Confused about Kittens injections.

[bbyvegan]

Hi everyone, I'm due to get my first kitten on the 2nd of November, she'll be 9 weeks. I'm confused about her injections, some websites say she'll only need some at 9 weeks, other say she'll need boosters at about 12 weeks and then some say she'll need injections every 12 months ? Also does anyone know the price of these injections just out of general curiosity ? For context she will be an indoor cat, thanks in advance x

They need two initially - usually the first when they weigh about a kilo (approx 8-10 weeks of age) and the 2nd 3-4 weeks after that. That completes the initial kitten course of vaccinations. Then they need a booster annually thereafter same time every year (within about a 6-10 weeks window is fine).

Depending on where you are getting her from (breeder, rescue or just a random person who let their cat breed...) the 1st vaccination may have been done before you buy/adopt her but you will be told about that if applicable.

Mine had 2 sets of injections when very small (8 weeks and a few weeks after) and get annual boosters

The first majority of cat vaccines are licensed for first injection from 9 weeks of age then the second 3-5weeks later. A full vaccination 12 months later is important in completing the primary vaccination course. Then there are various protocols for reduced schedules, but so parts need to be given every year.
All cats should be vaccinated for Flu ( calici and herpes viruses) panleucopaenia ( diarrhoea virus similar to parvo in dogs) as these can be carried on people's clothes. If cats go outside the should be vaccinated against the leukaemia virus which passed on in body fluids so risks come through fighting and intercourse. There is a very tiny risk with mutual grooming, but that is minimal.

I have spent £103 at the vet so far for my kitten - that’s two rounds of kitten vaccinations and some treatment for an eye infection.

She is booked into to be spayed next week -probably another £60 or so?

I pay £10per month to the vet for flea and worm treatment, booster injections and two check ups per year.

She is an expensive little monster!
