Yes, if they go outside. They could get a kitty leukemia that could kill them, not to mention worms, heartworms are worst.
consult a vet.
Absolutely. I would also recommend checking for feline leukemia. It is expensive, but worth it. I at least two beautiful cats before I knew about it.
Vaccinating kittens is a good idea. Check out this website for more information.

YES! usually a series of three visits to the vet (at about 2, 3, and 4 months old)... vaccinations for respiratory infections, distemper and leukemia are very important... and rabies, of course.
Here in Florida, if you adopt a cat from an agency or b uy one from a pet shop they are required, by law to vaccinate before releasing the cat to anyone.
Aside from the fact that I agree, many vets and pet shops are interested in the revenue, I also hope to believe that allowing the possibilities, they care about animals as well.
An indoor cat is certainly less susceptible to illness and disease, but any cat is able to get leukimia, parvo virus, worms, etc. and some are life threatening.
I've worked for the humane society and have been an animal keeper most of my life. I've seen the devestating effects of the diseases.

Yes, because of certain diseases that out there that might encounter. I suggest that you do it and your pet for the most part will remain healthy
YES! they need to be examined, given their vaccinations and usually they need to be wormed. A vet should also advise on early spay/neuter programs to prevent overpopulation and poor little orphaned kittens.
