Cat Vaccinations To ensure the wellness of your cat or kitten and to prevent disease, you should make sure that your cat receives vaccinations and checkups on a standard schedule. Here is a suggested schedule recommended by the American Health Center. Vaccination Cat's Age Feline Distemper nine weeks, 12 weeks, annually thereafter Respiratory Virus Complex nine weeks, 12 weeks, annually thereafter (done with the distemper vaccination) Feline Leukemia Virus nine weeks, then two to four weeks later, annually thereafter Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) four months, then two to four weeks later, annually thereafter Rabies three months, annually thereafter (check with your vet regarding your state's legal requirements) Annual Booster Vaccinations annually along with intestinal worm checks In addition, the following health checks and procedures are recommended for your cat: Feline leukemia/FIV testing: Test around 12 weeks of age. Intestinal worm checks: Check at nine weeks and 16 weeks, then twice annually thereafter. Neutering or spaying: Cats should be neutered or spayed at five to six months of age As cats receive their annual shots as adults, pet experts say that their vaccinations often last beyond a year. However, it is still important to make sure they receive their shots regularly and on as consistent a schedule as possible. Failure to follow these schedules can endanger the health of your cat, subjecting them to diseases such as feline distemper, herpes, feline leukemia, feline immunodeficiency virus, respiratory viruses, feline infectious peritonitis, Hepatitis B and tapeworms. Do I Have to Vaccinate My Cat? Generally speaking, veterinarians recommend all of the above vaccinations for all cats. However, the actual necessity of vaccinations depends on the degree of risk posed to your cat in his daily environment. If your cat is strictly indoors and is the only pet in the house, vaccinations are not as critical to its health as they are to an outdoor cat or a cat in a multi-pet household. Please note that state law requires all cat to receive rabies vaccinations. The initial vaccination is typically good for one year, while subsequent vaccinations are good for as long as three years. Requirements vary by state so be sure to check with your veterinarian for the rules that apply to your pet. A rabies vaccine can save your cat's life on two fronts. First, it can prevent your pet from being infected if a rabid animal bites it. Second, if your cat has not been vaccinated and it bites someone, it can be quarantined and/or euthanized. You can ensure your cat's safety by getting the required rabies vaccinations. Vaccinations to Consider The other vaccinations noted above are highly recommended, with the exception of Feline Infectious Peritonitis, which is relatively uncommon. It is recommended in households with multiple cats. Check with your veterinarian to determine if this vaccination is right for your pet. In addition, feline leukemia can only be passed from one cat to another. If your cat is indoors and is not exposed to other cats, you may be able to skip this vaccination as well. Again, ask for your veterinarian's advice before making your decision. Regardless of the vaccinations you opt to provide for your cat, it is still critical to have your cats checked annually for signs of aging and disease. It is important to find and treat health problems early.
