When traveling by car be sure your pet is always in a carrier. When you adopt a cat from Lee County Animal Services, it will receive its first set of shots and a test for feline leukemia. It is the owner's responsibility to see that regular veterinary care is maintained. Your veterinarian will vaccinate your cat according to an age appropriate schedule. This will include a rabies vaccination when your cat is four months of age or older.
Adult cats require yearly vaccinations.
Your veterinarian will protect your cat from feline panleukopenia, viral-rhinotracheitis, pneumonitis, feline leukemia, and rabies. Cats are susceptible to respiratory infections. Ask your veterinarian to describe the warning signs. It is also important to protect your pet from fleas and ticks. In addition to your veterinarian's phone number, you should keep an emergency number handy.
