When you bring home a cat, check with the fosterer/adoption centre if the cat has already been 1) Dewormed 2) Defleaed 3) Vaccinated 4) Neutered/Spayed
Based on the age of the cat you will have to do all of the above if not done already
1) Deworming - Kittens need to be dewormed every 2 weeks from 3 weeks of age until 8 weeks of age, then monthly to 6 months of age. Adult cats (greater than 6 months of age) need deworming every 1-3 months. Please read the "Deworming" section of this forum for more details.
2) Defleaing - Use flea powder/spray for kittens younger than 8 weeks(like Himalaya's Erina powder or Medfly's Parashield spray), a spot-on treatment(like Fiprofort) will work for kittens and cats greater than 8 weeks of age - the amount of dosage depends on cat's weight, make sure to check the label.
3) Vaccinations - There are three recommended vaccines for your cat. 1) Rabies 2) FVCRP and 3)FELV. Please read the "Vaccinations" section of this forum for more details.
4) Neutering/Spaying - Cats attain puberty at six to eight months and it is recommended that they are neutered before that. Males lose their aggression if neutered timely and females would not go in heat. A healthy male kitten can be neutered at 4-5 months of age, and female kitten can be spayed after 6th month.
