Vaccination is the best way to help protect your cat from the most common feline viruses that can cause potentially fatal diseases, such as feline leukaemia and cat flu.
Ideally, the first vaccinations will be given before a kitten starts mixing with other animals. Your cat will then need annual boosters, which as part of your Petplan policy should be kept up to date. If your pet came to you without vaccination records, you may want to restart the vaccine programme to be on the safe side – do consult your vet.
Parasites such as worms and fleas need to be controlled every month, so ask your vet to recommend the most effective products.
