Oramor

Visitation Policy
Please note: Due to strict biosecurity measures endorsed by the guidelines of the respected providers listed below, we do not permit visitors or anyone outside Oramor to handle kittens prior to their first vaccination at 9.5 weeks of age for any reason.
This policy exists for the following evidence-based reasons:
-
Kittens have underdeveloped immune systems, making them especially vulnerable to infectious diseases in early life. (Small Door Veterinary) Small Door Veterinary
-
Kittens receive maternally-derived antibodies from their mother which help protect them from diseases early in life — however, these antibodies decline over the first weeks of life, leaving a window of vulnerability before vaccination takes effect.

-
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to introducing you to your kitten once they are safely vaccinated and protected.
