My new kitten needs shots. How many boosters and what's the FeLV cost?

Hi! I'm getting a 9-10 week old kitten this week; he has had his combo vaccine at 8 weeks; does he only need one more booster for the combo (Panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis, calicivirus)? Also, does a kitten need a feline leukemia vaccination, and if so, how much does that typically cost?

Hi and thanks for your post on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Aldo will need 2 additional boosters of the combo vaccine (pankleuk,rhinotrach, calici). One at 12 weeks and the final at 16 weeks of age. Aldo will need the feline leukemia vaccine if he is going to be an outdoor cat or interact with cats with questionable or unknown vaccine histories. Typically cost for the feline leukemia vaccine does vary from clinic to clinic but in general is around $30.00. Thanks for your post and best to you and Aldo!
