When the cats are kittens, they should be fed with Colostrum* in the first 36-48 hours, because it transfers the immunity against diseases from mother to offspring. Anyway this immunity doesn't lasts for life time. So, cats should be vaccinated with the vaccine of Feline Panleucopenia, Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Feline Leukemia, Feline Infectious Peritonitis and Rabies as Scheduled to keep them healthy.
Vaccination Schedule for Cats:
AGE VACCINE
7 Weeks: -> Combined Vaccine*
10 Weeks: -> Combined Vaccine, Feline Leukemia,(In Case of Risk)
12 Weeks: -> Rabies
13 Weeks: -> Combined Vaccine, Feline Leukemia (In Case of Risk)
16 and 19 Weeks: -> Feline Infectious Peritonitis (In Case of Risk)
Adult: -> Combined Vaccine, Feline Infectious Peritonitis, Feline Leukemia, Rabies
* Combined Vaccine of Feline Panleucopenia and Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis
The mother and her babies should be vaccinated one at a time. And the schedule can be rearranged according to the health of your cat or the situation of the diseases as analyzed by the veterinarian.
Things to do along a Vaccination:
The thing which should be done along with Vaccination is Parasitic-Worm Excretion.
- For Kittens, you can do parasitic-worm excretion when they are 3 weeks old and repeat in the 5th, 7th, 9th week.
- For adults, you can do every 3-6 months.
- Do it once you've adopted a new cat and repeat in the 2nd week, then do it every 3-6 months. And they'll be fine.
This is the reference program from American Association of Veterinarian Parasitologist (AAVP) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It can be adjusted by Veterinarian.
Colostrum: The First Milk, produced from the udder of a Mother, in the first 24-36 hours; after giving birth to young one.

This schedule is recommended by
- American Veterinary Medicine Association (AVMA)
