What is the kitten vaccine schedule?

At Petfolk Nichols Hills, most kittens follow this plan:

1. About 8 weeks: exam, first FVRCP, deworming and a stool check.

2. About 11 to 12 weeks: second FVRCP. FeLV (feline leukemia) may start for kittens who will go outside.

3. About 14 to 16 weeks: third FVRCP and the rabies vaccine. A second FeLV dose if it was started.

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

Across Petfolk, kittens typically start their vaccines with us at about 10 weeks old. About 7 in 10 come back for at least a second FVRCP booster (69%), and nearly two-thirds (64%) also get their rabies vaccine with us (first FVRCP Oct 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026; follow-up through Oct 19, 2026). Finishing the series is what makes it work.

What does FVRCP protect against?

FVRCP covers three viruses. Feline viral rhinotracheitis and calicivirus cause most cat colds, with sneezing, runny eyes and mouth sores. Panleukopenia, also called feline distemper, attacks the gut and immune system and is very hard on young kittens. All three spread easily between cats.

I found a kitten outside. What should I do?

First, check if it's healthy enough to wait: is it warm, alert and eating? Bring a found kitten to Petfolk Nichols Hills for an exam before it meets your other pets. The vet checks for fleas, worms and signs of a cold, and can scan for a microchip. Keep the newcomer in a separate room with its own litter box and bowls until the exam is done.

Found kittens often carry roundworms and fleas, so deworming and flea treatment usually start right away. If you've been feeding a backyard stray, a quick exam helps both the kitten and the cats already in your home.

Very good service personnel and professional.

Gentle handling for small patients

Fear Free handling is standard at Petfolk. At Petfolk Nichols Hills, kittens are held softly, warmed with towels and offered treats or a lick mat. Short, positive visits now mean a calmer adult cat later. Handling your kitten's paws, ears and mouth for a few seconds each day at home helps too, because nail trims and dental checks feel normal by the time it is grown. Start carrier training at home this week: leave it open with a blanket inside so it becomes a nap spot, not a trap.

What do kitten vaccines cost?

Each vaccine is priced on its own and given with an exam. At Petfolk Nichols Hills, a wellness exam starts at $99. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.

After the kitten series

Once your kitten finishes, it moves to the adult plan on cat vaccines in Nichols Hills. Most cats are spayed or neutered at around 5 to 6 months; see spay and neuter in Nichols Hills.

A kitten who suddenly fades

A kitten who stops eating, has diarrhea and seems weak can go downhill quickly. Call (405) 251-8816 right away. If your kitten is cold, limp or not responding, go to a 24-hour hospital such as VEG Oklahoma City on Pawnee Dr.
