Our dear friend may have some other diseases throughout his life, but we can help him prevent them thanks to vaccines. While they won't protect you 100%, they will protect you 97-99%, which is already much more than nothing.
However, if we have never lived with a feline before, we may be wondering when to start vaccinating the cat. It is a very common question that we are going to answer below.
Colostrum, the most important food for the kitten
When the cat is born it must do one very important thing: drink colostrum that his mother's body has been producing. This food it is rich in proteins and antibodies, which are the ones that will protect the little one up to 2-3 months. However, sometimes it happens that the mother rejects him or something happens to him and cannot take care of him, then the kitten's life is in serious danger, especially if he is two weeks old or less. What to do in these cases? Should be vaccinated before?
No. If we have a kitten that has been orphaned, what we should do is keep it warm if it is winter, and give it a replacement milk for cats. that the vet can sell us or that we can buy in a pet store.
When to start vaccinating it?
The most common calendar is the following:
- 2-3 months: trivalent feline.
- 4 weeks later: reinforcement of the trivalent feline.
- Six months: rabies and leukemia.
- A from the year and annually: reinforcement of feline trivalent, rabies and leukemia.
But if the cat is an adult and has never received the vaccines, if you decide to vaccinate it, you can do it without problems. In these situations, the vet may ask you if you want him to put them all on at intervals, or only those that are mandatory, such as rabies.
With vaccines your cat will be much more protected 😉.
