Kitten Vaccines in Sandy Springs, GA, From Your Local Vet

Petfolk Veterinary & Urgent Care - Sandy Springs is a vet in Sandy Springs, GA, that vaccinates kittens from about 6 to 8 weeks old. Kittens get an FVRCP shot every 3 to 4 weeks until about 16 weeks, then rabies, and usually feline leukemia (FeLV) too.

Kittens come from many places: a breeder, a shelter, a friend's litter, or under a porch. The first visit sorts out what has been done and what comes next.

What vaccines does a kitten need, and when?

At Petfolk Sandy Springs, a typical kitten plan looks like this:

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

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

3. From about 8 weeks: FeLV, two doses a few weeks apart. It is recommended for all kittens, since a kitten's future lifestyle isn't known yet.

4. Around 12 to 16 weeks: rabies.

5. About a year later: first-year boosters, then a longer adult schedule.

Across Petfolk, kittens typically start their vaccines with us at about 10 weeks old, and about 7 in 10 of them (69%) came back for at least a second FVRCP booster (first doses Oct 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026).

What happens at the first kitten visit?

The first kitten visit at Petfolk Sandy Springs covers more than shots. The vet checks your kitten nose to tail, looks at the ears for mites, checks the skin for fleas, and talks about deworming. A quick blood test for FIV and FeLV is a good idea for any kitten whose mother's history is unknown. Many results come back from the in-house lab the same day. If you can, bring a fresh stool sample in a sealed bag, collected within the last day, so the team can check it for worms and other parasites.

Fear Free handling is standard at every Petfolk clinic. Handling a kitten gently now makes every future visit easier.

Staff was super informative to me and caring to my munchkin kitten.

Found a stray kitten in Sandy Springs?

Bring the kitten in for a first exam before it meets your other pets. Keep it in a separate room until the vet has checked for fleas, worms, ear mites and signs of a cold. If you can't keep it, Fulton County Animal Services, run by LifeLine Animal Project, takes in strays and can help. See the county animal services page for how to reach them.

What do kitten vaccines cost?

Kitten shots are given at wellness exams, which start at $99 at Petfolk Sandy Springs, 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, and the final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.

Spay or neuter comes next

Most kittens are spayed or neutered at about 5 to 6 months. Across Petfolk, about three in four cats (76%) are spayed or neutered before their first birthday (Oct 1, 2025 to Sep 30, 2026). The vet will help you pick the timing at a booster visit. Read more about spay and neuter in Sandy Springs.

When a kitten needs help fast

Kittens get sick quickly. A kitten who stops eating, has vomiting and diarrhea together, seems cold or weak, or struggles to breathe needs to be seen right away. Call Petfolk Sandy Springs during open hours, or go to a 24-hour emergency hospital such as BluePearl Pet Hospital on Abernathy Rd NE.
