Cat Boosters?

555 Posts

Been around 10 years since my last pet cat and it seems like things have changed, the rescue centre we went to told us cats have to have a annual boosters injection in order to stay healthy! I mentioned my last cat never had any but only lived for 22 years which i thought was good but the recue centre operative claims it would live much longer with boosters as they guard against cancer and disease!
I feel like i have woken up after being in a coma for 40 years or is this booster essential for modern pets!

Enjoy everyday like it's your last!

I am more than surprised at the claim by the rescue
Maybe the rescue believes in cat reincarnation, and doesn't 'start the clock' from actual birth, but from presumed re-birth?
I do remember a non-cat-loving friend who thought they would do a very nice thing for their cat-loving beloved, and get a kitten. Non-cat-lover had assumed cats had the lifespan of hamsters and the like (ie quite short), and were shocked to discover how long they might have to put up with this addition to the household. Caveat emptor ...
We have a young indoor cat, and our vet recommends that we give her yearly boosters. Reason being that we have friends with outdoor cats, and they could carry the infection on their hands/clothes.
