What shots does a kitten need, and when?

A common plan looks like this. The vet may change it for your kitten:

• 6 to 8 weeks: FVRCP

• 10 to 12 weeks: FVRCP booster, FeLV dose 1

• 14 to 16 weeks: FVRCP booster, FeLV dose 2, rabies

• About 1 year: FVRCP, FeLV and rabies boosters

Across Petfolk from October 2025 to June 2026, kittens typically started their vaccines with us at about 10 weeks old. Starting a little late is fine. The vet just builds the schedule from where your kitten is now.

Why do kittens need boosters every few weeks?

Kittens get some protection from their mother's milk, and that protection can block a vaccine. It fades at a different age for each kitten. Repeating the shot every 3 to 4 weeks makes sure one works as soon as the mother's protection is gone. About 7 in 10 kittens who started their series at Petfolk in that window came back for at least a second FVRCP booster. Finishing the full series is what gives lasting protection.

Does an indoor kitten need FeLV?

The feline leukemia vaccine is suggested for every kitten. A kitten's adult lifestyle isn't known yet, and kittens are more likely to catch FeLV than adult cats. After the first-year booster, the vet may stop FeLV if your cat stays inside and lives alone. See cat vaccines in Grant Park for adult cat boosters.

The first kitten visit

At the first visit the vet will:

1. Weigh your kitten and check eyes, ears, mouth, heart and belly.

2. Look for fleas and ear mites, which are common in rescued kittens.

3. Check a stool sample for worms and talk about deworming.

4. Give the shots that are due.

5. Talk about food, litter, scratching and the best time to spay or neuter.

The team uses gentle, Fear Free handling. Kittens get treats, soft towels and breaks, so the first visit builds trust. At home, get your kitten used to the carrier early by feeding treats inside it, so future trips are easy.

Found a kitten in the neighborhood?

Kittens show up under porches and in alleys around Grant Park and nearby neighborhoods, mostly in spring and summer. If you take one in, keep it apart from your other cats until the vet checks it. A stray kitten may carry fleas, worms or a virus. Bring it in for a first exam before it shares food bowls or a litter box. Fulton County Animal Services, run by LifeLine Animal Project, can help with strays you can't keep.

Cost of kitten shots

The exam starts at $99, and 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 PetfolkCare membership starts at $199 a year and covers routine care like core vaccines and the yearly exam under one fee.

Signs your kitten needs help fast

Kittens get sick fast because they are so small. Call the clinic if your kitten stops eating, has diarrhea for more than a day, or seems weak. If your kitten is limp, cold, or can't stand, or the clinic is closed, go to a 24-hour emergency hospital such as MedVet Atlanta on Century Circle NE.
