Cat Vaccine Schedules

What shots do cats and kittens need?

There may be variations in schedules due to factors such as pre-existing health conditions and indoor/outdoor living situations. We've provided an approximate schedule below, based on an average indoor cat. Your vet can provide specific information and the schedule they recommend for your unique pet.

Possible Side Effects

Most cats will not have major side effects from their vaccinations. However, if you notice any of the following side effects, contact your vet immediately to determine if other treatment may be necessary.

• High fever
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Immobility or limping
• Lethargy
• Swelling near the area of injection
• Loss of appetite

Why to Get Your Cat Vaccinated

Your feline friend depends on you to provide the care that will help them live long, healthy life. Vaccinations are a preventive approach to avoid serious, and sometimes fatal, diseases. Avoiding getting ill is always better than having to treat a disease once your pet has contracted the illness.

Vaccines are important for all cats and kittens, whether your is an indoor or outdoor cat they need to be vaccinated.

Speak with your vet to determine the right vaccination schedule for your cat or kitten.
