Have you recently purchased or adopted a cat? If so, make sure you call your local vet and schedule a first time visit. Cats that are adopted from shelters are often checked out by a vet ahead of time. These cats are also typically up to date on all vaccines. It’s a good idea to still take them to your vet with the vaccine records so the vet can establish a medical history for your cat. Cats that are purchased from breeders may have had initial vaccinations, but will need the rest as they age a few more weeks. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) recommends that all cats receive core vaccines that include feline distemper, feline calici virus, feline herpes virus type I, and rabies. Other vaccines may be needed depending on where you live. For instance, a lyme vaccine may be required. Consult with your vets Rochester, NY to learn more. Schedule an appointment today!
