Kitten Vaccinations in San Jose That Keep Your New Kitty Healthy
Kittens are tiny and fragile, and there are several nasty diseases that can kill them before they're even old enough to get fixed.
At Acacia Pet Clinic in San Jose, we make sure your kitten gets vaccinated on schedule so they're protected from feline distemper, upper respiratory viruses, and rabies.
Immunization Schedule
Kitten vaccinations start around 6-8 weeks old and continue every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks. This builds immunity as maternal antibodies fade.
6-8 Weeks: First FVRCP
Protection against distemper and respiratory viruses.
12-16 Weeks: Rabies & Final Boosters
Including Feline Leukemia for outdoor/at-risk cats.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Needs
All cats need core vaccines (FVRCP & Rabies) regardless of lifestyle. Viruses can come inside on shoes or through windows.
Recommended for Outdoor Cats:
Feline Leukemia (FeLV) vaccine is highly recommended for cats who go outside or live with FeLV+ cats.
Feline Foundation Vaccines
Feline Distemper
Prevents Panleukopenia, a deadly virus that attacks intestines and white blood cells.
Upper Respiratory
Protects against Herpesvirus and Calicivirus, preventing chronic sneezing and eye issues.
Rabies
100% fatal and spread by wildlife. Required by law even for indoor-only cats.
What to Expect After Your Kitten’s Vaccinations
Most kittens are just a little sleepy or sore for a day. Serious reactions are extremely rare, but we are fully prepared to handle any sensitivity.
Common
Mild lethargy, small lump

Vomiting, facial swelling
The Cost of Waiting
Panleukopenia kills kittens quickly and lives on surfaces for a year. A preventive vaccine is a simple, affordable way to save your kitten's life.
