My kitten fell from balcony, seems okay. Should I take her to the vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Female | spayed | 3 months and 18 days old

My kitten just fell from my balcony and exhibits no external injuries. She seems to be fine and is resting with her eyes closed. (Probably from the shock). She is purring and Just seems to be exhausted. I am monitoring her to make sure she doesn’t lose consciousness. Should she be brought to a vet within the next few days? Or will she be fine? Thank you

You need to monitor her for the next 1-2hrs at home. If there are no injuries, she should be back to normal. Acting as normal, eating, drinking, not showing any signs of pain or discomfort. If she is not, for example if she refused to eat, looks sleepy, lethargic, limping, having breathing problems you should take her to your local vets today.
