It may be recommended if you have multiple cats.FeLV is the most common cause of viral deaths in cats and it can be spread through the milk, feces, urine, saliva, and nasal secretions of infected cats. Pets are as likely to catch something while they’re boarded as they are in an animal shelter.If your cat goes to a groomer, it’s worth considering additional vaccinations. This protects all animals in the boarding facility, including your cat.

AAFP offers two vaccine categories: Core and Noncore.

The FVRCP vaccine has been shown to confer immunity for at least three years, so vaccinating your cats with this vaccine any more frequently is probably unnecessary. This vaccine provides immunity against two separate upper respiratory diseases (Rhinotracheitis—the Feline Herpes virus, and Calici virus).

Unfortunately, it’s a common misconception that indoor cats don’t need to be vaccinated because they won’t encounter other cats or disease-carrying animals.The good news is indoor cats require fewer vaccines than outdoor cats because they are at a lower risk of many communicable diseases that can affect felines. Kittens should receive this shot at 6-8 weeks because they are very vulnerable to calicivirus and distemper.

Staying current on vaccinations can keep your cat safe if their lifestyle ever changes.If your cat is picked up by animal control, they may spend at least a night in an animal shelter. Stress and crowded shelters are the perfect recipe for making your cat more susceptible to catching something before you pick them up.What happens if you need to go on a trip or stay in a hospital but there’s no one to take care of your cat? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDeue0nmbco&feature=youtu.be
