* We do recommend that all kittens (even indoor only) initially get a FeLV vaccination series since the possibility exists that they may be exposed to FeLV through the introduction of new cats, exposure to other cats if they should escape the house, or in case they do become indoor/outdoor cats later in life. We may elect to drop the FeLV vaccination from the vaccination program later in the kittens life if he/she is a truly 100% indoor kitty as they are most susceptible as kittens.
