HARMONY CARE
for Every Stage of Your Cat’s Life

Life stages in kittens and cats are not easily defined as their different body systems can age at different rates depending on their breed. Even within the same breed, cats might mature differently. That said, general life stage guidelines are useful for focusing attention on the usual physical and behavioral changes that tend to occur during the different life stages.  

Here at Harmony Animal Hospital, we divide the life stages of our feline patients into the following 4 stages.  We love them all and look forward to going through them with you and your furry companion.
