Kitten Vaccines in Fulshear, TX, From Your Local Vet

Petfolk Veterinary & Urgent Care - Fulshear is a vet in Fulshear, TX, that vaccinates kittens from about 6 to 8 weeks old. Kittens get FVRCP boosters every 3 to 4 weeks until they are at least 16 weeks old, plus FeLV and rabies.

A new kitten is fragile in the first months. Antibodies from the mother wear off on an uneven timeline, so the series of boosters keeps protection steady while the kitten's own immune system takes over.

Call (281) 214-6363, book online or walk in. The clinic sees kittens on weekends.

What is the kitten vaccine schedule?

At Petfolk Fulshear, most kittens follow a schedule like this one, adjusted to the age they come home:

• 6 to 8 weeks: first FVRCP, a full exam and a fecal test.

• 10 to 12 weeks: second FVRCP and the first FeLV dose.

• 14 to 16 weeks: third FVRCP, second FeLV dose and rabies.

• About 1 year: boosters that move your cat to the adult schedule.

Across Petfolk, kittens typically start their shots with us at about 10 weeks old. At our Houston-area clinics, about 3 in 10 kittens who start with us have three or more FVRCP visits (Oct 2025 to Sep 2026). Kittens who start later often need fewer.

What do the kitten vaccines protect against?

Each kitten vaccine at Petfolk Fulshear covers a different disease:

1. FVRCP protects against feline herpesvirus, calicivirus and panleukopenia. Panleukopenia is a severe virus that spreads easily among young cats.

2. FeLV protects against feline leukemia virus, which passes between cats through close contact like grooming and shared bowls.

3. Rabies is required by Texas law by 16 weeks of age.

More than shots

Kitten visits are also checkups. In our Houston-area clinics, three in four kitten wellness visits include a vaccine, and about half include a lab test, such as a fecal check or a FeLV and FIV screen (Oct 2025 to Sep 2026).

Ask the team about deworming for kittens, flea control and when to plan spay or neuter surgery. Across Petfolk, about three in four cats are fixed before their first birthday.

Small kittens, slow hands

Fear Free handling at Petfolk Fulshear means the kitten sets the pace. The vet often does the exam in your lap or in the carrier, uses tasty treats, and keeps the room quiet. A good first visit makes every later visit easier.

Bring the kitten in a carrier with a towel from home. Familiar smells help a lot.

Is your kitten from a Fort Bend shelter?

Many Fulshear kittens come from Fort Bend County Animal Services in Rosenberg or from local rescues. Shelters often give the first FVRCP shot before adoption. Bring the paperwork to the first visit so the vet can pick up where the shelter left off and not repeat a shot too soon.

What to bring to the first visit

• Any shelter, rescue or breeder paperwork.

• A fresh stool sample in a sealed bag, if you can get one.

• A list of what your kitten eats now.

• Your questions about litter, scratching and play.

The stool sample lets the vet at Petfolk Fulshear check for worms without waiting for your kitten to give one in the clinic.

What does a kitten visit cost?

Each kitten visit at Petfolk Fulshear includes a wellness exam, which starts at $99. Vaccines and tests are priced separately, and a PetfolkCare membership, which starts at $199 a year, includes wellness exams. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.

When to call

A sleepy kitten after shots is normal for a day. Call Petfolk Fulshear if your kitten stops eating, has diarrhea or seems weak. Go to a 24-hour emergency hospital, such as VEG Katy, for vomiting, face swelling or trouble breathing after a vaccine, or for a kitten that will not wake up fully.
