Vaccinations are much more than just a quick jab – they offer your kitten or cat a comprehensive physical health check and protection against diseases that can be debilitating or may even prove fatal.

Here at Woodward Veterinary Practice in Ashby, we perform routine vaccination appointments for all cats throughout their lives, including house cats. Our specialist vets carry out the procedures effectively to ensure little distress for your pet and should be a routine part of the care of every cat year on year.

 

When to get your cat vaccinated

We recommend that vaccinations are started whilst kittens are young as they only have a small amount of protection from their mothers, which fades away at a young age.

We routinely start cat vaccinations from 9 weeks of age, with the second injection 3-4 weeks later to complete the course.

Kittens are then fully protected 10-14 days later and are able to venture outside after this time.

It is very important to complete the course otherwise maximum protection against diseases will not be achieved.

We also encourage that kittens are neutered and microchipped BEFORE being allowed outside, as they tend to go on adventures whilst exploring their new environments which helps to ensure that we cut down on lost pets, and unwanted litters.
