My kittens are throwing up undigested food. When should I see a vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Male | neutered | 9 months and 3 days old | 8 lbs

I wake up to non-digested/partially digested dry food cat vomit multiple times a week and I am getting concerned for my 9 month old kittens. I don't know which of the two it is, I've read online that this could be because they ate food too fast, and I don't know if it is because it's summer and fur shedding is getting in their stomachs too. I am lost and don't even know if I should go to a vet or a pet hospital. I am also worried about vet prices.

If this has been ongoing a while it's best to bring both kittens into your vet for an exam. They can check for any issues such as GI upset, obstructions, allergies, parasites (bring in a stool sample as well if you have it) and can treat anything ongoing. If you're concerned about prices or having trouble affording care, this site can help give you some ideas/options to make it more affordable: https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/having-trouble-affording-veterinary-care
