If you see my previous post, youll know i have 3 feral kittens.
When i first caught them, i took them to the vet the next day and that appt. when surprisingly well. We went ahead and started their first round of vaccs bc i wasn't thinking about it being a problem to get them to their next appt.
Should i hold off on taking them to their next appt.? I'm just worried about it hindering the taming process I've made so far (they all ate breakfast in my lap and took treats from my hand this morning while allowing me to pet them!!!). But i also don't want to have to start the vaccine process all over again. (if you know anything about kitten vaccines then you know what i mean)
Their appt. would be this week but i can push it to next week to give a bit more time.

I'd go ahead and take them. Kittens are pretty resilient and you want to get them used to different experiences. The more they are sheltered the more they will like you and your home and dislike other things. That being said, if you want to push a week, I don't think that'll make much of a difference. But staying on top of the vaccines is important too.

Take them. It MAY set things back for a day or two (or three), but they will bounce back quickly. And getting them back to where they are now is MUCH easier than fighting off some illness that could be prevented!
