Vaccination for cats in Kaiserslautern – Important protective measures for your furry friend
Your cat's health is important to us - and one of the most important measures to protect against serious diseases is regular vaccination. Whether indoor or outdoor cat, young or senior - every cat should be protected by a targeted vaccination strategy.
In our small animal practice Animova in Kaiserslautern, we will give you comprehensive advice on the optimal vaccination plan for your cat. Here you will find out why vaccinations are so important, which diseases are covered and when your cat should be vaccinated.
Why is vaccination important for cats?
Cats can become infected with dangerous viruses and bacteria through contact with other animals, infected surfaces or even through the air. Some diseases are incurable or have life-threatening consequences. Vaccinations protect your cat from these and prevent the spread of dangerous diseases .
✔ Prevention of serious infections
✔ Protection for indoor cats and outdoor cats
✔ Reducing the risk of infection for other animals
✔ Longer life expectancy due to strong immune defense
Which vaccinations does my cat need?
In Germany, there are some mandatory and recommended vaccinations that are relevant for all cats. We differentiate between core vaccinations (recommended for all cats) and optional vaccinations (depending on life situation and risk).
1. Important basic vaccinations (core vaccinations)
🐱 Cat flu (herpes & calicivirus)
➡ Symptoms: Coughing, sneezing, eye inflammation, fever
➡ Particularly contagious – also transmissible to indoor cats through humans
🐱 Cat disease (feline panleukopenia / parvovirus)
➡ Symptoms: diarrhea, vomiting, high fever, fatal outcome possible
➡ Highly contagious and long-term transmissible – vaccination essential
🐱 Rabies (recommended for outdoor cats & trips abroad)
➡ Symptoms: Aggression, paralysis, death
➡ Especially important for outdoor cats & traveling with cats
2. Additional vaccinations (depending on lifestyle)
🐱 Feline Leukemia (FeLV) – recommended for outdoor cats
➡ Symptoms: immune deficiency, tumor formation, lifelong infection
➡ Transmissible through bites, saliva & blood
🐱 Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)
➡ Symptoms: Peritonitis, fever, water retention
➡ Particularly dangerous for young cats
🐱 Chlamydia infection
➡ Symptoms: conjunctivitis, respiratory infections
➡ Especially recommended for multi-cat households & breeding
When should my cat be vaccinated?
The first vaccination usually takes place as early as the 8th week of life . After that, a vaccination plan with regular boosters is drawn up.
🔹 8 weeks: First vaccination against cat flu & cat plague
🔹 12 weeks: Second vaccination (booster)
🔹 16 weeks: Rabies vaccination (necessary for outdoor cats or trips abroad)
🔹 1 year: Refresher of all vaccinations
🔹 Every 1-3 years: Further booster vaccinations depending on the disease
Important: Indoor cats need boosters less often than outdoor cats because their risk of infection is lower.
