My kitten is now about 2 months (10 weeks)and he has not had any shots. I just moved to Charlotte NC and do not know of any good places to take him. Does anybody know any low cost veterenarians around that can give him his kitten shots. Am I too late? What shots does he need? Just rabies and distemper? I am getting him fixed in a few months at the humane society, but they wont take him without his shots. I just graduated college and dont have tons of extra money, but want to make sure he is taken care of. Anybody know of any place?? Let me know!

Hi There,

I was hoping to find a specific place for you to take your kitten, but all I found were low cost spay/neuter clinics. However, I do have some suggestions.

The humane society itself does not offer vaccines in Charlotte, but it wouldn't hurt to call and ask if they know of a low-cost vet. Vaccinations are very important for kittens, and your baby is slightly overdue. You can also call any rescue organizations in your area. Often rescues take their animals to lower-priced vets. Here, in California, low-cost vaccines can be gotten in some pet stores on weekends. This may be another possibility.

I highly recommend two sets of the distemper/upper respiratory vaccine, 3 or 4 weeks apart. Leukemia isn't needed if your kitten is indoors and Rabies may or may not be required in your area.

Take care, and please take your baby in for vaccines as soon as you can.

Regards,

Some low cost spay/neuter clinics give vaccines too. Call the ones in your area and find out. Ours gives them on certain days of the week. Or with the spay/neuter procedure.
