Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Testing Kittens are generally vaccinated against FeLV around 8 to 9 weeks of age. A booster vaccination is given 3 to 4 weeks later, according to the vaccine label, followed by boosters each year as long as the risk for exposure remains. Similarly, vaccination against FIV can begin when kittens are around 8 weeks of age. Two additional boosters are given 2 to 3 weeks apart, followed by boosters each year as long as the risk for exposure remains. Cats that go outside are at greater risk for exposure to FeLV and FIV compared with cats that stay indoors.

- When infections with feline leukemia virus (FeLV) were more common, infections with FeLV and FIPV were often seen together because FeLV suppressed the immune system. Now that FeLV is less common only 5% of cats with FIP are also infected with FeLV. We rarely see FIP in cats between 3 and 10 years of age.

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE FOR THE PHILIPPINES A. Male cats will be able to sire kittens when they are about 5 months of age. They should not be used for breeding, however, until they are 18 months of age. Female cats generally are sexually mature when they reach at least 80% of their adult weight. The timing of heat in a female cat is also dependent on the amount of daylight. Thus a female cat may have her first estrus anytime between 5 and 12 months of age. Feral (free-roaming) cats may reach sexual maturity earlier than indoor cats. Although a female cat is sexually mature when she is less than one year of age, she should not be bred until she is 18-24 months of age.

How old should a kitten be before being spayed or neutered? Every vet I worked for and the vets we use now, recommend kittens to be at least 5/6 months old for either sex, the males preferably 6 months although you need to go by how mature they are by the size of their testicles. One of our present cats was ready at 5 months, but the other was 7 months before it was his turn.

What to Expect When Your Cat Is Pregnant So, a cat can have kittens when she’s only 6 months old. The best way to find out is to make an appointment with your vet. He can confirm that kittens are on the way, and get an idea of how many, by feeling a cat's belly early on, doing an ultrasound in mid pregnancy, or doing an X-ray in late pregnancy. There are a few clues that you may notice, too. Her belly will get big around 30 days after she mates.

- In some kittens, parental immunity is low enough that by 8-12 weeks the vaccinations can work. In others, parental immunity interferes with the action of the vaccine for up to 18 weeks. The tests that determine parental immunity levels in kittens are expensive and rarely run.

- A minimum of two vaccinations should be given at a 3-4 week interval, with the last vaccine in the series being given at age 16 weeks of age or later. Revaccination should occur one year after the last booster and then as recommended by the local veterinarian.he reasoning behind this: we do not know in an individual kitten how long the maternal antibody levels persist and may interfere with the kitten's response to the vaccine. In many kittens the maternal antibody is still present at 12 weeks of age so there may be inadequate response to the vaccine at that age.
