🩺 5 Urgent Signs Your Cat Needs a Vet Now

Feline Rhinotracheitis (FHV-1)

This is an infectious disease caused by the herpes virus. Your cat should get the vaccine at 8 months of age, then receive boosters at 1 year and every 1 to 3 years thereafter.

Feline Calicivirus (FCV)

Feline calicivirus is a highly contagious virus that is one of the most common causes of feline upper respiratory infections, also known as cat flu. Your cat should receive the vaccine at 8 months of age, then receive boosters at 1 year and every 1 to 3 years thereafter.

Feline Panleukopenia (FPV)

FPV is a high-mortality infection that causes a low white blood cell count. You need to vaccinate your kitten at 8 months, then get boosters at 1 year and every 1 to 3 years thereafter.

Feline Chlamydophilosis

This bacterium causes conjunctivitis in cats. Kittens in multi-cat households are at the highest risk of contracting this infection, which typically presents with mild upper respiratory signs. You should discuss giving this vaccine to your cat with your vet.

Feline Leukaemia (FeLV)

Feline leukaemia is a viral infection that is often fatal in cats. Cats can die within three years of diagnosis. Outdoor cats are most susceptible to disease. Kittens should be vaccinated against FeLV with a booster at one year of age. Subsequent vaccinations should be determined based on the risk of exposure.

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV / Feline Aids)

FIV, or Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, is common among outdoor cats. It’s similar to HIV in humans. This vaccine is only available in select countries.
