Cat & Kitten Vaccinations In Calgary

Keep your feline friend healthy and protected with affordable cat and kitten vaccinations at Barlow Trail Animal Hospital.

Why Vaccines Are Important for Cats & Kittens In Calgary

Vaccinations provide essential protection for your feline companion:

• Disease Prevention: Vaccines protect your cat against serious diseases that can cause severe illness or even death
• Cost Savings: Regular vaccines prevent serious illnesses that could result in expensive treatments or surgeries
• Peace of Mind: Vaccination gives you confidence that your cat is protected against dangerous preventable diseases
• Indoor Cat Protection: Even indoor cats benefit from vaccination since viruses can still enter your home through clothing, shoes, or contact with other animals

Cat & Kitten Vaccines We Provide In Calgary

Our Calgary vet clinic offers all the core vaccines your cat or kitten needs to stay healthy and protected.

Rabies Vaccines for Cats

Rabies vaccination provides protection against a serious viral disease that affects the nervous system and is fatal if contracted.

This vaccine protects both your pet and your family from this dangerous virus.

Kittens begin their rabies vaccination series as part of their initial immunizations, while adult cats receive regular boosters to maintain lifelong protection.

FVRCP Vaccine for Cats

The FVRCP vaccine is a core vaccination that protects cats and kittens against three serious diseases: feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia.

These highly contagious viruses cause severe respiratory symptoms, oral ulcers, and potentially fatal complications.

The FVRCP vaccine is given alongside the rabies vaccine as part of the standard immunization schedule for kittens and adult cats.

Feline Leukemia Vaccine for Cats

The feline leukemia vaccine protects against a contagious virus that weakens the immune system and can be fatal.

We recommend this vaccine for cats and kittens that go outdoors or live with other cats.

Young cats are more susceptible to infection, making vaccination important for at-risk kittens.

Indoor-only cats with no contact with other felines may not need this vaccine, and we'll help determine what's right for your pet.

Kitten Vaccination Schedule In Calgary

Kittens need a series of vaccines to build strong immunity during their vulnerable early months:

• 6-8 weeks old: Kittens receive their first round of core vaccines including the rabies vaccine
• 10-12 weeks old: Second round of vaccines with boosters for continued protection
• 14-16 weeks old: Final kitten vaccines including FVRCP vaccine to complete the series
• 1 year old: First annual booster vaccines to maintain immunity into adulthood
