A 3 month old kitten should get a feline distemper (FVRCP) vaccine. This should be repeated in 4 and 8 weeks. The FVRCP should be boosted yearly thereafter. She can also get a rabies vaccine at this age. It should be boosted yearly. If she is to be an outdoor cat, she should get a feline leukemia (FeLV) vaccine which needs to be repeatedly in 4 weeks and then yearly. A FeLV/FIV test and a fecal exam should also be done. Deworm her if indicated and repeat in 3 weeks.
