Vaccinations Protect Cats from Serious Illness


Core vaccinations are essential to protect cats from deadly diseases such as feline panleukopenia, calicivirus, and rabies. Vaccines not only safeguard individual pets but also prevent outbreaks in the wider feline population.

Kittens typically begin their vaccine schedule at 6–8 weeks of age, with boosters given every few weeks until 16 weeks. Adult cats require regular boosters based on their lifestyle and exposure risk.

Even indoor cats should be vaccinated, as some viruses can be transmitted through human contact or open windows.

As part of your cat care routine, pair vet visits with other wellness tools like Hensin’s pet locators, ensuring your cat stays healthy and safe.
