When adopting an Ocicat kitten, it is important to find a reputable breeder and ensure that the kitten's parents have been health screened for any genetic health issues, such as kidney or heart disease. These cats are generally healthy, but they can be prone to dental problems and obesity, so it is important to provide regular dental care and feeding them high-quality food.
