What shots does your kitty need? Believe it or not, you have a lot of flexibility when it comes to vaccinating your cat. How should you decide what your cat needs? There are many factors to be taken into consideration before making a decision. Here are some things to ask yourself and your vet:

• Is your cat at risk to be being exposed to a disease-causing organism?
• What will be the consequences of an infection?

• Does the risk of an infected cat pose a threat to you or your family's health? (e. g., rabies)

• How effective is the vaccine?

• What is the frequency and/or severity of the reactions that the vaccine will cause?

• How old is your cat?
• Is your cat healthy?

• What types of reactions has your cat had to vaccines in the past?
