If you want to enjoy the companionship of a healthy and happy
cat, 1 of the most important things you can do is to safeguard
its health. Vaccinations can protect your cat from many common
cat diseases.
Weaned From Mother's Immunity
When your kitten is 6 to 8 weeks old, you should begin his
vaccinations. Before this time, the mother's antibodies have
been protecting him. Once he is weaned, however, he will need to
develop antibodies of his own.
The Vital First Visit
The first office visit is when your veterinarian will give your
kitten a complete physical examination. A fecal exam is normally
done to

assure that your kitten doesn't have worms. Prior to
vaccinations, your veterinarian should do a blood test to be
sure the kitten is not already infected with Feline Leukemia.
The vet may also test for Feline Infectious Peritonitis. These
tests are quick, and your veterinarian will have preliminary
results in minutes.
If your kitten is not already infected with 1 of these diseases,
the vet will give your kitten his first Feline Leukemia and FIP
vaccines, assuming if he is at risk for these diseases. An only
cat who never leaves home may not need these vaccines, in which
case your veterinarian may recommend against giving them.

Whether he leaves the house or not, your kitten should receive
his first FVRCPC vaccine. This combination vaccine protects
kittens from rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia and
chlamydia.
Follow-Up Vaccines And Worming
Within 2 to 4 weeks your kitten should visit the veterinarian
again, at the age of 8 to 12 weeks. This time he will get a
second round of shots for FVRCPC, Feline Leukemia, and FIP. If
your kitten was wormed during his first visit, the vet will give
him his second worming. If your kitten is at least 12 weeks old
and spends time outdoors, he should also receive his first
Rabies vaccine.

Your kitten's third visit to the veterinarian takes place when
he is 10 to 16 weeks old, when he will receive his third FVRCPC
vaccine. Kittens who were too young for their first Rabies
vaccine on their previous visit will receive it at this time.
The First Birthday Visit
After completing his third set of FVRCPC vaccines, your kitten
will not need any more injections until he is 1 year old. At
that time he will need Rabies and FVRCPC booster shots. If the
Rabies shot is given to your cat within 1 year of his first
Rabies vaccine, it will be good for 3 years. Your cat will need
to return each year, however, for the

FVRCPC vaccine. When your
cat is 1 year of age, he will also receive boosters for FIP and
Feline Leukemia if he received these vaccines as a kitten.
Rare Side Effects
Most of the time vaccines are quite safe, yet occasionally side
effects can occur. Vaccines for Feline Leukemia can sometimes
cause a form of cancer at the site of the injection. For this
reason veterinarians usually do not recommend the vaccine for
cats who are not at risk. A tumor can sometimes occur at the
site of other vaccinations, as well. This type of tumor can
often be removed before it spreads. Should you notice a lump
developing at the injection site,

call your veterinarian without
delay. These lumps usually are a simple allergic reaction to the
injection, but a lump can develop into a tumor, which, if caught
early, can be successfully removed.
The risk of catching a disease without vaccinations is much
higher than the risk of side effects. Just as with humans, shots
are an unpleasant, but necessary part of growing up healthy.
