Kitten Vaccines in Lake Mary, FL, From Your Local Vet

Petfolk Veterinary & Urgent Care - Lake Mary is a vet in Lake Mary, FL, that vaccinates kittens from about 6 to 8 weeks old. Kittens get an FVRCP booster every 3 to 4 weeks until about 16 weeks, two doses of feline leukemia (FeLV) vaccine, and rabies, which Florida law requires by 4 months.

The first visit is the best time to set the full plan, including testing, deworming and when to spay or neuter.

When should my kitten get each vaccine?

At Petfolk Lake Mary, a usual kitten schedule looks like this:

1. 6 to 8 weeks: first FVRCP (rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia) and a full exam.

2. 9 to 12 weeks: second FVRCP and first FeLV.

3. 12 to 16 weeks: third FVRCP, second FeLV, and rabies.

4. About 1 year later: boosters for FVRCP, FeLV and rabies.

A kitten who starts late, after 16 weeks, may need only two FVRCP doses. The vet will adjust the plan to your kitten's age and records.

Across Petfolk, kittens typically get their first FVRCP with us at about 10 weeks old. About 7 in 10 of those kittens (69%) came back for at least a second FVRCP booster, and 64% got their rabies vaccine with us too (first doses Oct 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026).

Does my kitten need an FIV and FeLV test?

Yes, the vet usually recommends it. FIV and FeLV are viruses that weaken a cat's immune system, and a kitten can be born with them without looking sick. A quick blood test tells you whether it is safe to introduce your kitten to other cats at home.

If the test is done very young, the vet may suggest repeating it a few months later.

What should I bring to the first kitten visit?

Make the first trip easy:

• Adoption or breeder records, including any vaccines or dewormers already given

• A fresh stool sample in a sealed bag

• A small towel or blanket that smells like home

• A list of questions, from litter habits to scratching posts

Fear Free handling is standard at every Petfolk clinic. Kittens can be checked in the carrier, on a lap, or wrapped in a towel, whatever keeps them calm.

Vet and Nurse Assistant were very welcoming and attentive to our needs with our new adopted kittens!

Shelter and rescue kittens

Many Lake Mary kittens come from Seminole County Animal Services in Sanford or from local rescues. Shelter kittens often arrive with a first FVRCP and a deworming. Bring every page of paperwork so the vet can continue the series and avoid repeat doses.

Indoor kitten plans

Even if your kitten will live indoors, the first FeLV doses are recommended for all kittens, because plans change and kittens sometimes slip outside. Rabies is required by Florida Statute 828.30 for every cat 4 months and older.

Kitten vaccine costs

At Petfolk Lake Mary, kitten shots are given at a wellness exam, which starts at $99, or with PetfolkCare, which starts at $199 a year. Each vaccine is priced separately. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.

Signs a kitten needs help now

Kittens get sick fast. A kitten who stops eating, has diarrhea for more than a day, is very sleepy, or breathes with an open mouth should be seen the same day. If the clinic is closed, go to a 24-hour emergency hospital such as Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) at 1490 W Fairbanks Ave in Winter Park.
