Veterinary Oversight

The veterinarians behind every Aurelian Folds kitten.

We do not breed in isolation. Every queen, stud and kitten in our Hudson Valley cattery is reviewed on a documented schedule by three veterinary partners. Their reports are filed and shared with adopting families on request.

Dr. Helena Whitfield, DVM, DACVS-SA

Feline orthopedic specialist — annual radiographic review

Dr. Anthony Marchetti, DVM, DACVIM (Cardiology)

HCM cardiac screening, every 12 months

Cold Spring Veterinary Hospital

Primary veterinary care — every kitten examined twice before placement

What veterinary partnership actually looks like

Every breeding cat receives an annual cardiac ultrasound by a DACVIM-credentialed cardiologist and an annual orthopedic radiograph reviewed by a board-certified small-animal surgeon. Litters are examined by our primary practice at four, eight and twelve weeks. We will provide an unredacted PDF of any screening report on written request from a family on our waiting list.

We do not list partners we have not worked with. If a name on this page appears in a buyer review or in a vet record discrepancy, we want to know — please tell us.
