Vaccines for my feisty 4-month-old indoor kitten before spaying?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 21 days old

My kitten is four months old and is an indoor kitten. What kind of vaccines would she need? How often should she get vaccinated? How many vaccines can she have in one day? I want her to have everything before she gets spayed. Any advice for a warrior kitten like her that like to put up a fight?

If she is a warrior kitten, then Artemis is great name for her! Feline core vaccines include FVRCP (feline distemper combo) and a rabies vaccine. At four months of age, she will need two rounds of each vaccine given four weeks apart. You should do the FVRCP vaccine first, then two weeks later the rabies vaccine. The second FVRCP vaccine should be done four weeks after the first one, and the same goes for the rabies vaccine. It's not recommended to give the FVRCP and rabies together at the same time. Have plenty of toys for her to play with, and get interactive toys so you can play with her. I hope this helps!
