Core vaccines are required for all cats, while non-core vaccines are chosen based on the cat’s specific situation and living environment. Core vaccines mainly include cat triple vaccine and rabies vaccine. Feline triple vaccine is used to prevent feline distemper, feline calicivirus and feline rhinotracheitis, three diseases that pose serious threats to cat health. Generally speaking, kittens receive the first dose of cat triple vaccine 6-8 weeks after birth, and then receive the second and third doses every 2-4 weeks. After completing these three vaccinations, a booster vaccination is required every year.

In addition to the core vaccines, there are also some non-core vaccines that can be selected according to the actual situation of the cat. For example, feline leukemia virus vaccine, feline immunodeficiency virus vaccine, etc. These vaccines are mainly determined based on the cat’s living environment, contact with other pets, and veterinarian’s recommendations.
