Here in Florida, if you adopt a cat from an agency or b uy one from a pet shop they are required, by law to vaccinate before releasing the cat to anyone.
Aside from the fact that I agree, many vets and pet shops are interested in the revenue, I also hope to believe that allowing the possibilities, they care about animals as well.
An indoor cat is certainly less susceptible to illness and disease, but any cat is able to get leukimia, parvo virus, worms, etc. and some are life threatening.
I've worked for the humane society and have been an animal keeper most of my life. I've seen the devestating effects of the diseases.

for brand spanking new kittens it is appropriate to get an entire examination, stool verify, vaccines suited for her age; repeat at periods as needed until 4 months and at that component boosters and the rabies vaccine. Spaying is done at any component previous that as recommended by the vet. this might grant the secure practices she desires and can provide her the healthiest initiate in existence. best for you for shielding her as an indoor cat - she would be able to stay longer than she might being outdoors - there are too many adverse aspects outdoors and the existence is many times a lot shorter. Congratulations on you new appropriate pal!

YES! usually a series of three visits to the vet (at about 2, 3, and 4 months old)... vaccinations for respiratory infections, distemper and leukemia are very important... and rabies, of course.

YES!!! they need to be examined, given their vaccinations and usually they need to be wormed. A vet should also advise on early spay/neuter programs to prevent overpopulation and poor little orphaned kittens.

Absolutely. I would also recommend checking for feline leukemia. It is expensive, but worth it. I at least two beautiful cats before I knew about it.

Yes, because of certain diseases that out there that might encounter. I suggest that you do it and your pet for the most part will remain healthy

Yes, if they go outside. They could get a kitty leukemia that could kill them, not to mention worms, heartworms are worst.
