About Your Cat

Always consult your vet. This schedule is based on WSAVA and AAFP guidelines. Your vet may adjust timing based on your cat's health status, local disease prevalence, and prior vaccination history. Some vaccines require a primary course of 2โ€“3 doses; boosters may be 1 or 3 years depending on the vaccine type and brand.

Vaccine Reference Guide

Core vaccines are recommended for all cats regardless of lifestyle. Non-core vaccines are given based on risk of exposure.
FVRCPCORE

Combination vaccine covering three diseases: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (herpesvirus โ€” upper respiratory), Calicivirus (upper respiratory, oral ulcers), and Panleukopenia (feline parvovirus โ€” highly fatal, especially in kittens). Often called the "cat flu" vaccine in the UK.

RabiesCORE

Required by law in many countries. Fatal viral disease affecting the central nervous system. Even indoor cats should be vaccinated in most regions. First dose at 12โ€“16 weeks, then per manufacturer guidelines (1 or 3 year boosters).

FeLV โ€” Feline Leukaemia VirusNON-COREOutdoor Risk

Transmitted through close contact (grooming, sharing bowls, bite wounds). Suppresses immune system and can cause cancer. WSAVA recommends for all kittens, then reassessed at 1 year. Strongly recommended for outdoor cats.

FIV โ€” Feline Immunodeficiency VirusNON-CORE
