When should kittens be vaccinated?
Your kitten will need two sets of vaccinations to get them started – their first set at nine weeks old and a second booster set at three months old. After this, kittens and cats usually require ‘booster’ vaccinations once a year.
Until your kitten is fully vaccinated (and neutered), you should keep him or her inside.
What diseases can vaccinations protect against?
Cats are commonly vaccinated against:
- Cat flu (feline herpes virus and feline calicivirus)
- Feline infectious enteritis
- Feline leukaemia virus
Your vet can advise which vaccinations your cat or kitten will need to help protect them from infectious diseases. When you get your kitten, one of the first things you should do is register them with a local vet who will be able to carry out the vaccinations your kitten needs.

Which vaccinations are required for cats?
There are various vaccines offered to keep your cat safe, and your veterinarian will advise you on which ones are best for you.
Kittens normally require their first vaccinations at eight to nine weeks of age, followed by a second vaccine three to four weeks later. Your kitten will require a booster vaccination when he or she is a year old, and then every one to three years thereafter.
- Feline parvovirus (FPV) can cause serious diseases in cats and is typically deadly in kittens. It is also known as feline panleukopenia.
- Cat flu is caused by two viruses: Feline Herpes Virus (FHV) and Feline Calicivirus. (FCV). Cat flu is similar to human flu in that it causes fever, runny nose, loss of appetite, lethargy, and sneezing, but it can also cause mouth and eye ulcers in cats.
- Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV) is a virus that targets the immune system and causes cancers such as leukaemia and lymphoma. It also weakens your cat’s immune system, making them more susceptible to other deadly ailments.
- Felis Chlamydophila
This bacterium causes severe conjunctivitis and ocular discharge. - Rabies is a virus that attacks the brain and nerves.
- Bronchiseptica Bordetella
This bacterium produces flu-like symptoms and chest infections, which can lead to pneumonia. It is lethal to kittens and can cause major diseases in adult cats.

HOW LONG ARE CAT VACCINATIONS EFFECTIVE?
Some vaccines are given as booster injections every year. Your vet will give you a vaccination record, which you’ll need to keep safe.
WHAT IF MY CAT MISSED THEIR VACCINATION?
Your cat can still get vaccinated if they have missed their vaccinations. Depending on how long it had been, their immune response may have slowed and you may be advised to repeat the process. Your veterinarian will advise you on the best course of action.
CAN CATS GET SIDE EFFECTS FROM THEIR CAT VACCINATIONS?
You may be worried about the adverse effects of a cat vaccination, but pet vaccines are thoroughly evaluated, and side effects are uncommon. Most cats will not experience any adverse reactions, nevertheless, brief symptoms may include:
Swelling that is confined to one area
A mild fever
Reduced appetite
Coughing or sneezing
Tiredness – Your kitten may become tired following immunisation.
Symptoms should subside within 48 hours, but consult your veterinarian if you are worried. It’s vital to remember that the risks of not vaccinating your cat exceed the risks of possible adverse effects.
