For a one-year-old cat, it's important to keep up with the annual booster shots following his initial kitten vaccinations. The core vaccines usually include FVRCP, which protects against feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia, and the rabies vaccine. Depending on whether your cat goes outside, a veterinarian might also recommend the FeLV vaccine for feline leukemia. Keeping regular appointments with your vet will ensure your cat's vaccinations are up to date and tailored to his specific needs.
