How much do kitten vaccinations cost?

Kitten vaccinations cost $85 to $235 for the vaccine series, or $230 to $480 including exam fees at each visit. The FVRCP series (3 doses) costs $60–$135. Rabies costs $15–$35. Feline Leukemia (FeLV, 2 doses) costs $50–$90. Deworming adds $20–$75. Low-cost clinics charge $75–$150 for the full series.

Does pet insurance cover kitten vaccinations?

Standard pet insurance doesn't cover routine kitten vaccinations. Wellness add-on plans ($10–$20/month extra) may cover the kitten series. If you adopt from a shelter, the first round of vaccinations is typically already done and included in the adoption fee.

Does my indoor kitten need Feline Leukemia vaccine?

If your kitten will be strictly indoor-only, the FeLV vaccine is optional (non-core). However, many vets recommend the initial 2-dose kitten series regardless, because: 1) kittens' lifestyles can change, 2) indoor cats may escape, 3) if you later adopt another cat, having FeLV protection is important. Discuss with your vet.

When should I get my kitten spayed or neutered?

Most vets recommend spaying/neutering at 4–6 months. Many shelters do "early spay/neuter" at 8–12 weeks. See cat spay surgery cost and cat neuter surgery cost. Vaccinations can be completed before or continued alongside the spay/neuter schedule.
