Cat Vaccinations in Kidderminster
Kitten Vaccinations
Welcoming a new kitten into your life is such a special moment, and we’re here to help you ensure they start off strong and healthy. At Maggie & Marlow, we provide a comprehensive vaccination course for kittens to protect them as they grow. This course consists of two essential injections. The first vaccination starts at 8 weeks of age, followed by a second vaccine three weeks later. These vaccinations are crucial because while kittens receive some immunity from their mothers, a second injection is necessary to fully protect them.
After the second vaccination, you’ll receive a certificate to mark this important milestone. To keep your kitten's immunity strong, we also recommend annual boosters. These help to maintain their protection, allowing them to enjoy a long, healthy life by your side.

Cat Vaccination FAQs
Why are cat vaccinations necessary?
Vaccinations are a vital part of keeping your cat safe from life-threatening diseases. They provide the protection your cat needs to live a healthy, happy life. While Titre testing is an option to check your cat’s immunity, it’s not always reliable and can be costly. If you’re planning a trip or need to board your cat, vaccinations are often required by boarding facilities or catteries.
Do indoor cats need vaccinations?
Yes, even indoor cats benefit from vaccinations. While they may need a reduced course that includes protection against cat flu and enteritis, many indoor cat owners opt for a full vaccination schedule to ensure their cat is fully protected, just in case they decide to go on an adventure outside.
What happens if you don't vaccinate your cat?
Choosing not to vaccinate your cat can leave them vulnerable to various harmful diseases. Additionally, if you plan to travel or use boarding services, most facilities require up-to-date vaccinations. A simple yearly vaccination can provide peace of mind, knowing your cat is protected.
Should you vaccinate an older cat?
Absolutely. As long as your cat is healthy, vaccinations remain important no matter their age. These vaccinations help safeguard them from diseases, allowing them to continue living a vibrant life.
How much does it cost to vaccinate a cat?

Can a vet tell if a cat has been vaccinated?
While there isn’t a physical way to tell if a cat has been vaccinated, our team can often look into your cat’s history using a vaccination card, previous vet records, or microchip details. We’re committed to making sure your cat gets the care they need.
At Maggie & Marlow, we understand how much your pet means to you, and we’re here to support you both every step of the way. Let’s work together to keep your cat healthy, happy, and thriving in our wonderful community.
