health...do i take her to the vet to get shots?

[Lindsey]

Absolutely. Vaccines are the best way to ensure the health of your new kitten. They are extremely safe and effective, and help in the preventative care of your new pet. You will probably need to take a couple of times to get booster shots (no, this is not a way to get more money out of you, there is a lot of scientific immunological reasons for boosters in young animals), and then just go back once a year for annual shots. Vaccines ensure your pet is protected against very harmful, potentially life-threatening diseases.

if she hasen't already had them then yes you want to take her when she is 8 weeks.

If your cat hasn't already received shots, it would be a good idea. I would also check into heart worm pills just to make sure.

Yes definitley all pets need some kind of vaccinations to sta healthy

[Big Biscuit]

Absolutely.

[penguo01]

Yes yes yes. It may not like having a shot but it needs one. If they don't get one they are mor vulnarable to sickness and disease. When they get sick it can be hard to tell and hard to take care of. So give your cat **puts up a thumb** today!!

Yes there are many dz, that can be avoided by routine vaccinations. Also, keep the cat inside and get her spayed @ about 6 months. There are all kinds of dangers outside that are just waiting for an unsuppervised kitten to get into. other dz, dogs, other wild animals, cars, people who would purposefully harm cats, other cats she can get into fights w/ not to mention getting into a plant that is pooisinous or stuck somewhere. You also need to make sure she has plenty of toys for emotional and intelectual growth/

Yes - Yes - Yes!!!please Do - It Wil Be The Best Thing For The Kitten And The Best For You As Well. You Are Dojng Such A Nice Thing By Giving The Kitten A Home - So, I Would Give It The Best That You Can.

Vaccines at 6-8 wks, 10-12 wks, and 14-16 wks, with a feline leukemia blood test done first, deworming and checking for ear mites and fleas, or a dose of Revolution, is also a good idea.
