You shouldn't have to take your kitten to the vets until the are between 8-10 weeks old. At that time, they should begin their vaccination schedule and the vet will do a quick check up to make sure all seems to be functioning as it should. Kittens will need to do 3 sets of vaccinations that will be given 3-4 weeks apart. Speak with your vet for his/her recommended vaccination schedule as well as which vaccinations are necessary in your region. For example, rabies are not a required vaccine in some areas and are not recommended when not needed. At 4 months you should get your kitten spayed/neutered. Spaying/neutering young is not dangerous to the kitten and will in fact be better for both you and your cat. Kittens spayed/neutered early are less likely to be aggressive or to begin spraying behavior.
