Why Vaccinating Your Cat is So Important
Cats, whether indoor or outdoor, can be exposed to contagious diseases through other animals, shared environments, or even human contact. Some viruses are airborne, and others can be carried inside on shoes or clothing. Vaccinations help prevent painful illnesses, lower the risk of life-threatening infections, and improve your cat’s quality of life.
Core 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 is often fatal in kittens.
Lifestyle-Based (Non-Core) Vaccines
Some cats face additional risks based on their environment and daily activities. We may recommend:
- Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV): For cats who go outdoors or live with other cats, as this virus spreads through close contact.
- Bordetella: For cats in boarding or multi-cat environments to protect against respiratory infections.
Customized Vaccination Schedules
Kittens start their vaccine series at around six to eight weeks of age, with boosters given every few weeks until they reach 16 weeks. Adult cats need regular boosters to maintain immunity, while senior cats may require modified schedules based on health status. At Pure Paws, we create personalized vaccine plans so your cat stays protected without unnecessary vaccinations.
