Kitten Vaccines in Lake Buena Vista, FL, From Your Local Vet

Petfolk Veterinary & Urgent Care - Lake Buena Vista is a vet in Lake Buena Vista, FL, that vaccinates kittens from their first visit. Most kittens start FVRCP at 6 to 8 weeks and get boosters every 3 to 4 weeks until about 16 weeks. Rabies and feline leukemia (FeLV) are added along the way.

Kittens grow fast, and those first weeks set up a lifetime of health. They also set up how your cat feels about the vet, so every visit is kept short and gentle.

Call (321) 621-6905 or book online. Walk-ins are welcome, and the clinic is open weekends.

When should my kitten have the first vet visit?

Within a week or two of bringing your kitten home. Across Petfolk, kittens who started their vaccines with us from Oct 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026 typically had their first FVRCP at about 10 weeks old. If your kitten is older and has had no shots, that's fine. The vet will start the series now.

Which vaccines does a kitten get, and when?

The vet sets the exact plan, but a common schedule looks like this:

1. About 6 to 8 weeks: first FVRCP (herpesvirus, calicivirus and panleukopenia).

2. About 10 to 12 weeks: second FVRCP, and the first FeLV shot.

3. About 14 to 16 weeks: third FVRCP, second FeLV, and rabies. Florida law requires rabies for cats from 4 months.

4. One year later: boosters, then an adult schedule.

Across Petfolk in that same group, about 7 in 10 kittens came back for at least a second FVRCP booster. Every dose in the series counts, because protection builds with each one.

What else does the vet check?

Kitten visits cover more than shots:

• Worms. Many kittens are born with roundworms, so deworming is common at early visits.

• Fleas. Florida's warm, humid weather keeps fleas going all year, and kittens can lose a lot of blood to a heavy infestation.

• FeLV and FIV testing. Often suggested for kittens from shelters, rescues or the street.

• Growth and weight. Checked at every visit.

• Litter box, scratching and play. Bring any questions.

Fear Free handling is standard at every Petfolk clinic. The team uses soft towels, quiet voices and plenty of treats so your kitten learns the clinic is safe.

I was looking for a vet clinic to call home and get my kitty established at so this was my first time here.

Kittens from a shelter, a rescue or a parking lot

Plenty of Lake Buena Vista kittens come from the Orange County Animal Services adoption center on Conroy Road, from rescue groups, or from a box found behind a store. Bring any papers you were given, even handwritten ones. If you found the kitten yourself, keep it apart from your other cats until the vet has checked it for fleas, worms, ringworm and a runny-eye infection, which spread easily between cats.

How much do kitten vaccines cost?

Cost depends on which vaccines and tests your kitten needs at each visit. 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, which starts at $199 a year, can help with first-year visits. Ask the team what it includes.

After the shots

A sleepy evening or a small sore spot is normal. Call the clinic if your kitten vomits, has diarrhea, or the face swells. If your kitten struggles to breathe or goes limp, go to a 24-hour emergency hospital such as the Veterinary Emergency Clinic of Central Florida in Oakland. When the series is done, see cat vaccines in Lake Buena Vista for adult boosters, and plan ahead for spay and neuter in Lake Buena Vista.
