What's Hot CATS Cats make wonderful pets. It is important to bring your new kitten as well as your older cat to the veterinarian for vaccinations and health check- ups.
Vaccinations are available to prevent many cat diseases.
Prevention costs less than treatment, and makes your cat healthier. Without a vaccination program, many cats will come down with a serious or even fatal disease. Vaccinations help prevent diseases by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies that help fight viruses and bacteria that cause diseases. The protection provided by a vaccine gradually declines after a pet is vaccinated, so it is important to provide regular boosters for your pet. Nursing animals receive antibodies from their mother's milk that aid in protection from disease during the first months of its life.
