A Guide to Vaccination Cats are independent animals. Their natural roaming habits may bring them into contact with other animals - increasing their exposure to disease. Several diseases that cats get are almost always fatal - feline leukemia, feline infectious peritonitis, and rabies, for instance. Other diseases can kill kittens or destroy the good health of adult cats. Fortunately for your pet, vaccinations are available to prevent many cat diseases.
Vaccines protect pets against common viruses and bacteria that cause disease.
Prevention assures the best quality of life for your pet, and it costs less than treatment. Vaccinating your cat is the best and least costly way to prevent disease. Without a vaccination program, many cats will come down with a serious or even fatal disease. This information outlines the vaccinations veterinarians most often recommend to prevent infectious diseases in cats. FeLV can also cause cancer in a small proportion of cats.
