Yes, this is normal reaction to the vaccinations.
Adverse reactions usually happened very shortly after the shot is administered. Still keep an eye on her and if she appears to be in any distress, such as difficulty breathing, diarrhea or vomiting, call the vet for the emergency on-call. Her appetite should return in 24 hours.
I know you feel for your little furbaby. Have her food and water available. Give her lots of snuggle time.
Purrs to you and kitten.

I have a kitten too. (well she is a year old now). Firstly, make sure the kitten feels safe, give it its own 'room' with its food, water and litterbox ..put the litter box on the opposite side of the food as cats are very picky and very clean animals. put some of the kittys toys in there as well...it is like its "safe haven".
As for her being lethargic, I would keep an eye on her tonite, give her lots of love and make her comfortable, play with her if she wants etc, if she is not better when you wake up in the morning I would call the vet. Also, is she seems to get worse tonite call your vet emergency line and ask them, that is what they are there for. Good Luck!

Yes, this is a normal reaction but do keep an eye on her. I had one cat that would be lethargic for 48-72 hours. I have also checked websites and information about shots and not all of them are necessary. Like rabies or feline leukemia I find unnecessary considering my cats are indoor cats. Feline leukemia causes cancer, so, just get what is needed, maybe upper respiratory.

it is a common reaction, but I would enourage her to drink water. put your finger into cool water and let her lick it off your finger. do this as many times as she will keep licking it. don't worry about the food. if she isn't better in 24 hours after the vaccination, I'd call the vet

Some soreness and lethargy is normal after vaccinations, but if she won't eat at all, you need to contact your vet.
