Why Cat Vaccinations Matter
Cats—whether indoor or outdoor—can be exposed to contagious diseases from other animals, shared environments, or even humans. Some viruses are airborne, while others can be carried on shoes or clothing. Vaccinations help prevent painful illnesses, reduce the risk of serious infections, and support your cat’s overall health and quality of life.
Essential Cat Vaccines
We recommend the following essential vaccines for all cats:
- Rabies: A deadly virus affecting the brain and nervous system, also a public health concern.
- FVRCP: A single vaccine protecting against three major illnesses—Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia (also called feline distemper).
- Rhinotracheitis: Causes severe respiratory symptoms.
- Calicivirus: Can lead to mouth ulcers, fever, and eye infections.
- Panleukopenia: Weakens the immune system and can be fatal, especially in kittens.
Non Core Vaccines for Cats
Some cats face extra risks based on their environment and lifestyle. We may recommend:
- Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV): Recommended for outdoor cats or those living with other cats, as the virus spreads through close contact.
- Bordetella: Suggested for cats in boarding facilities or multi-cat households to protect against respiratory infections.
Individualized Vaccine Plans for Cats
Kittens typically begin their vaccination series at six to eight weeks of age, with boosters given every few weeks until 16 weeks. Adult cats require regular boosters to maintain immunity, while senior cats may need adjusted schedules based on their health. At Pure Paws Veterinary Care, we create personalized vaccine plans to keep your cat protected while avoiding unnecessary vaccinations.
