Start here with a new kitten
One quiet visit that sorts out the first six months
Most kittens in Dubai arrive with a story rather than a medical record — found in a car park, handed over by a neighbour who moved, or bought with a vaccination card that says very little. The first appointment with a kitten vet in Dubai is where that story gets turned into a plan. At Petbook Veterinary Clinic in Al Quoz 3 the consultation is AED 120 and appointments are usually available the same day.
The visit is deliberately slow. A licensed veterinarian examines her nose to tail — weight, temperature, eyes, ears, mouth, heart, abdomen and coat — and checks her against the age she is supposed to be. Kittens are frequently younger than the person handing them over believes, and that changes when the vaccination course can start. We also look for the three things we find most in kittens here: ear mites, fleas, and worms.
From there the plan is written down: the cat vaccination course inside the AED 199 package, deworming dosed on today's weight, and when to think about spaying. Everything after that lives on our cat vet in Dubai page.
-
A full examination first
Weight, heart, eyes, ears, mouth and abdomen — checked before any vaccine is given.
-
The course started right
AED 199 covers the kitten package. We work to the interval, because a dose given too early does not count.
-
Fleas, ear mites and worms
The three we find most in kittens here. Treated on the day, dosed on the scale, with a repeat schedule.
-
Handled like a cat
A quiet room, no scruffing, and breaks when she needs them. The first visit sets how she feels about every one after.

khadidja belairche 4 weeks ago I highly recommend this veterinary clinic! They truly care about pets as if they were their own babies. Every time my cats have been sick, the team has always followed up to check on their recovery & see if they needed anything else. That level of care & compassion means so much to me 🤍

michael lapez 3 weeks ago I had a wonderful experience at Petbook Veterinary Clinic in Al Quoz with my 9-month-old male Turkish Angora cat, Meiko. A special thank you to Dr. Emad and Miss Charrie for their excellent care, kindness, patience, and professionalism.

Maria Teresa Orino 4 weeks ago I had all three of my cats vaccinated at this clinic, and I couldn't be happier with the service. The veterinarians and staff were very professional, gentle, and caring with my cats, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

Step by step
What happens at the first appointment
About twenty-five minutes, unhurried. Bring the carrier she travelled in and any paperwork, however thin it looks.
- Step 01
Where she came from
Street, shelter, breeder or a friend who moved away. This tells us what she has likely been exposed to — street kittens need a different first work-up.
- Step 02
Weight and real age
Weighed on the clinic scale, and her teeth give her actual age. Stated ages are often wrong, and the vaccination timing depends on the real one.
- Step 03
The full examination
Heart and chest, eyes, ears, mouth, belly and coat. Heart murmurs, umbilical hernias and cleft palates are what we check for at this age.
- Step 04
Ears, skin and coat
Ear mites and fleas are close to universal in kittens picked up here. Both are treated on the day rather than sent home to guess at.
- Step 05
Deworming on the scale
Dosed on today's weight and repeated — a kitten outgrows a dose in a fortnight. Worms are the rule at this age, not the exception.
- Step 06
Vaccination, if she is well
Only when the examination is clear. A kitten with a temperature, diarrhoea or heavy flea burden gets that dealt with first and a new date.

- Fleas and ear mites treated in the same visit
Kittens in Dubai
What is different about a kitten here
Most kittens we see were found, not bought, and almost all of them will live their whole lives indoors in an apartment. That shapes the first visit.
-
Many arrive from the street
Car parks and compound walls are where a lot of Dubai kittens come from. Fleas, ear mites, worms and eye infections come with them.
-
Vaccination cards you cannot verify
Cards sold with kittens often list doses given too early or not at all. We read them against the examination and say honestly whether to restart.
-
Indoor life from day one
Balconies and tower windows are the risk here, not traffic. Screening a balcony matters more in Dubai than a collar and a bell.
-
Air conditioning, all year
Constant AC keeps kittens shedding and drives low water intake — the beginning of the urinary problems we see in adult cats here.
-
Flat-faced breeds are everywhere
Persians and Exotics are very common in Dubai. Their eyes, nostrils and jaws need checking early, not once they are struggling in summer.
-
Households change often
People move flats and leave the country at short notice. A kitten registered, microchipped and vaccinated early is far easier to rehome or take with you.
When to come in
The first six months, by age
Kitten vaccination works on intervals rather than on one appointment, and the clock starts at her real age, not the age on the card.
- The week she arrives: examination, weight, fleas and ear mites, deworming, and an honest read of her card
- From around 6–8 weeks: the vaccination course begins and repeats at the interval your vet sets
- Until the course is finished: keep her away from other cats whose history you do not know
- Around 5–6 months: microchip, and the conversation about spaying or castration
Kittens have no reserves
When a kitten cannot wait until tomorrow
A kitten can go from quiet to critical inside a day. Any of these means a same-day appointment — or, after hours, the emergency line.
- Not eating or drinking for more than a few hours
- Diarrhoea, especially with blood, or repeated vomiting
- Cold to the touch, floppy, or hard to rouse
- Eyes gummed shut, or breathing through an open mouth
- A swollen or painful belly
- Straining in the litter tray with nothing coming out
Common questions
How many months should I vaccinate my kitten?
The course usually begins around eight weeks of age and runs as a series of doses spaced weeks apart, finishing in the region of four months old — then a booster a year later. The exact number of doses depends on her real age when she started and whether anything she had before can be verified. We give you the finish date in writing at the first visit rather than a general rule, because that date is what boarding, registration and travel later depend on.
How long after a 2nd vaccination can a cat go out?
For an indoor cat in Dubai the practical answer is that she does not need to go out at all. If you mean mixing with other cats — a boarding stay, a new cat joining the household, or a cattery — wait until the course is finished and give it a couple of weeks after the final dose for her body to respond. A second dose part-way through a course is not full protection.
What is the 3-3-3 rule for cats?
It is a settling-in guide rather than a medical rule: roughly three days of hiding and barely eating, three weeks to start showing her real personality and routine, and three months to feel genuinely at home. It is useful because it stops people worrying too early — but it has limits. A kitten who is not eating at all for more than a day is a veterinary problem, not a settling-in phase, and should be seen the same day.
Can I leave my 4 month old kitten alone for 8 hours?
A healthy, fully settled four-month-old can manage a normal working day with food, fresh water, a clean tray and safe things to climb and shred — but it is a long stretch at that age and boredom shows up as destroyed furniture and over-grooming. What matters more in a Dubai apartment is that the air conditioning cannot fail while you are out, and that balconies and windows are screened. If she is newly arrived or unwell, that is not the week to test eight hours.
Are cats happier with a second cat?
Sometimes, and it depends far more on the individual than on the idea. Kittens raised together and young cats introduced slowly often do very well; an adult cat who has had a flat to herself for years frequently does not. In apartment-sized homes the practical rule is one litter tray per cat plus one, separate feeding spots, and vertical space so they can avoid each other. If your current cat starts spraying, hiding or stops using the tray after a newcomer arrives, that is stress and worth a consultation rather than waiting it out.
