Munchkin cats are a generally healthy and robust breed. Providing proper care is straightforward and ensures they live a long, happy life. Key areas of focus include:

• Balanced Diet: Like any cat, Munchkins thrive on a high-quality, balanced diet rich in protein. Proper nutrition is the foundation of their health.

• Weight Management: Due to their shorter legs, preventing obesity is crucial. We will provide guidance on appropriate portion sizes. Regular play and exercise are essential to keep them lean and active.

• Grooming: Munchkins are relatively low-maintenance. A regular brushing session once or twice a week is enough to keep their coat healthy, shiny, and free of mats, especially for the long-haired variety.

• Veterinary Care: Consistent, routine vet check-ups and keeping up-to-date on all required vaccinations will ensure your kitten is monitored and protected.
