Is my kitten too small for shots?

Generally vaccines are started at 8 weeks. This would be a great question for the vet - it's generally considered a health and age issue, rather than a weight issue. Depending on risk (exposure to other animals, indoor or outdoor) the vet may decide to wait a bit.

Vaccines are started at 8 weeks old (doesn't really matter the weight), then at 12, then at 16 weeks. But she should weigh a good 2 lbs, so the vet may hold off a few weeks.

Spaying should be done by 4 months old. You need to talk with your vet on when is the best time to start shots.

Your kitten doesn't need shots at this moment in time. If you found her abandoned then your kitten MUST HAVE these things done BEFORE you spend money on shots:

1. The kitten needs to have a complete vet check and an age established.

2. The kitten needs to be blood tested for FIV and FeLV. You can keep it indoors only and as an ONLY cat and keep it living in a stress free environment with consistent vet care (at minimum annual check ups) if it tests positive for FIV. It needs to be humanely euthanized if it tests positive for FeLV because that is fatal. Rather pointless to spend the money on vaccinations if the kitten has FeLV.

3. The vet needs to deworm the kitten.

4. The kitten needs a kitten dosage of Advantage for fleas.

Once those items are taken care then you start worrying about shots and having it spayed (between 4th and 5th month) and don't wait to have it done.

Only tells you that you can start. "When the kitten is around six to eight weeks of age, your veterinarian can begin to administer a series of vaccines at three- or four-week intervals until the kitten reaches 16 weeks of age."

Couldn't find any weight requirements. Sorry.
