Cat Vaccination at Keysivet – Keeping Your Feline Friend Safe and Healthy
Introduction
At Keysivet (Keysborough Veterinary Practice), we know your cat is more than just a pet—they're part of the family. One of the most important ways to protect your feline friend from illness is through regular cat vaccinations. Vaccinations not only keep your cat healthy but also help prevent the spread of dangerous and sometimes fatal diseases
Why Are Cat Vaccinations Important?
Vaccinations work by preparing your cat’s immune system to fight off specific viruses and bacteria. Even if your cat stays indoors, they can still be exposed to diseases carried through air, contaminated surfaces, or from other animals.
Regular vaccinations protect against common and serious feline illnesses such as:
- Feline Enteritis (Panleukopenia) – a highly contagious and potentially fatal virus
- Feline Herpesvirus (FHV) – causes respiratory and eye infections
- Feline Calicivirus (FCV) – another common respiratory infection
- Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) – similar to HIV in humans, it weakens the immune system
- Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV) – affects immunity and can lead to cancer
- Rabies – though rare in Australia, is required for international travel
Kitten Vaccination Schedule
Getting your kitten vaccinated early is vital for long-term health. At Keysivet, we recommend the following schedule:
- 1st vaccination: 6–8 weeks old
- 2nd vaccination: 10–12 weeks old
- 3rd vaccination: 14–16 weeks old
- Booster: Annually after the initial series
We customise your kitten’s vaccine plan based on their lifestyle, age, and risk factors.
Adult Cat Vaccinations
Even adult cats need annual booster shots to maintain their immunity. During your cat’s yearly health check at Keysivet, we’ll review their vaccination history and provide any necessary boosters.
We offer both core vaccines (essential for all cats) and non-core vaccines (recommended based on your cat’s lifestyle, such as outdoor exposure).
