Vaccination

Maine Coon kittens have the same core vaccination requirements as other domestic cats. Here are the recommended vaccinations for Maine Coon kittens:

  1. Kitten Vaccination Schedule:
  • 6-8 weeks: First dose of the feline distemper (panleukopenia) vaccine, feline herpesvirus, and feline calicivirus (FVRCP) vaccine.
  • 10-12 weeks: Second dose of the FVRCP vaccine.
  • 14-16 weeks: Third dose of the FVRCP vaccine.
  • 1 year: First annual booster of the FVRCP vaccine.
  1. Rabies Vaccine:
  • Maine Coon kittens should receive their first rabies vaccine between 12-16 weeks of age.
  • Subsequent rabies vaccines are typically given annually or every 1-3 years, depending on the vaccine type.
  1. Feline Leukemia Vaccine (FeLV):
  • The FeLV vaccine is generally recommended for kittens, especially if they will be spending time outdoors or interacting with other cats.
  • The initial FeLV vaccine series consists of two doses, 3-4 weeks apart, followed by annual boosters.
  1. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) Vaccine:
  • The FIV vaccine is not considered a core vaccine for all cats, but it may be recommended for Maine Coons that will be spending time outdoors or in high-risk environments.
  • The FIV vaccine requires an initial series of two doses, followed by annual boosters.

It’s important to work closely with your veterinarian to ensure your Maine Coon kitten receives the appropriate vaccinations at the recommended intervals. Proper vaccination is crucial for protecting your kitten’s health and preventing the spread of infectious diseases.

Remember, vaccination schedules may vary based on your kitten’s age, health status, and lifestyle, so always consult your veterinarian for personalized guidance.
