is transmitted to humans chiefly through the bite of an infected animal. In 1981-1982, for the first time, more cats than dogs were reported to have rabies. This situation has led many authorities to require rabies vaccination for all cats.
