Core Vaccines for Cats

Every cat has different healthcare requirements. But whether you have a kitten or you are caring for a senior feline, giving them core vaccines is essential. 

Here are some of the common diseases that we provide vaccines for:

1.   Feline Panleukopenia (FPV): A contagious and sometimes fatal disease that attacks the immune system, nervous system, and gastrointestinal tract.

2.   The Feline Calicivirus (FCV): It is a virus that can cause joint pain, oral ulcers, and respiratory infections.

3.   Feline Herpesvirus (FHV-1): Feline viral rhinotracheitis, one of the leading causes of upper respiratory infections, is due to infection by the feline herpesvirus (FHV-1).

Non-Core Vaccines for Cats

Non-core vaccinations are considered optional and can be given to your cat according to their risk factors, such as

  • Their Environment (Is your cat an indoor or an outdoor cat?)
  • Exposure (Do they frequently go to a pet boarding with other pets like dogs around?)
  • Travel Habits (Is your cat your travel buddy, exploring new places often?)

Here are key diseases that we focus on primarily:

  • Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV): This disease could affect cats who live outdoors, or those who live in households with several other cats.
  • Chlamydophila Felis: Is a bacterial infection that affects the eyes. It is also known as chlamydial conjunctivitis.

6–8 weeks: First set of vaccinations for kittens.

Every 3–4 weeks: Booster shots until 16 weeks of age.

Annually: Adult cats require yearly boosters to maintain immunity.

    Kittens typically start their vaccinations at 6–8 weeks of age and require boosters every 3–4 weeks until they are about 16 weeks old.
