Kitten Kindergarten
$75 plus tax for orientation and 2 classes
Did you know that kittens have a very short, sensitive socialization period between 2 and 7 weeks? Despite this short period of time, we can still have a positive effect on their development through safe, positive experiences. Between 8 and 14 weeks it is very important to have your kitten experience different people, places, novel items and veterinary and husbandry care in a safe, controlled and positive manner.
