What happens

First visit: exam, a leukemia and FIV test, the first FVRCP vaccine, deworming.
Second and third visits: boosters, the feline leukemia vaccine, rabies at 16 weeks.
Kwame shows you how to leave the carrier out at home so it stops meaning 'vet'.

Questions

Does an indoor kitten need all of this?

Yes, for the kitten series. Indoor cats still meet viruses through people, screens and new pets. After the series we fit the plan to how your cat lives.

When should my kitten be spayed or neutered?

Usually around 5 to 6 months. We talk about timing at the third visit.
