Annual vaccinations: The best prevention
Keeping their vaccinations up to date protects them from infections that can lead to serious illnesses. In the case of cats, we must first think about what type of cat it is:
- If your cat does not leave the house and does not have contact with any other animal (house cat), it will need fewer vaccinations than if it lives outside and may come into contact with other cats or animals
- On the other hand, during the first 6 months of life, kittens have their own vaccination schedule.
Cat Vaccinations
Home cat vaccinations
In this case we recommend only 1 annual guideline of the trivalent vaccine
Outdoor cat vaccinations
If your cat can walk outdoors and/or can be in contact with other animals, in addition to the annual trivalent vaccine schedule, it is recommended to add a leukemia vaccine schedule.
Kitten Vaccinations
In the case of kittens, vaccination is even more important than in adults:
House kitten vaccinations:
- At 8 weeks: Trivalent
- At 12 weeks: Trivalent
- At 16 weeks: Trivalent

Compulsory vaccinations for cats
In Spain, annual adult vaccinations are not mandatory, but we recommend those described above to prevent the cat from being exposed to the risk of contracting serious diseases.
Vaccinating a cat at home: Advantages
Undoubtedly, in the case of cats, it is when home vaccination is most appropriate. The main reasons:
- As you well know, transfers generate a lot of stress.
- After the stress of moving and in a strange environment like a center, her stress level does not go down.
- This situation of tension complicates an action that carried out from the tranquility of the home is managed quickly and easily. In most cases, your cat won’t even notice.
