What shots does my 2-year-old cat need and what's the price?

Should you intend to have your kitty vaccinated at a Vetco clinic, here are the prices: https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/ You should have her also tested for FIV and FeLV. She should be vaccinated against FVRCP as a core vaccine, rabies, and wormed against round and tape worms. Thanks for taking care of this kitty!

Hi there and thank you for your question! A cat needs a yearly feline distemper vaccine and rabies vaccine (although the rabies vaccine can be one every one or 3 years). If Tyrion is an outdoor cat at all, he will need a yearly feline leukemia vaccine. Different hospitals have different prices, but I would be prepared to spend around $100 if not more on your yearly vaccine update visit.

These shots are likely FVRCP and possibly Feline Leukemia vaccine. Costs do vary based upon where you live and if you go to a vaccine clinic or not. Information including pricing can be found for the Vetco vaccine clinics offered by Petco at Petco.com. Otherwise I recommend to call around or look at the websites of your local clinics. Expect to pay an office visit. Most vaccines are priced between $25-35 per vaccine. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Vaccination costs will vary depending on your location and where you take Cody, so it is best to contact the clinic you wish to take her to for a more complete estimate. Prices will vary depending on the cost of the shots themselves, examination, fees, etc and can range anywhere from 30-150 dollars depending on clinic costs, what is done, what shots are given, etc. Vaccination clinics are sometimes offered by local animal shelters and vet hospitals, which may be cheaper than going into a traditional veterinary hospital as well if Cody is otherwise healthy.

Excellent question. The main vaccination(s) they need are: 1) FVRCP- a combo upper respiratory vaccine. 2) And if they go outdoors they should get the FeLV (leukemia) vaccination, which is an infection that is spread through drinking water. 3) Then of course the Rabies vaccine, if it is required in your state. The FVRCP and Rabies vaccine can be given once a year for the first year, then once every 3 years. The FeLV vaccine is given yearly.

An annual check is always recommended to confirm good health or to catch potential illnesses early on. Cost will vary by geographic location. Contact your local veterinary clinic and ask how much an annual exam (or initial exam for new patients) would cost. Most, if not all, clinics will provide a cost or estimate if requested.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is great that you decided to get your cat fixed! To be considered fully vaccinated, she will need at least a rabies vaccine, FRCP vaccine, and I recommend an FeLV vaccine for outdoor cats. These are all potentially deadly or extremely common viruses that cats can get from each other or wildlife such as raccoons. Although your cat is indoor only, there is a risk that she may run away and be exposed. I recommend having her microchipped and wear a collar in case this happens so that the two of you can be reunited. She should also be on monthly flea control, even f she is only indoors to prevent flea infestations.
