a friend of mine had a kitten hit by a car right infront of her and the people who hit it just left it for dead, fortunately she was there and took him home. she said hes okay though and is walking around and eating. he just has a scrapped up nose and paw. i want to take him in but i was wondering what are all the things that he needs right away. im assuming hes going to need a feline lukemia test and shots but i cant remember all the shots they need... so if anyone can remember id like a little list of things that this little guy would need...
p.s. he might be about 2 months maybe 3
thanks

This cat was sure lucky your friend was there.
The most important thing is a vet check up. He might have diseases that has to be treated before vaccination. He will probably also need to be treated for worms and fleas. Some de-wormers and treatments for fleas doesn't go together so let the vet guide you.
If you have other cats it is more important that their vaccinations is up to date in case he is carrying something. As long as he stay inside you have time to plan the vaccination with the vet.
Good luck with your new kitty.
