Cats need to be vaccinated with the feline triple vaccine and rabies vaccine, primarily to prevent infectious diseases and rabies. The feline triple vaccine protects against herpesvirus, feline panleukopenia virus, and calicivirus. The rabies vaccine primarily prevents rabies. It's important to note that vaccination schedules should be determined based on the cat's age and administered regularly to ensure vaccine effectiveness.

What vaccines can cats receive?

Precautions for cat vaccination:

1. Cats can only be vaccinated against rabies when they reach 12 weeks of age, and then once a year thereafter.

2. After a cat is vaccinated, it is important to prevent illness, keep it warm, and provide appropriate nutrition.

3. Do not bathe your cat after it has been vaccinated. It takes about 7 days for the cat to develop a certain number of antibodies after the vaccination. During this period, the cat's resistance is weak, and bathing it can easily make it catch a cold and get sick.

4. The recipient must be healthy when receiving a vaccine. Do not vaccinate if the recipient is sick or under stress, such as when changing feed, location, or owner.

5. After a cat receives a vaccination, it may experience allergic reactions such as swelling of the head, face, and small red rashes on its body. Therefore, after a cat is vaccinated, the owner should wait for half an hour to observe the cat before leaving.
