Do Cats Need Shots Every Year. I'm getting a kitten this june, just wondering what the yearly shots are, and also i'm just wondering how much it would cost. Rabies injections used to be given yearly, until a longer lasting vaccination was developed, making the booster only needed once every three years.
I am happy to report that there is an easy answer to the related question of whether indoor cats need booster shots every year. If you’re wondering what shots cats need for apartments, discuss with a professional. The shots come in a series every 3 to 4 weeks.
There are a number of different brands of rabies vaccines for cats available on the market, and each brand comes with manufacturer guidelines that must be adhered to by the administering veterinarian.
Some pet owners tend to think of parvo and distemper in dogs and feline panleukopenia, calicivirus and herpesvirus in cats as diseases that only affect puppies and kittens. By the time our pets are 8, 10 or 12 years — or older — they should have been vaccinated for these diseases several times in their lives: The news has been slow to reach consumers, partly because few veterinarians outside academic settings are embracing the concept. Unfortunately most of the sources of the disease were unknown.
