cats vaccinations

[pingu97]

Hi i have a 16 week old kitten that was bought as i gift for me, he doesn't go outside yet and hasn't had any vaccinations. i cant afford to get them done until the beginning of October, does anyone know if that will be ok and if he'll be ok till then with him not going outside yet?

I would suggest keeping him in until he has had his vaccinations. Are you planning to get him neutered too? This can usually be done from around 5 months old.

congrats on your kitten; i have two cats and i kept mine inside also till they got their shots; my friends' a vet and he told me 6mos. it worked out perfect too cause @ 6mos you should get them fixed also, not earlier.

He should be OK till October if he is kept inside but, if you intend to have him put into a cattery they will not take him until he has had all his vaccinations.
I agree with bensmum, please have him neutured at the same time as he will be much more a home loving puss
(and not so smelly lol)
