Vaccinations
All cats coming into contact with other cats - and even if they do not - need to be vaccinated against a variety of feline diseases. The kitten or cat without such protection is severely at risk from infection.
A kitten should first be vaccinated against major desease prevalent in your area country between eight to ten weeks, when mother's milk no longer cancels out antibodies intorduced into her kitten's system. A second close should be given at 12 weeks. In the pedigree kitten, the breeder will be responsible for carrying out the initial two stages of vaccination. The kitten should then not be allowed out of doors or to come in contact woth other cats, since immunity is not complete until two weeks after the final dose. When the kitten reaches cathood, a booster will be required at later stages. All details of vaccinations will be recorded on your cat's vaccination card.
Consult your vet for information regarding your cat, its and your circumstances and subsequent necessity for vaccinatiom against these deseases. The following are major feline diseases against which it is recommended that your cat is vaccinated.
