Questions
When should my Exotic Shorthair start vaccinations?
Most Exotic Shorthair 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 Exotic Shorthair?
Exotic Shorthairs share Persian anatomy: a flat face that means 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 Exotic Shorthair get PKD screening?
Yes. Exotic Shorthairs share Persian PKD risk. A one-time DNA test or kidney ultrasound before age one establishes the baseline. Vaccines are unaffected.
Does my Exotic Shorthair need outdoor non-core vaccines?
Exotic Shorthairs are typically indoor companion cats. FeLV is recommended through the first-year booster; after year one, indoor-only adults can usually drop it.
Same schedule for a Exotic Shorthair 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 Exotic Shorthair mix.
