Questions
When should my Persian start vaccinations?
Most Persian kittens start their first FVRCP between 6 and 8 weeks in the US, or 8 to 9 weeks in the UK and EU. Use the form above with your kitten's age and country to see the next-due date.
Why is brachycephalic relevant for my Persian?
Persians have a flat face, which can mean stronger reactions to anesthesia and slower recovery from upper-respiratory infections. Vaccines themselves are fine; mention the flat-faced anatomy to your vet for any future sedation.
Should my Persian get PKD screening?
Yes. Persians carry elevated risk for polycystic kidney disease. A one-time DNA test or kidney ultrasound before age one establishes the baseline. Vaccines are unaffected.
Does my Persian need outdoor non-core vaccines?
Persians are typically indoor companion cats. FeLV is recommended through the first-year booster regardless; after year one, indoor Persians can usually drop it.
Same schedule for a Persian mix?
Yes. FVRCP, and rabies where the law or travel requires it, are the same for purebreds and mixes. So is FeLV, which is core for kittens under one year (AAHA/AAFP); for adult cats it depends on lifestyle, not breed. The schedule above works for any Persian mix.
