Cat Vaccines
At Accessible Veterinary Care, we offer core and optional vaccines to protect against serious diseases.
Rabies Vaccine
Rabies is a fatal disease that affects both animals and humans. Florida law requires all cats to receive a rabies vaccination. This vaccine protects against the deadly virus and helps prevent its spread in the community.
FVRCP Vaccine
The FVRCP vaccine protects against three highly contagious feline diseases:
- Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR): A respiratory infection caused by the herpesvirus.
- Calicivirus (C): Leads to respiratory issues, oral ulcers, and joint pain.
- Panleukopenia (P): Also known as feline distemper, this virus attacks the immune system and is often fatal.
Feline Leukemia (FeLV) Vaccine
Feline leukemia is a contagious virus that weakens the immune system and increases the risk of infections and certain cancers. The FeLV vaccine is recommended for outdoor cats or those who come into contact with cats with unknown feline leukemia status.
