Essential vaccines include FVRCP and rabies. Discuss your cat’s lifestyle with your vet to determine if additional vaccines are needed.
Here’s a summary of the yearly vaccinations needed for a Sphynx cat:
Vaccine | Purpose | Frequency |
---|---|---|
FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia) | Protects against three major feline diseases: respiratory infections and feline distemper. | Annually after the initial kitten series. |
Rabies | Protects against the rabies virus, which is a fatal disease. Required by law in most areas. | Annually or every 3 years, depending on the vaccine type and local regulations. |
FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) | Recommended for cats that go outside or have contact with outdoor cats. Protects against feline leukemia, which can suppress the immune system. | Annually if recommended by your vet. |
Your vet may adjust the vaccination schedule based on your Sphynx’s health and lifestyle. For more in-depth information, check out our blog post “Essential Vaccinations for Sphynx Cats: A Complete Guide“.
