For Cats
Kittens begin feline distemper vaccines at 6-8 weeks ending with adult distemper and rabies vaccine at 4 months.
The number one killer of cats is feline leukemia. Vaccines should be started at 9 weeks. If your cat is outside, we also recommend a vaccine for feline infectious peritonitis. All of these vaccines need to be boosted annually to maintain immunity.
