FAQs

What proof do we need of my cat's vaccination?

Your vet will provide you with a vaccination certificate. Inside it will show the date of vaccination along with a sticky label off the vaccine bottle and a date of its next annual booster. On the day of arrival to our cattery bring with you your cat vaccination certificate.

Why are cat vaccinations so important?

When your cats comes into a cattery there will be lots of other cats. Some cats can carry the cat flu virus, which becomes airborne and your cat may contract it this way. The same can apply by your cat brushing against the next-door neighbours cat. Cat flu can be very nasty for cats so it’s important that they’re protected for their well-being.

My cats never been vaccinated - what do I do?

Quite simply go to a vet and get your cat booked in. The most important vaccination for when your cats goes into a cattery is the Cat Flu and Enteritus.

What is the vaccination procedure?

When your cats goes to the vets for its first cat flu vaccinations it will have:

  • Its first jab on day one
  • 3 weeks later your cat will go back for its final jab known as the booster
  • 2 weeks after its booster jab is when your cat is ready to go into a cattery because this is when its immune system is fully protected.
  • 12 months later from the date of your last cats vaccination you need to go back to the vets for its annual injection.

What if my cat's vaccination dates have lapsed?

If your cats vaccination dates have lapsed by a few weeks don’t worry just go back to the vets for its annual booster. If its lapse by a few months you need to consult your vets as probably your cat will need to start all over gain as explained above.
