How it works
Updated August 2026AAHA/AAFP Feline Life Stages
The 2021 guideline defines four age-based stages used by this interface: kitten under 1 year, young adult 1–6, mature adult 7–10, and senior over 10.
Stage = age-band classificationChronological Age Only
The category uses age only. It does not infer vaccination timing, health status, lifestyle risk, or remaining lifespan.
Planning Boundary
Life stage helps frame veterinary conversations but cannot replace history, examination, diagnostics, or an individualized care plan.
Updated: August 2026
Example Scenarios
The result is Kitten because the entered age is under 1 year.
The exact boundary result is Mature adult under the cited framework.
The result is Senior, shown as age context rather than a health judgment.
FAQ
In the cited AAHA/AAFP framework, kitten is under 1 year, young adult is 1–6 years, mature adult is 7–10 years, and senior is over 10 years.

No. The published stage is based on chronological age. Lifestyle affects risks and care decisions, which require individualized veterinary assessment.
No. It is an age band, not a diagnosis, prognosis, or prediction of remaining life.
The stage assignment runs in your browser and requires no account. Only chronological age is needed.
