Kittens less than four months old are susceptible to feline leukemia, but healthy older cats are resistant to infection. Of all cats that die of cancer, about one-third will die of leukemia-caused tumors.
The vaccination schedule for feline rhinotracheitis, feline calicivirus, and feline panleukopenia can begin as early as six weeks of age. Kittens are vaccinated once every three to four weeks until they reach 16 weeks of age or older. Rabies is the other core kitten vaccination. Rabies is a fatal disease that can affect not only cats but many other animals, including humans. Your kitten can receive a rabies vaccination as early as eight or twelve weeks of age, depending on the rabies vaccination being administered. Some rabies vaccines can be administered at eight weeks of age; others cannot be given until twelve weeks.
