Question

I would like to know when to get my kitten her shots and what shots to get her. Also I would like to know when I can get her fixed and how much it will cost.

Answer 1

it differes i dont know a exact price

Answer 2

AT two months she will need her first shots. She can be spayed at 2.5 months. I don't like to spay until they have had their shots.

At the same time she needs tested for feline leukemia and she needs to be dewormed.

You just need to keep her safe and away from other unknown animals until you get this all settled.

You don't say how old she is Hope she is at least 8 wks old.

Good luck with your little girl.

Answer 4

Here's all the stuff you need to know to keep your kitten healthy:

--get her fixed when she is 6 months old. never before because there reproduction system is not fully formed. Usually costs around 500-600 dollars without insurance.

--get her shots as soon as possible.  the shots include, lekumia, rabies, and booster.

--Ger her nails trimmed about once every month to ensure her claw duznt get stuck on something.  you never wana experience a cat in pain!

--brush her as many times as you can.  (most when she is sleeping)

--get her groomed about once every year (bath, hair trim, ect.)

--give her science diet dry food and kittens love friskies wet food but it is not that healthy so i advise using science diet dry food that comes in 3 flavors

--buy her ALOT of toys, here are some toys that my cat LOVESS and you dont even have to buy them.:

*a grocery bag

*a paper bag

*that thing you have to pull off the cap on a milk carton

*a toy mouse

*a string

*a spoon

*a mcdonalds straw

HOPE THAT ALL HELPED! GOOD LUCK!

Answer 5

YOUR VET WOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A SCHEDULE FOR SHOTS..

FAIR WARNING !!  THE FIRST TWO VISITS WILL COST YOU. BUT YOU WILL KNOW HOW THE HEALTH OF YOUR KITTENS AND THE APPROXIMATETE AGE.

BEST OF LUCK !!!

Answer 6

Schedule a Vet appointment.  They are not that expensive.  But they are all different.  Talk to your Vet about all of your questions.  They have great advice as to what food to feed, how to keep them healthy, and other things.  Your Vet will then help you set up a shots schedule and information about spaying/neutering.  

A word of advice:  write everything down.  Bring your list to the Vet so you know all of your questions have been answered.

I just got a new kitten and this was very helpful advice that I had received from a friend and fellow cat owner.

Answer 7

Every one's answers seem pretty good, one thing I see, DON'T EVER DON'T EVER Give anything plastic i.e. grocery plastic bags, some cats like to chew on them and if any breaks off and swallowed  and gets stuck in their system it can be a disaster!!

Try to feed her high protein food, limit dry if at all, make sure if you can the main few ingredients are main muscle first in the ingredients and any grains or corn are 3-4 down the list.. cats need protein!! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW KITTY..

Answer 8

Take your kitten to  the vet now to make sure that it is in good health right from the start. The vet is best one to tell you about shots and proper diet. . Any time after 3 months for fixing.
