The shot schedule
- 6–8 weeks
- First FVRCP — the combination shot covering the respiratory viruses and panleukopenia that hit kittens hardest.
- 10–12 weeks
- Second FVRCP booster. Kittens who will go outdoors, or live with outdoor cats, start the feline leukemia (FeLV) series.
- 14–16 weeks
- Final FVRCP booster, rabies as required by law, and the FeLV booster where it is part of the plan.
- One year
- Adult boosters and a full exam — the visit that moves your cat onto the adult schedule.
Testing & parasite control
- FeLV/FIV test
- A quick blood test, usually at the first visit — essential before a new kitten meets the cats already in your home.
- Deworming
- Kittens are dewormed on a repeating schedule through the first months. Roundworms and hookworms are common, and both can spread to people.
- Flea control
- Oklahoma fleas do not take the winter off. We dose by weight — and never use a dog flea product on a cat; some are lethal to cats.
Spay & neuter timing
- Around 5–6 months
- For most kittens we recommend spaying or neutering at about five to six months — before the first heat, and before spraying behavior sets in.
- Why not wait
- Spaying before the first heat sharply lowers mammary cancer risk later in life. Neutering prevents roaming, fighting, and the litters nobody planned.
- The day itself
- Morning drop-off, a pre-op lab check, and home the same day with written recovery instructions. Questions before or after: call (918) 486-8387.
