Vaccinations play a crucial role in maintaining the health and well-being of your cat.

Why Vaccinate Your Cat?
Vaccines protect your cat against various infectious diseases, helping to build immunity that can prevent serious illnesses and even save your pet’s life. In Calgary, common feline vaccinations include those for rabies, feline distemper, and respiratory infections. Staying on top of these vaccines ensures your cat’s health and helps control the spread of diseases in the pet community.
Core Vaccines and Their Schedules
- Rabies Vaccine
The rabies vaccine is essential, especially for outdoor cats in Calgary. This vaccine protects not only your cat but also your family and other animals, as rabies can be transmitted across species. Mobile Veterinary – By Dr. Wendy follows recommended protocols to ensure safe and effective vaccination. - FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia)
Often considered the “core” feline vaccine, FVRCP protects against multiple contagious viruses. This vaccine is given as a series in kittens, with boosters as your cat matures. Check out Dr. Wendy’s vaccination pricing and packages on her Care Kit and Pricing page. - FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus)
FeLV is a contagious virus that affects outdoor cats. Discuss your cat’s lifestyle with Dr. Wendy to determine if this vaccine is necessary, especially for cats who may interact with others outdoors.
