Do indoor cats need FVRCP vaccines?

Veterinary organizations generally recommend FVRCP vaccination for all cats, including indoor-only cats. The diseases it protects against are highly contagious and can be brought indoors on clothing, shoes, or through exposure to other animals. Consult your veterinarian about the appropriate vaccine schedule for your cat.

Can I get free FVRCP vaccines for my cat?

Some shelters, TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) programs, and nonprofit organizations offer free or very low-cost FVRCP vaccines for cats. Community vaccination events may also provide affordable options. Contact your local animal shelter or humane society to inquire about upcoming free vaccine clinics in your area.

How often does my cat need an FVRCP vaccine?

Kittens typically need a series of 3 to 4 FVRCP vaccines starting at 6 to 8 weeks old, with boosters every 3 to 4 weeks until 16 weeks of age. Adult cats generally need a booster 1 year after the kitten series, then every 1 to 3 years. Your veterinarian can recommend the appropriate schedule for your cat.
