Before buying a Siamese kitten, you should ask the breeder if there any any congenital problems or predisposition to conditions such as feline cardiomyopathy in his/her bloodline. All adult cats and ready-to-go kittens should be vaccinated against rhinotracheitis, feline panleukopenia and calici varus (the so called "three-in-one vaccination").
The adults in the cattery should be immunized agaist feline leukemia virus, or have ceritificats of negative leukemia tests results, dated within the past three months. Many breeders do not give the vaccine to the kittens to be sold, preferring to leave that to the new owner. You should also ask the breeder about guarantee of health and personality. Although no one can make absolute guarantee of anything, if there is a personality problem, reputable breeders will give a refund for the return of the Siamese if it is in good health.

For the most part, the Siamese cat has been and remains a vigorous and healthy breed. It appears to be less susceptible to feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) than other purebred cats such as Abyssinians, Bengals, Birmans, Himalayans, Ragdolls and Rexes. However, Persian, Siamese, and Siamese have repeatedly been linked with one or more of eye disorders, including cataracts, glaucoma, lens luxation and corneal abnormalities which are believed to be inherited in these breeds.
