Too late to send my new 4 month old male kitten for his first shots? Will he hate me for neutering h

I'm adopting a 4 month old male kitten this week from a couple who is kind enough to give strays temporary shelter. There's not been any vet care yet. I heard I've to get FELV/FIV tests, rabbies shots, 3 rounds of vaccinations plus getting him neutered. Am I too late coz I hear shots should be done when he is a few weeks old. Will he hate me (new care-giver) for doing all these to him? I know he'll be hurting.

It is not too late to do the shots. Get them.



Your kitty will not even know what happened when he gets neutered. It is so quick for a male. He may act funny for a day or so, but he will go back to his regular self soon.



I am glad to hear you are such a responsible cat owner!

the cat will forget all about it
No, it's not too late. Even if it were, better late than never. He'll love you for feeding and petting him. He won't blame you for the visits to the vet. Four months isn't even old for a kitten.
Its never too late! In fact kittens do not receive a rabies vaccine until they are 4 months! Check out this link, it gives you an explanation of the vaccines and when to get them. Because he has passed 13 weeks, he'll get an FVRCP vaccine and then a booster in 2-4 weeks, rather than the series of 3 shots. The same will go for the FELV vaccine, a vaccine and then a booster in 2-4 weeks, as long as the FELV/FIV test is negative.



If you plan to keep your kitty inside, which I hope you do, you may opt not to get the FELV, you can speak with your vet about this.



Have fun with your new little guy, good luck!

Oh, and kitty won't be upset with you, they don't even remember really. Just don't bother him too much when he first gets home from being neutered, as he'll be a little cranky.
i have been in the same situation but all he dose really need is to start of with his injections which he has 2 off 1 will be given first and then 2 weeks later youll go back for his 2nd and than that will be him fully covered and all youll have to then is go back once every few years to get boosters (the vets you register him with will send you a little post card to remind you of when he needs to go for them)



neutering him dose not really need to be done but is a good option if you have meny cats wondering around your back/front garden often as when the male cat sees this other cat from inside your house he will 'spray' at the window to try to get rid of the other cat.



no, he wont hate you for this cats are very forgiveing and he will be glad to get home when comeing back from the vets, he may scratch you when you give him some pain killing tablets which the vets may give you, if they dont, dont worry they hae peobly all ready dosed him right up with them.



hope this helps
no they forget in couple of hours,
To echo, it is a myth that their personality changes. Your cat won't be anything but annoyed at you for a little while.
