Cat Vaccination Guide: What Cats Need and When

Vaccination protects cats from serious and potentially fatal diseases.

Core Vaccines

Feline herpesvirus: major cause of cat flu
Feline calicivirus: cat flu, mouth ulcers
Feline panleukopenia: highly fatal parvovirus equivalent

Non-Core Vaccines

Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV): recommended for outdoor cats
Rabies: required for travel

Kitten Schedule

8-9 weeks: first vaccination
11-12 weeks: second
15 months: first adult booster

Indoor Cats Still Need Vaccines

Viruses can be carried in on clothing and shoes. Emergencies may require boarding where exposure risk is higher.
