vaccine, the test for leukemia will be positive. Although
a vaccine is available for FeLV, many breeders and veterinarians
do not approve use of this vaccine for indoor-only cats.
-
16 weeks: Rabies shot.
Mandatory in many states.
-
Three to Six Months:
Neutering. It is essential for your cat's health and
well-being that he or she be spayed or neutered, preferably
before achieving sexual maturity.

Booster shot (FVRCP or other, as your vet
recommends)

Physical examination-- usually done at
time of Booster shots

Practitioners is that cats ten years old and older have
probably acquired immunity, and no longer need booster
shots. Annual titer testing is recommended for seniors,
instead.

years as above
