Kittens and cats, whether they live indoors or outdoors, can be exposed to diseases caused by viruses or bacteria. Vaccinations help protect our feline friends by preventing the spread of these diseases and boosting their body’s defense against potentially fatal illnesses. If cats do not receive their shots during kittenhood, there is a high risk they will contract feline calicivirus, rabies, feline distemper, feline viral rhinotracheitis, feline leukemia, chlamydia, and kennel cough.

Vaccinations are vital for protecting pets against illnesses and by vaccinating kittens and cats against dangerous diseases, owners can ensure their feline friend lives a healthy and happy life. That’s why MRFRS vaccinates every kitten and cat that comes through the shelter prior to adoption. It’s also why we hold Vaccine clinics for cats (and dogs!) several times a year at no or low cost to pet owners.
