Below are redacted snapshots from their veterinary visits (personal details removed). Full medical paperwork and other medical paperwork (i.e., health certificates) will be provided to adopters directly.
These images show only non-sensitive portions of the records.
Kittens receive a core vaccine called FVRCP, which protects against three major feline viruses: rhinotracheitis , calicivirus , and panleukopenia . Because their immune system is still developing, the vaccine needs to be given as a series of three shots to fully protect them.
After completing all three shots, kittens usually receive an annual booster as adults. Our kittens have already started the FVRCP series, and your vet will help you finish any remaining doses on schedule.
The medical documents will tell you exactly which shots your kitten has already received and which ones are still due so you can share that info with your vet.
Kittens also receive a separate rabies vaccine, usually around 12–16 weeks of age (often at the same visit as the 3rd FVRCP booster). This vaccine is required by law in Massachusetts and most other states, and your vet will give it once the kitten is old enough. Most cat sitters, pet hotels, and groomers may also require a current rabies certificate before accepting a cat.
It’s important to know that vaccines are not magical amulets that stop viruses entirely. Like us, animals naturally co-exist with germs and viruses in their environment. The vaccine doesn’t prevent exposure — it prevents serious illness.
This is also why mild issues like conjunctivitis or small upper-respiratory symptoms can still happen in kittens, even with great care and proper vaccination. These infections are extremely common and not 100% avoidable. Most of the time, the kitten’s own immune system kicks in and the symptoms clear up with rest and supportive care.
What the vaccine does is teach their immune system how to respond quickly, so if they do get exposed to these common viruses, the symptoms stay much milder, shorter, and far less dangerous than they would be without vaccination.
This is why the full 3-shot series matters: each dose strengthens that immune response until it’s mature enough to offer reliable protection.
