Do you know when your cat needs its vaccinations? And which ones? Below is
a suggested schedule for necessary vaccinations for your kitty. As always follow the recommendations and advice of your vet.

8 weeks

12 weeks

18 months
Rabies (Boostered every 1-3 years from this date depending on local
vaccination requirements)

* The first FVRCP vaccination must be boostered after 3-4 weeks to insure maximum levels of immunity in your cat. Your vet may also recommend an additional booster vaccination at 15-16 weeks of age.

Additional Information

The FVRCP, FeL V, and Rabies vaccinations are given as injections. These injections are usually given in the scruff of the neck. Some cats develop a
small lump at the injection site several weeks after the injection. This lump is
a reaction to the carrier agent solution in the vaccines. Normally the lump will subside within a few weeks and should only raise concern if it lasts considerably longer than this. Let your vet know if the lump seems to bother
your cat or does not seem to go away several weeks after it appeared. Always contact your vet if your cat displays any other adverse reactions to the vaccinations it has been given.
