What injections does my cat need?

Hi, I've got a female indoor cat who is about 1 year old. She's been neutured, but was wondering as we will need to put her in a cattery when we go on holiday, what injections does she need?

Got an indoor cat and he has had all the injections an outdoor cat would have.

(noknowledge) What on earth does that mean?!

ask the vet or the cattery as they know the answer

Because she will be in contact with other cats in the cattery she will need all the injections that an outdoor cat has.

See your vet well in advance as some vaccinations can take a couple of months to be effective.

Also when you book her into the cattery they will tell you what they require.

One alternative to a cattery is getting someone to come in and feed her and change the litter tray (a relative or friend maybe?), or some people advertise pet sitting, try asking at your vets.

In the UK - most catterys insist on vaccination again Cat Flu and Enteritis.

If your cat is an infdoor cat, and not coming into contact with other cats, the Feline Leukaemia Vaccine is pretty optional.

Some vaccine companies make a combined vaccine, so ask your vet if they stock the individual doses - as it usually makes things a bit cheaper to leave out the Leuk part.
