Why Vaccinations Are Essential for Cats
Vaccines don't just protect your cat; they also reduce the risk of disease spread in multi-cat households and communities. Whether you’re raising a kitten or keeping your adult cat up to date, routine vaccination offers protection from:
- Feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia (FVRCP): Core vaccines that protect against upper respiratory infections and deadly viruses.
- Feline leukemia virus (FeLV): This vaccine is vital for kittens and outdoor cats. It helps prevent a highly contagious and life-shortening disease.
- Rabies: Legally required in many states and vital for protecting your cat and your household from this fatal zoonotic virus.
Keeping your cat vaccinated is one of the simplest and most effective ways to support its long-term health and prevent costly treatments in the future.

What Cat Owners Should Consider Before Buying
Before selecting a vaccine, always consider:
- Age of the cat: Kittens typically start vaccines around 6-8 weeks of age and require boosters until they are 16-20 weeks old.
- Indoor vs outdoor lifestyle: Outdoor cats or those exposed to other pets may require additional vaccines like FeLV.
- Medical history: Immunocompromised or allergic cats may benefit from specific vaccine formulations (e.g., Purevax).
- Local laws: Rabies vaccination is legally mandated in most U.S. states for all cats, regardless of lifestyle.
When in doubt, consult your veterinarian or reference your state's vaccine requirements.
