Typically do kittens need some injections and other treatments to become germ free ??

Question

I got a kitten from somewhere , I dont think the kitten had any medical treatment. I was wondering do kittens need some injections or other treatments , and do these treatments make them 'clean' and germ free so they can be hugged and kissed??

What treatment typically a kitten should get ???
( Yes I am going to the vet in a few days but i just wanted to get some opinions here )

Answer 1

You're talking about vaccinations. These do not make a cat 'germ-free' - they protect against certain diseases, typically cat 'flu, feline enteritis and feline leukaemia, and rabies depending on what country/area you're from.

You can't really catch any diseases from your cat - the only possible ones are ringworm (a fungal infection of the skin), worms (if you aren't clean when clearing up their litter tray) and - that's about it really. Oh, and rabies but you'd notice if the cat had that! Cats are clean animals, you're not going to catch anything from cuddling and kissing a kitten.

You also need to get flea and worm treatment from the vet while you're there, and ask them about neutering as this is important for the cat's health. Done from around 5 months of age.

There is nothing you can give kittens to be germ free. The Vet will give the kittens shots for certain feline diseases. You can hug and kiss your kittens. All cats clean themselves. I hug and kiss my 12 year old Smokeybear (female cat) all the time. Shes part of the family.

there r no shots u can give cats to make them clean. they lick themselves and that usually does the trick! lol. also you might not want to let it outside until u go 2 the vet because they could get ticks which could hurt them at such a young stage.
