I don't want him to get freaked out by the vets as he is an indoor kitty and hasn't met too many new people since he came to live with us.

He may be freaked out a little being out of his environment, but within a few hours, he should be back to normal.
He'll get through his vaccinations with no problem too. The needle is very sharp, and they'll have almost no pain when the needle is given. He may be a little lethargic for the rest of the day, that's normal when vaccinations are given.
You'll be in the room with him, just pet him and talk calmly to him. The exam and vaccinations should take about 15 minutes. He'll probably have his temperature taken, that may freak him out a bit!

If your kitty is indoor as is not exposed to other cats, what is the reason for getting the vaccinations? I work for a holistic vet. Many times kittens/cats get sick after receiving vaccinations. In fact, we have removed several tumors at the site of vaccinations. Pet owners are just "programmed" to get these vaccinations. Not saying they should never be given...Please read up on vaccinations before you get them done. Try Shirley's Wellness Cafe online. Good luck!
Also, they have vets that will come to the house, that way you can eliminate the anxiety of bringing your kitty to the vet's office.

Just keep calm, pretend like it is normal. Put his favorite bed/blanket in his cat carrier for the ride to the vet, maybe along with some of his favorite toys. After the vaccinations, make sure he has plenty of peace and quiet to rest, because he will be tired and need a lot of sleep after his shots.

He'll be fine. May be a little freaked out, but he'll get over it. Be with him at all times at the vet, your presence will reassure him. Vaccinations aren't that big a deal, but I'd recommend you keep him warm afterwards and allow him peace and quiet if this is what he wants. He may be a little tired after the jabs and his big day out.

He will be nervous just because of all the animal smells in the vets office. Just try to hold him & comfort him. He will most likely be sleepy & lethargic a few days following the shots. Just listen to what the vet says regarding side effects.

just be happy and upbeat and not make to big a deal out of it -cats are intuitive, and will freak if they sense you are! It is not such a big deal! My cat is getting her 5 in one jab today - I am not worried, I'll hold her tight and talk to her, all will be fine

He may be a little scared to bogin with, but He'll get over it pretty soon. Just give him some nice food and a cuddle.
