Preventative Care for Kittens
From the moment they begin nursing, kittens receive both nourishment and the building blocks of a strong immune system. During this time, however, they’re susceptible to a range of diseases and infections. Vaccines help us ensure that every kitten we treat gets the benefit of a strong and effective immune system. But to be effective, vaccines must be administered according to a schedule.
Starting at 6 weeks of age, kittens should receive a series of immunizations administered over a 12- to 15-week period.
