Core vaccines for cats are the FVRCP vaccine (rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia). This vaccine is started between 6-8 weeks and repeated every 3-4 weeks until the kitten is 16 weeks old (usually 3-4 shots total). Rabies vaccine is administered between 12-14 weeks. Vaccinating for FeLV is optional but recommended for cats that will be outside. This is commonly done around 12 weeks of age and repeated in 3-4 weeks. I also recommend deworming kittens at the time of each vaccine. Boosters of all vaccines are done again in 1 year.
