VETERINARIAN VISITS

Routine Cat Vaccination
More About Booster Shots-Booster shots will ensure that your cat is immunized against potentially life-threatening diseases. These vaccinations introduce a harmless form of disease-causing viruses or bacteria into the cats body. These cause the cats immune system to produce antibodies that protect the cat from the real disease. Subsequent booster shots are necessary to build a cats immunity up to a sufficent level.

Vaccinations For Kitten
Kittens receive their first vaccinations at about eight to ten weeks of age, and a follow-up vaccination in three to four weeks. Your vet will instruct you on how many visits will be needed and which vaccines should be administered, based upon your kitty´s age and risk factors. Boosters are then given at one year of age, and annually thereafter for the rest of the cat´s life. The rabies vaccine is slightly different; it is given first at about three months of age, boosted at one year, then repeated at three-year intervals.
