Cat Vaccines

Vaccines protect your pet from preventable diseases caused by viruses and help strengthen their immune system. We routinely recommend certain core vaccines for all cats, whereas some are more selectively used according to your cat's lifestyle. If you want to know which vaccines your cat would need, please contact us at 416-537-9677.

What are the different types of vaccines for cats?

• FVRCP (feline herpesvirus, calicivirus and panleukopenia): The FVRCP vaccine protects your cat from a group of primarily upper respiratory cat diseases that are common, highly contagious, painful and can be fatal.
• Rabies: The rabies vaccine protects your cat against this deadly and untreatable disease (which bats can spread to indoor cats). It is required by law, so it's important to keep your cat up-to-date on their rabies vaccine.
• Feline Leukemia: Feline leukemia is a serious and eventually fatal disease that weakens a cat’s immune system. It is spread through direct contact with other cats. We recommend that all kittens receive the feline leukemia vaccine to give them initial immunity at an age when they have a higher risk of infection, but it is optional for adults. Cats should get the feline leukemia vaccine if they go outside or if they are exposed to other cats (such as foster cats or other feline visitors).
