Nancy should be dewormed about every 6 months. Another option is to use a product such as Revolution which will protect her against fleas and has activity against intestinal worms (although it will not be as effective if she is coming in contact with large amounts). Kittens start vaccines between 7-8 weeks of age and get vaccines every 3 weeks until they are 16weeks old. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
