Important Feline Disease Prevention

Distemper
Adult cats should be given distemper (Rhinotracheitis, Calici, Panleukopenia and Pneumonitis) vaccinations.

Rabies
After the initial innoculation, the rabies vaccine is given every three years to adult cats.

Feline Leukemia
After the initial two vaccines, cats that go outside and/or are exposed to outdoor cats should receive a booster annually.
