When do kittens start vaccines?

As soon as your kitten comes home, if they are at least 6 weeks old. Kittens from a shelter or rescue often have one shot already. Bring those records so the vet can pick up where they left off.

Which shots are in the kitten series?

A common plan at Petfolk Kennesaw:

1. First visit (6 to 8 weeks): full exam, FVRCP, deworming and a stool check.

2. Second visit (10 to 12 weeks): FVRCP booster and the first FeLV shot.

3. Third visit (14 to 16 weeks): FVRCP booster, FeLV booster and rabies.

FVRCP protects against two common upper respiratory viruses and panleukopenia, a severe stomach virus. FeLV is feline leukemia, which spreads between cats through close contact. The vet recommends FeLV for every kitten, because you can't know yet if your kitten will ever slip outside or live with another cat.

About 7 in 10 kittens who start their vaccines at Petfolk come back for at least a second FVRCP booster. Finishing the series is what gives lasting protection.

Should my kitten be tested for FeLV and FIV?

Yes. A small blood sample checks for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus, often during the first visit. It matters most for strays, rescues and kittens joining a home with other cats. The vet explains what any result means and what comes next.

A first vet visit that feels safe

At Petfolk Kennesaw your kitten goes straight to a private exam room. Fear Free handling means gentle hands, soft towels and treats. A kitten who has good early visits often grows into a cat who handles the vet much better.

Getting your kitten used to the carrier now helps too. Leave it open at home with a blanket inside, and drop a treat in now and then.

Questions to bring

• How much and how often should my kitten eat?

• When should my kitten be spayed or neutered?

• Which litter box setup works best?

• When can my kitten start flea prevention?

• How do I trim my kitten's nails without a fight?

• Is it safe to let my kitten on the screened porch?

Write them on your phone as they come up during the week. New kitten homes have a lot going on, and it is easy to forget a question once you are in the exam room.
