How often should I get my outdoor cat vaccinated?

[]

Answer

For outdoor cats, regular vaccinations are essential to protect against common and potentially deadly diseases. Typically, core vaccines like FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia) are given every one to three years after the initial kitten series. Rabies vaccination is also legally required in many places and vital for outdoor cats due to potential wildlife exposure. Your veterinarian will recommend a specific schedule based on your cat's age, health status, and local disease risks. They may also suggest non-core vaccines like Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) if your cat has frequent exposure to other cats. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
