🩺 Vaccines — without illusions or pressure

One of my clients reached out today with a very important question:
“When is the best time to vaccinate my kitten?”
Here’s what I told her — and I’d like to share it with you, too:
“Thank you so much — I’m really happy to hear he’s doing so well and adjusting beautifully!
Now, about vaccines — I’ll be very honest with you: this is one of the most complex and controversial topics in pet health.
There are two scientifically-supported viewpoints on early vaccination in kittens:
🥼 One is the official, widely accepted veterinary protocol.
🌿 The other is much less popular in the veterinary world — not because it lacks science, but because its conclusions challenge the pharmaceutical industry and mainstream veterinary practices.
This second viewpoint is based on solid research — not myths or anecdotal guesses. But it's so unpopular that I can’t openly talk about it on social media, where things are often misunderstood or flagged.
That’s why I created a full blog post on my website, where I outline both perspectives. It’s written to help you make your own informed, confident decision.

No matter which path you choose, here’s my only personal advice:
If you plan to vaccinate — wait as long as reasonably possible. Give your kitten time to grow stronger. Many complications happen because the immune system is too immature to handle vaccines early.
You’re the mom now — and I trust your love and instincts.💛
Let me know if you ever have questions. I’m always here.”
If you’ve been wondering about vaccines too, I hope this gives you clarity and confidence — without fear, guilt, or pressure.
