The following is a general guideline for your kitten’s vaccine requirements. Note that your vet may change this schedule to suit your kitten’s risk factors.
Six to eight weeks of age
- feline rhinotracheitis-calicivirus-panleukopenia vaccine #1
- chlamydia vaccine #1 (this vaccine is optional, it is also sometimes combined with the above-mentioned vaccine)
- stool check for internal parasites- a de-worming is performed if it’s needed
Twelve weeks of age
- feline rhinotracheitis-calicivirus-panleukopenia vaccine #2
- chlamydia vaccine #2
- feline leukemia vaccine #1
- a second de-worming (if needed)
Sixteen weeks of age
- feline leukemia vaccine #2
- rabies vaccine
- feline infectious peritonitis vaccine #1 (note this vaccine is highly controversial, it is usually only recommended for catteries or multicat households)
Twenty weeks of age
- feline infectious peritonitis vaccine #2
Annually
- all vaccines are boostered
- a fecal exam is performed for indoor cats (for outdoor cats, every six months), simply drop a sample off at your vet
