Kitten Vaccines in Noblesville, IN, From Your Local Vet

FVRCP boosters every 3 to 4 weeks, rabies at 3 months, and a calm first visit for your new kitten.

Petfolk Veterinary & Urgent Care - Noblesville is a vet in Noblesville, IN, that vaccinates kittens from about 6 to 8 weeks old. A kitten gets FVRCP boosters every 3 to 4 weeks until about 16 weeks, then a rabies vaccine, which Indiana requires for every cat 3 months and older.

Whether your kitten came from a breeder, a shelter or a barn down the road, the first visit sets up the whole first year.

Call (463) 217-5944, book online or walk in with your new kitten.

What shots does a kitten need, and when?

A typical kitten plan at Petfolk Noblesville, adjusted to age and history:

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

  2. 9 to 12 weeks: FVRCP booster. First FeLV (feline leukemia) dose for kittens who may go outdoors or live with other cats.

  3. 12 to 16 weeks: FVRCP booster, second FeLV dose, and rabies once your kitten is 3 months old.

  4. About 16 weeks: last FVRCP booster if the series started early.

  5. One year later: boosters that move your cat onto the adult schedule.

Across Petfolk, kittens usually start their shots with us at about 10 weeks old, and close to 7 in 10 come back for a second FVRCP booster (first doses Oct 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026). The boosters are where the lasting protection comes from, so put the dates in your phone before you leave.

What happens at the first kitten visit?

The first visit at Petfolk Noblesville covers the exam, the shots and the questions new cat parents always have. The vet checks your kitten's eyes, ears, mouth, heart, belly and coat, looks for fleas and ear mites, and checks for worms. Kittens are often tested for feline leukemia and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), especially strays and kittens from a litter with unknown parents.

Bring a fresh stool sample, any paperwork from the shelter or breeder, and your list: litter habits, scratching, how much to feed, and when to spay or neuter.

Fear Free handling is standard at every Petfolk clinic. Kittens get treats, a warm towel and time to explore the room before anyone picks them up.

Found a stray kitten in Noblesville?

Strays turn up in garages, window wells and parking lots every spring and summer. If you find one:

  • Keep it apart from your other cats until the vet checks it, since strays can carry fleas, worms and upper respiratory viruses.

  • Offer warmth first and kitten formula, not cow's milk.

  • Check the Found Pets page of the Humane Society for Hamilton County in case someone is looking for it.

  • Book a visit so the vet can estimate age, start vaccines and deworming, and test for FeLV and FIV.

Keeping a new kitten safe at home

Until the series is done, keep your kitten indoors and away from cats with unknown vaccine history. A few other first-weeks tips:

  • Hide cords and hair ties, and keep lilies out of the house, since even the pollen is toxic to cats.

  • Set up one litter box per cat plus one, in quiet spots.

  • Start brushing teeth and touching paws early, with treats.

  • Use a sturdy carrier for every car ride, with a towel from home inside.

Kitten vaccine costs

Kitten shots are given at wellness exams, which start at $99 at Petfolk Noblesville, or are included with PetfolkCare, which starts at $199 a year. Each vaccine and test 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 fast

Kittens get dehydrated quickly. Call Petfolk Noblesville at (463) 217-5944 during open hours for vomiting, diarrhea, a kitten who will not eat, or crusty eyes and sneezing. For a kitten who is cold, limp or breathing hard, go to a 24-hour emergency hospital such as MedVet Indianapolis on Mayflower Park Dr in Carmel.
