What is the kitten vaccine schedule?

At Petfolk Boynton Beach, a typical series looks like this, adjusted to your kitten's age and history:

1. 6 to 8 weeks: first FVRCP (protects against two causes of cat colds and feline distemper).

2. Every 3 to 4 weeks: FVRCP boosters until about 16 weeks old.

3. From about 8 to 12 weeks: FeLV (feline leukemia), two doses a few weeks apart.

4. 12 to 16 weeks: rabies.

5. About a year later: first adult boosters, including the 12-month rabies booster.

Across Petfolk, kittens usually start their vaccines with us at about 10 weeks old, and about 7 in 10 come back for at least a second FVRCP booster (kittens who started Oct 2025 to Jun 2026). Finishing the series is what gives full protection.

What happens at a kitten's first visit?

The vet weighs your kitten, checks the eyes, ears, mouth, heart and belly, and looks for fleas, ear mites and worms. Many kittens get their first deworming at this visit. The vet will also talk about a FeLV/FIV test, feeding, litter box set-up and when to spay or neuter.

Found a baby kitten, was able to schedule an appointment the same day.

Fear Free handling is standard at every Petfolk clinic. Bring your kitten in a carrier with a towel, plus a fresh stool sample if you have one.

Is my found kitten healthy?

Kittens found outdoors in Boynton Beach often have fleas, worms or an eye infection, and they can be cold or dehydrated. Before you bring a found kitten home to other cats:

• Keep the kitten in a separate room until the vet visit.

• Wash your hands after handling.

• Offer a warm, quiet spot. Don't give cow's milk.

• Note roughly how old the kitten seems and how it is eating.

Very young kittens, with eyes just opening, need bottle feeding, so call the clinic for guidance the same day.

If you can't keep a found kitten, Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control runs the county shelter at 7100 Belvedere Road in West Palm Beach. Many local rescues also take kittens. A vet check first gives the kitten its best start wherever it ends up.

What does the kitten series cost?

Kitten shots are given at wellness visits. A wellness exam starts at $99 at Petfolk Boynton Beach, or it is free with PetfolkCare, which starts at $199 a year. Each vaccine is priced on its own. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.

A late booster is easy to fix

If a booster slips, book the next one as soon as you can. A short delay usually means continuing the series. A long gap may need one extra dose.

When a kitten can't wait

A kitten who won't eat, is very weak, has diarrhea or struggles to breathe needs help fast. Call Petfolk Boynton Beach during open hours, or go to a 24-hour emergency hospital, such as Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) on North Congress Avenue.
