Pet Vaccinations at Kitten to Cat
Protecting your cat from serious illnesses starts with timely vaccinations. At Kitten to Cat, we prioritise preventative care to keep your feline healthy and thriving. From kittens to adult cats, staying up to date with cat vaccinations not only safeguards their health but also helps reduce the spread of contagious diseases, giving you peace of mind.
Understanding Vaccines and Their Benefits
Vaccinations help protect your cat from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. At Kitten to Cat, we provide tailored vaccination programs to keep your cat healthy throughout their life.
Core diseases commonly protected against in cats include:
- Feline panleukopenia
- Feline herpesvirus
- Feline calicivirus
- Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV)
Since covid, we’ve been seeing an increase in FeLV (feline leukemia virus), which highlights the importance of vaccination. Because cats can easily spread infections, vaccines are essential.
At Kitten to Cat, we tailor vaccination protocols based on whether your cat is indoor or outdoor, using the minimum number of vaccines needed to provide full protection while keeping your pet safe and healthy.
Vaccination Timings: Kittens & Adult Cats
Kitten Vaccinations
At Kitten to Cat, we generally start kittens’ vaccinations at around 9 weeks of age, depending on their individual health and circumstances. Follow-up doses and boosters are carefully scheduled to ensure lasting immunity and ongoing protection
Adult Cats & Boosters
Adult cats without a complete vaccination history can begin a personalised vaccination plan at Kitten to Cat. Even fully grown cats require regular boosters, some annually, others every few years, depending on the specific vaccines and diseases being targeted.
What to Expect at a Vaccination Appointment
Every vaccination visit begins with a thorough health check to ensure your cat is fit for their vaccine. Injections are usually given under the skin, commonly on the scruff or leg, and are quick and generally well tolerated.
During the appointment, you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions, such as those about possible side effects or which vaccines are most suitable for your cat’s lifestyle. Some vaccines, such as the nasal vaccine for feline upper respiratory infections, may be administered as a nasal spray rather than an injection.
