Kitten Vaccines in Peachtree Corners, GA, From Your Local Vet

Petfolk Veterinary & Urgent Care - Peachtree Corners is a vet in Peachtree Corners, GA, that vaccinates kittens from about 6 to 8 weeks old. Kittens need an FVRCP shot every 3 to 4 weeks until about 16 weeks, a rabies vaccine, and usually two doses of the feline leukemia (FeLV) vaccine.

The kitten months are also when your cat learns what a vet visit feels like. A calm start pays off for years.

What is the kitten vaccine schedule?

At Petfolk Peachtree Corners, a typical kitten plan looks like this, adjusted to age and history:

1. 6 to 8 weeks: exam, first FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia), deworming.

2. Every 3 to 4 weeks: FVRCP boosters until about 16 weeks.

3. From about 8 to 9 weeks: FeLV, two doses 3 to 4 weeks apart, after a negative FeLV test if needed.

4. Around 12 to 16 weeks: rabies.

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

Across Petfolk, kittens typically got their first FVRCP with us at about 10 weeks old, and about 7 in 10 (69%) came back for at least a second FVRCP booster (first doses Oct 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026, followed through Oct 19, 2026). That second and third booster is where protection really builds, so put the dates in your calendar before you leave.

Why does my kitten need so many shots?

Antibodies from the mother cat protect a kitten for the first weeks, but they also block vaccines. Nobody can tell exactly when they fade for your kitten. Repeating FVRCP every few weeks until about 16 weeks makes sure one dose lands after that protection drops. Panleukopenia, the "P" in FVRCP, is a severe virus that spreads easily among young cats.

The first visit, step by step

• Exam: eyes, ears (ear mites are common), heart, belly and coat.

• Parasites: a stool check and deworming. Across Petfolk, kittens were the most likely pets to be dewormed at a wellness visit: 21% of kitten visits, versus 14% for puppies (Oct 1, 2025 to Sep 30, 2026).

• Tests: FeLV and FIV testing for kittens from shelters, rescues or the street.

• Talk: litter box setup, scratching posts, food, and when to spay or neuter.

Fear Free handling is standard at every Petfolk clinic. Bring your kitten in a carrier with a towel from home, and bring a stool sample if you can.

What do kitten vaccines cost?

Kitten shots are given during wellness exams, which start at $99 at Petfolk Peachtree Corners, or are free with the PetfolkCare Plan, 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.

Found a kitten outside?

Kittens found in a yard or parking lot are common in Gwinnett County in spring and summer. Keep a found kitten away from your other cats until a vet has checked it for fleas, worms, ringworm and upper respiratory infection, and has run an FeLV and FIV test. Then start the vaccine series. Wash your hands after handling a found kitten, and keep its bedding and bowls separate for the first couple of weeks. If you can't keep it, the vet can still check it and get it ready for a rescue group.

When a kitten needs help fast

A kitten who stops eating, has diarrhea and vomiting, or seems weak and cold needs to be seen the same day. Young kittens can go downhill quickly. If Petfolk Peachtree Corners is closed, go to a 24-hour emergency hospital such as Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) in Brookhaven.
