Why are cat vaccinations important?
Cats are vulnerable to infectious diseases that can seriously affect their health and welfare. Many are viral infections which can be life limiting or trigger a lifetime of chronic illness. These damaging diseases cause a range of symptoms in cats such as eye and mouth ulceration, inflammation of the respiratory system and gut, cancer and reduced immunity. These complex diseases are difficult to manage and have a huge negative impact on cats. Feline vaccination therefore makes sense to support your cat’s long term wellbeing.

How old does my cat need be to be vaccinated?
Kittens should have their first set of vaccinations at nine weeks 
Cats usually need ‘booster’ vaccinations every twelve months.
Although getting your cat vaccinated when it is very young is very important – it is equally important to keep your cat’s vaccinated throughout it’s life.

How often should cat be vaccinated after their first inoculations?
We recommend that cats will need an annual ‘booster’ usually 12 months after their previous vaccination.

If your cat goes outside and comes in contact with other cats we recommend that is also vaccinated for Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV)

Who can vaccinate my cat?

A veterinary surgeon will vaccinate your cat. However, if they have been given a full health check for their primary kitten vaccination, a qualified nurse can give the follow up vaccination 3 weeks later.

What is the cost of adult cat vaccinations?
The price of adult cat vaccinations is £75 for Feline Panleucopenia/Infectious Enteritis (Feline Parvovirus, FPV), Feline Rhinotracheitis (Feline Herpesvirus, FHV) and Feline Calicivirus (FCV).
If you also want the additional Feline Lukemia Virus at the same time, the price for this combination is £100.

What happens if my cat is a rescue cat?
If you adopt a cat from a charity, they are often vaccinated before you take them home. Always check with the charity and ask for the vaccination documentation. If you do not an up to date vaccination card we recommend re-starting with a full vaccination schedule.

What documentation do I need if my cat has already been inoculated ?
Ask for the vet vaccination records so you can take them to your vet when they are due their annual booster – and you can make a note of the anniversary on your calendar or in your diary!
