KITTEN VACCINATIONS
| Vaccinations are a very important part of your kitten's health care. All kittens should receive their first vaccination at 6 to 8 weeks of age and continue with booster vaccinations every 3 to 4 weeks until 4 months of age. Vaccinating early will offer your kitten the best protection available against deadly diseases such as Distemper and Feline Leukemia. |
