Because of this, veterinarians recommend a series of vaccinations to guard a kitten through the early, most susceptible months of life. Ask your veterinarian. YOUR CAT Vaccination is economical protection against a number of costly and often fatal diseases. Many of these diseases cannot be cured, only prevented. Even cats kept indoors can be exposed to infectious diseases and should be vaccinated.
Vaccination is a preventive measure only.
It will not cure existing diseases. While kittens may receive temporary immunity from their mothers, this immunity is unpredictable and usually disappears by 9 to 12 weeks of age. Kittens should be vaccinated at this time. Kittens vaccinated prior to this age should be revaccinated after three months to insure protection. Annual revaccination is recommended in most cases.
