What age and weight should a kitten have it's first shots?? My kitten is under 1 pound but is almost 6 weeks old. I got him at the shelter a week and a half ago and he had coccidiosis (which he is being treated for). Since then, he is eating well and gaining a lot of weight, but still pretty tiny. Is there any rule of thumb on this?

I found the text in this book spot on, but the illustrations aren't helpful at all. Good over all book

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

This scoop was a freebie with some clumping litter I bought last year, and I like it so much that I've bought a second one. It's perfect for fine clumping litter, which it sifts very thoroughly....

As a general rule, kittens normally begin their vaccinations for Rhinotraceitis, Calici and Panleukopenia at 6 weeks old, with the second shot at 9 weeks and the third at 12 weeks. Some breeders wait a little longer, some shorter - depends on individuals and circumstances.
Do you vaccinate yourself or do you allow the vet to administer? If you go to the vet for shots, then it is probably best to let him advise you.

I know my Raggie kitten was first Vaccinated at 9 weeks. Some are even as young as 7 weeks. Why don't you call your Vet and asked his opinion.

I was under the impression (mistakenly?) that they should be 1-1/2 pounds at least. The vet just says 6 weeks. I trust this vet so I guess there shouldn't be any problem! Thanks all!
