Feline:
FVRCP: An initial vaccination will be given at 6 weeks of
age and then every 3-4 weeks after until 16 weeks old. A
booster will be given 1 year later and every 3 years
thereafter.
Rabies: An initial vaccination will be given at 12-13 weeks
of age. A booster will be given every year thereafter.
FelV: An initial vaccination will be given to all kittens at
12 weeks of age, regardless of whether or not they are
indoor or outdoor cats. A booster vaccination will be given
3-4 weeks later. For cats that go outside, and are therefore
at risk, a booster will be given one year later and every 3
years thereafter. For low risk cats, or cats that are strictly
indoors and have no other cats in the household that go
outside, no additional vaccinations will be given, unless
they start to venture outside.
**All Cats Should Be Tested For FelV/FIV At Least Once.
For Cats That Go Outside, Annual Testing Is
Recommended**
