Why Vaccinate?
Many serious diseases of cats can be prevented by vaccination. With over 50 million pet cats in the United States alone, your cat is bound to come in contact with an infectious disease at some time. Even if you always keep your cat indoors, your cat can be exposed to viruses carried in the air, in dust, or on clothing. Vaccination is inexpensive protection against costly treatment or even the premature death of your cat.

As soon as you get a new kitten, it should be vaccinated. Although kittens may receive some disease protection passed along from their mothers, this protection is unpredictable. Because of this, veterinarians recommend a series of vaccinations to guard a kitten through the early, most susceptible months of life.

Listed below are the vaccinations your kitten needs and at what age they are due.

8 weeks
FVRC-P (Feline rhinotrachitis-Calici, and Panleukopeia viruses), a fecal check for intestinal parasites, and deworming. We also recommend that your kitten be tested for Feline Leukemia, the leading killer of cats. At this time the doctor will give your kitten a complete physical examination, discuss proper nutrition, housebreaking and family interaction.

12 weeks
FVRC-P, 1st Leukemia, and second deworming. At this time the doctor will again discuss nutrition and housebreaking and will answer any questions or address any problems you are having.

16 weeks
2nd Leukemia, 3rd FVRC-P, Rabies vaccination and fecal check. This is the last of the kitten series your pet will be needing. At this time the doctor will be discussing spaying or neutering your kitten.

Once the series of vaccinations are done, your kitten should be vaccinated yearly with FVRC-P, Leukemia and Rabies and should be tested for intestinal parasites.
