Vaccination for Cats
Vaccination for Cats
A Vaccination is absolutely necessary for cats. They must be vaccinated for:
• FVRCP - feline viral rhinotra- cheitis and calicivirus (diseases of the eyes, nose and throat) plus panleukopenia (a viral disease of the blood and intestines).
• Rabies - a viral disease fatal to humans and other animals.
Kittens get their first FVRCP shot at 8 weeks and a second when 12 weeks old. Anti-rabies and a third FVRCP vaccine are administered after four months.
An adult cat (13 weeks or older) which hasn’t been vaccinated must be given an initial FVRCP vaccine and booster in 2-4 weeks. Anti-rabies should be given yearly.
