kitten vaccination schedule quick answer

kitten vaccination schedule is available through Vetlyf for pet parents in Gurugram and Delhi NCR. A kitten's core course is 4 visits: her first FVRCP dose with deworming at 6-8 weeks, a second FVRCP with FeLV at 10-12 weeks, a third FVRCP with rabies at 14-16 weeks, then a booster review at 1 year. The gaps between them are the point — the immunity she borrowed from her mother fades on its own timetable, so the course repeats until a dose lands after it has gone. Below is that schedule visit by visit, what each vaccine is actually for, and what to do with a kitten who is not covered yet.

• What is the kitten vaccination schedule? A kitten's core course runs over 4 visits: FVRCP and deworming at 6-8 weeks, a second FVRCP with FeLV at 10-12 weeks, a third FVRCP with rabies at 14-16 weeks, then an annual booster review at 1 year. Your vet confirms each date at the visit before, because her age and health can shift it.
• What does the FVRCP vaccine protect a kitten against? FVRCP covers feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia — infections that move fast wherever cats live in groups. It is the backbone of the kitten course, given at 6-8 weeks, 10-12 weeks and 14-16 weeks. FeLV and rabies sit alongside it at the later visits rather than replacing any of those doses.
• Why does a kitten need three FVRCP doses? Because the antibodies she took from her mother block a vaccine while they last, and they fade at a different point in every kitten. Repeating FVRCP at 6-8 weeks, 10-12 weeks and 14-16 weeks means a dose lands after that borrowed protection has gone. The doses are not top-ups of each other — they are attempts at the right moment.
• When does a kitten get the rabies vaccine? Rabies is given at 14-16 weeks on Vetlyf's kitten course, alongside the third FVRCP dose. It stays on the schedule whether or not your cat goes outside — it is not the vaccine to drop on lifestyle grounds. The record issued afterwards is what boarding, grooming and travel paperwork usually ask to see.
• What is the FeLV vaccine and why is it in the kitten course? FeLV is the feline leukaemia vaccine, given at 10-12 weeks with the second FVRCP dose. Feline leukaemia spreads cat to cat through grooming, shared bowls and bites, so any kitten who will ever meet another cat is the reason it is core rather than optional. Continuing it later depends on her lifestyle.
• Does an indoor-only kitten still need vaccinating? Yes. Indoor is not sterile — infection arrives on shoes and hands, doors and windows get left open, and a kitten who has never been outside still needs a current record for boarding, grooming or an emergency admission. Living indoors changes what your vet recommends after the course, not whether the course happens.
• My kitten missed a dose — do we start the course again? Not necessarily, and it is not a call to make at home. Tell the vet how late she is and exactly what she has already had; whether the course continues or part of it restarts depends on the gap and her age. Book the missed visit rather than waiting for the next one.
• I adopted a kitten with no vaccination record. What now? Book a first visit and say the history is unknown. The vet examines her, treats her as unprotected, and starts the course from where she actually is instead of from a date on paper. Bring whatever the shelter, breeder or previous owner gave you — even a handwritten note narrows it down.
• When can my kitten safely meet other cats? Once the course is complete and your vet says she is covered — not before. Until then keep her away from cats whose vaccination status you cannot verify, including a resident cat who is overdue, and do not let them share litter trays, bowls or bedding. Ask the vet before introducing them.
• Is deworming the same as vaccination? No. Deworming treats parasites she may already be carrying, while vaccination prepares her immune system for viruses she has not met. They are scheduled together at 6-8 weeks for convenience, not because they do the same job, and deworming then continues on its own protocol that your vet sets for her.
• What is normal after a kitten's vaccination? A quiet evening, some tenderness where the injection went and a smaller appetite than usual are the common ones, and they settle on their own. Call the clinic if she is still off her food a day later, keeps vomiting, or the injection site stays swollen. Ask what to watch for before the vet leaves.
• Can the whole kitten course be done at home? Yes — a vet can carry out kitten vaccination at home across Delhi NCR, which is how cat owners avoid the carrier fight that makes visits get postponed. The at-home first vaccination for a newly adopted puppy or kitten starts at Rs. 999, and at-home cat annual vaccination starts at Rs. 1,299.
• What happens at the one-year visit? The 1 year appointment is a booster review, not an automatic repeat of the whole kitten course. The vet weighs what she received, how she lives now and what is genuinely due, then sets the next date on her record. Bring her vaccination card, or her digital record if the visits happened at home.
