Cat vaccination schedule
This schedule is a general guide based on international veterinary guidelines. Your veterinarian determines your cat's vaccination plan based on its age, health status, whether it goes outdoors, and the other animals in your home. The ages and intervals given here are approximate; the actual plan is made after an examination.
Combination vaccine (FVRCP)Core vaccine
Feline parvovirus (panleukopenia) and the herpesvirus and calicivirus infections known as cat flu
WSAVA 2024: first dose at 6–8 weeks, then every 2–4 weeks until at least 16 weeks of age; followed by a booster at 26 weeks or slightly later (here, about 3 months after the last dose given at 16 weeks). AAHA/AAFP 2020 recommends continuing the series until 16–20 weeks. In low-risk adults, once every year or less often; the veterinarian may make a different plan depending on risk status. Chlamydia felis and feline Bordetella vaccines are non-core; the veterinarian evaluates them in multi-cat environments where infection has been confirmed.
Rabies vaccineCore vaccine
Rabies (a fatal viral disease that can also be transmitted to humans)
In Türkiye, it is the legal obligation of the owner to have cats and dogs older than three months vaccinated against rabies once a year (Regulation on Protection from Rabies and Control of Rabies, Official Gazette 18.01.2012/28177, art. 9). The regulation provides for a booster 21 days after the first vaccine, unless the manufacturer states otherwise. WSAVA considers this vaccine core in regions where rabies occurs. Consult your veterinarian for current practice.
Feline leukemia virus vaccine (FeLV)Core vaccine
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) infection
A FeLV test is performed before vaccination; only FeLV-negative cats are vaccinated. WSAVA 2024 regards this vaccine as core for cats under 1 year of age in regions where FeLV occurs; in adulthood, it recommends it for cats that go outdoors or live with cats that go outdoors. AAHA/AAFP 2020: 2 doses 3–4 weeks apart starting at 8 weeks, with a booster after 12 months; once a year in high-risk cats, and every 2–3 years in low-risk adults depending on the product. For adult cats that never go outdoors, the veterinarian decides whether to continue. The FIP vaccine is generally not recommended; according to WSAVA, the FIV vaccine is non-core. Repeat vaccinations in adulthood are not shown in the schedule: for adult cats that go outdoors or live with FeLV-positive cats, the veterinarian determines the frequency of repeat doses. A FeLV test is performed before vaccination.
