Kitten vaccination schedule in the Netherlands
A practical guide to early vaccinations, boosters and home veterinary care.
Protecting your kitten as maternal immunity fades
Young kittens may have temporary antibodies from their mother, but the timing and strength of that protection vary. Vaccinations are given in a planned series so immunity can develop as maternal protection declines.
The right schedule depends on your kitten’s age, previous vaccinations, health, indoor or outdoor lifestyle and any travel plans.
What the kitten schedule usually includes
Core vaccines are normally given during kittenhood, followed by a later booster and an adult schedule based on individual risk and veterinary guidance.
Vaccination visits are often combined with a general examination and advice about parasite control, nutrition, microchipping and neutering.
What to consider
Review previous records
Check age, origin, health history and any vaccines already administered.

Common questions
Can my kitten be vaccinated at home?
Yes. Many kittens are calmer at home because there is no carrier journey or clinic waiting room.
Does an indoor cat still need vaccination?
Indoor cats can still be exposed through other animals, people, travel or escape. Your veterinarian will assess individual risk.
What if my kitten’s vaccination history is unknown?
We can recommend a safe catch-up approach based on age, health and available information.
Can you help with travel requirements?
Yes. We will assist as much as possible, while owners remain responsible for checking the current official entry requirements for their destination.
