Kitten Kindergarten - new classes formed upon request
In this two-session course, kittens will become acclimated to traveling in carriers and cars, visiting a veterinary clinic, and being handled by new people. Guardians will be educated about practical in-home concerns, such as litter box use, scratching, grooming, giving medicine, and diet and feeding. Of course, the most fun part of the course will be kitten playtime!
Kitten Kindergarten is designed for kittens 8 to 16 weeks of age. Enrollment limited to six kittens. Classes meet 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Caring Hands Animal Hospital in Urbana. Fee: $25.

Pet First Aid - offered through the Pet U series
