Here I am trying to plan ahead of time and get informed.
Niko & Kiki are over 8wks now and I'm just trying to get as much information on everything they need to get tested for and vaccinations. Also about how much are these test + vaccines.

I want to get them test for everything they need to be tested for. If you could help me making the list and telling me how old they need to be for these vaccinations and what the vaccinations are for.

Thanks for any help!

The loving 1st time mommy who's still learning :wub

Hmmm let me think... I know for Fuzzles she got 3 different things. One was rabies that I know and I forget what the other 2 are called. I'm pretty sure 2 of them were a series of shots so we had to go back 3 times to get them all done. Your vet should tell you what you need to do but there shouldn't be a ton they need to get. I would say to do stool check (I think you need bring in a sample of their poop) and check their ears. Fuzzles had earmites and we had to give her different eardrops because they were so dirty and we had to clean her ears and get rid of the mites. I'm not sure what else was done I have to think and get back to you. :)

tested for feline luekemia and the shot for it if it's negative and distemper along with rabies.

mine only get the rabies now. only because it's law. mine are indoor cats so they arent exposed to what cause the other 2 diseases.

Ah the leukemia was one of the ones I got thank you!

Here's a listing of the vaccines I found on the Internet (I couldn't remember what my cats get but they are old, I think it's different for kittens, like they get a series of shots).

Also the Clay County Humane Society vet is pretty cheap. They are off of Blanding and I took my animals there for years before we moved over by the beaches.



The following vaccines are currently available:

Feline Panleukopenia Virus Vaccine: Feline panleukopenia (also called feline distemper) is a highly contagious and deadly viral disease of cats. Feline panleukopenia virus is extremely hardy, is able to survive extremes of temperature and humidity for many months, and is resistant to most available disinfectants. Until recent years, panleukopenia was the most serious infectious disease of cats, claiming the lives of thousands every year. Thanks to the highly effective vaccines currently available, panleukopenia is now considered to be an uncommon disease. However, because of the serious nature of the disease and the continued presence of virus in the environment, vaccination is highly recommended for all cats.

Feline Calicivirus/Herpesvirus Vaccine: Feline calicivirus and feline herpes virus type I are responsible for 80-90% of infectious feline upper respiratory tract diseases. Most cats are exposed to either or both of these viruses at some time in their lives. Once infected, many cats never completely rid themselves of virus. These "carrier" cats either continuously or intermittently shed the organisms for long periods of time -- perhaps for life -- and serve as a major source of infection to other cats. The currently available vaccines will minimize the severity of upper respiratory infections, although none will prevent disease in all situations. Vaccination is highly recommended for all cats.

Rabies Virus Vaccine: Rabies is an increasing threat to cats. At the present time, the number of reported feline rabies cases in the United States far exceeds that of all other domestic animals. Rabies in cats is also a major public health concern. Because of the routinely fatal outcome of infection in cats, and the potential for human exposure, rabies vaccination is highly recommended for all cats; it is required by law in most areas of the country.

Feline Leukemia Virus Vaccine: Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is the leading viral killer of cats. The virus is spread from cat-to-cat through bite wounds, through casual contact with infected cats, and from an infected mother cat to her kittens. The individuals most at risk of infection are outdoor cats, indoor/outdoor cats, and cats exposed to such individuals. Cats living in households with FeLV-infected cats or with cats of unknown infection status are also at risk. Indoor-only cats with no exposure to potentially infected cats are extremely unlikely to become infected. FeLV vaccines are recommended for all cats at risk of exposure to the virus.

Chlamydia, Feline Infectious Peritonitis, and Ringworm Vaccines: Vaccines are available for each of these disease-causing organisms, but their use is not routinely recommended for all cats. Your veterinarian will help guide you in deciding whether your cat should receive any of these vaccines.

Well they gave me a sheet with some things they need to get done and prices. Could you girls tell me if these seems right and reasonable price?

Examination $39
FVRCP Vaccine (I believe this are the respiratory vaccines) #1 $19.90
Meical waste disposal fee $4.20
FeLV/FIV (Feline Leukemia and Feline type of AID) testing $48.06
Pyrantel Administration $16.09

That's for each kitten. Also they need rabies shot which will be $24 but we have to wait till they are 16 weeks.

Those prices sound about right. the FeLV is the most expensive. I did my cats as kittens and then never again, just because they arent exposed to other cats to pick it up.

Wow shoot I wish I could find my receipts for my vet. I don't really remember the prices but I think mine were a bit cheaper than that. I know the first time I went was the most expensive but I also had to buy the eardrops and stuff. The last time I went was a check-up for her ears and stuff and it was less than $20. :dunno

:yes I got only some of the vaccines (I had to get the rabies) since she is a complete indoor cat except the few times I carry her outside for some sunshine.

Yeah these two kittens will be totally indoor cats too.

talk to your vet about it. i know ours told me that they only really need to get the rabies because they are strictly indoor.

Just know this...If you are adopted by a cat you should get the felv test...And just because it comes up negitive one time, its always good to get them retested...Its a dormat disease...

That's why I got it done to my kitty. I didn't know where she came from since she found me so I got it done just incase. :)

Since I rescued them from my back yard I don't really know their mom's history :dunno I think that's why I want to get everything that's out there lol

Thats how they get the hiv things, mostly its from the mother, but it is a vertical and horizontal disease...
