What are Cat Vaccinations?
Vaccines boost your cats immunity against potentially fatal diseases. They also stop your cat from being a carrier of the disease and from spreading the infection around. They are usually given by injection under the skin behind the back of the neck. Cat vaccinations contain harmless forms of viruses or bacteria which cause certain cat illnesses. By having the injection, the cats immune system is stimulated to produce antibodies to fight the infection. This reaction is ‘remembered’ by your cats immune system so that when it later comes into contact with the disease in real life, they can successfully fight off the infection.
