Happy Paws US guarantees kittens of purebred lineage, in good health, and fit to be lifelong companions. Each pre-adoption set of procedures includes full veterinary care, health examinations, and all required documentation. Our kitten health guarantee program supports adopters and ensures the welfare of each kitten, reflecting our rigorous breeding network and transparent adoption standards.
Our Health Guarantee Promise
Every kitten receives documented veterinary verification, health checks, microchipping, and preventive treatments before transfer. High-rated breeders in our network ensure health oversight from birth.
All healthy kittens for adoption undergo FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus), FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), and fecal exam. Test results are included in the adoption package, giving adopters complete knowledge of the kitten’s health.
Kittens are dewormed, receive flea and tick prevention, and are microchipped before delivery. Microchip numbers are recorded on health certificates and the registration is free. Veterinary standards and breeder accountability ensure this guarantee is evidence-backed.
What’s Included in Every Adoption Package
Happy Paws US provides a complete set of health and pedigree papers with every adoption package. The adopters will get to know all about the veterinary care, breeder approval, and the kitten's medical growth before the release. By keeping the same breeder certifications for all the adoptions, it is possible to have the same level of transparency everywhere.
USDA certified health certificate
USDA licensed veterinarian prepares and signs an official health certificate for each and every kitten. The health of the kitten is indicated by the certificate, its immunization status, and it is stated that the kitten is not a source of infection. The veterinarian's certificate guarantees that the kitten has been checked and hence is fit for shipment.
Veterinary passport
An extensive Veterinary passport is delivered that incorporates all the veterinary appointments completed prior to adoption. It includes information on vaccinations, deworming, preventive treatments, and tests carried out. The adopter will be able to continue the care already established by the previous veterinarian
Microchip documentation
The health certificate or medical passport comes with the microchip ID number. The adopters can register the microchip in pre-existing free databases as a method of permanent identification. This kind of registration facilitates tracing, proof of ownership, and standardization of medical records.
Pedigree documentation
Purebred healthy kittens for adoption come with documents known as pedigree papers that confirm the lineage and the breeder’s qualifications. The papers come from the recognized breeding associations and state that the kitten is of the breed standard. Moreover, they also reveal the breeder’s membership and his/her status in the corresponding breed societies.
Vaccination and Vet Checkup
Vaccinations and veterinary evaluations form the core of our health protocol, ensuring kittens are medically fit and disease-free before adoption.
Core vaccination schedule
Kittens receive the PCH (Panleukopenia, Calicivirus, Herpesvirus) vaccination series, with at least two doses administered before adoption. Rabies vaccination is provided as appropriate for age and recorded by a licensed veterinarian. All vaccination records, batch numbers, and administering clinics are documented in the medical file.
Comprehensive veterinary examination
Each kitten undergoes a thorough veterinary assessment covering physical condition, organ function, senses, oral health, weight, behavior, stress response, and overall development. This ensures the kitten is healthy and adapting normally to new environments.
Health-readiness confirmation
Vaccinations and veterinary checks verify the kitten’s fitness for transport and adoption. This evidence-based process eliminates health risks and provides clear proof of wellness.
Genetic Screening and Prevention
Happy Paws US employs a combination of genetic testing and diagnostic screening as part of its comprehensive health assurance program, with the goal of minimizing preventable health risks and promoting lifelong wellness. Genetic testing is performed on the kitten’s parents to assess hereditary health factors and reduce the likelihood of inherited conditions.
Upon request and for an additional fee, more specialized or extended genetic tests can be arranged.
These measures provide adopters with reliable medical insights that complement standard veterinary evaluations.
Viral Disease Screening
Before a kitten is made available for adoption, it is tested for both FeLV and FIV. These screenings are designed to detect the two most significant viral infections that can affect cats, ensuring that adopters receive only healthy kittens. All tests are conducted by licensed veterinarians, and the results are securely stored in the medical records to ensure transparency and support continuous veterinary care.
Parasite Detection and Control
Fecal samples are collected and analyzed to identify any internal parasites or gastrointestinal pathogens. Early detection enables prompt treatment, significantly reducing the risk of adopting a kitten with undetected parasitic infections. All findings are documented in the kitten’s health records, supporting future veterinary planning and regulatory inspections.
Optional Parental Genetic Testing
Additional genetic testing of the kitten’s parents can be provided upon request to confirm the absence of hereditary diseases or breed-specific conditions. This option enhances pedigree transparency and helps prospective owners better understand the kitten’s genetic background, thereby reducing the risk of inherited health issues over time.
This testing is aligned with the Genetic Screening and Prevention program, as all genetic evaluations are conducted on the parents rather than directly on the kittens.
Microchip identification
Microchipping is a very important part of the whole preventive care concept. Every kitten gets a permanent microchip identification that is listed on the health certificate and in the medical records. This way, correct identification, records that are traceable, and security for the entire life of the kitten are guaranteed.
