due for shots?

Question

when is a kitten due for there first shots and about how much does it cost.

Answer 1

6-8 weeks are the first shots. Then the second 21-28 days after, and the third 21-28 days after that. Usually the rabies vaccine is given at the third shot appointment. It can cost $30-60 eash visit, depending on the vet. Sometimes there is a low cost shot clinic in some areas that offer the distemper combo vaccine. You can call the Humane Society near you and ask if they know of one.

Answer 2

usually 6 weeks of age is the best time to start the shots.... as far as the cost it depends where you go. sometimes you can call a local shelter and ask them if they know of any shot clinic you can take the kitty too. usually there is a huge price cut because you pay just for the shots and not an office visit.

Answer 3

This is completely how each vet works. But, usually, the average cost is 45.00 Check on the Internet, and look under your local area. Good luck.

Answer 4

kittens can get their vax at 6 weeks but i say wait till 8, this is usually when they are leaving their moms anyways. cost depends where you are and if you are going to let your cat outside in canada your looking at 50-100$ depending where you go.

Answer 6

If you got them from a breeder, they should have already been vaccinated or, if the breeder didn't do it, they are ready as soon as you get them. Take them in right away. Should be around $50 or less.
