Cat influenza can be a severely debilitating disease, and may be fatal in some cases. The vaccines currently available are very effective against these diseases -- but remember that your cat needs annual booster injections to keep her protected throughout her life.

Choosing the right veterinarian is an important first step when you bring your new kitten home. Ask your breeder or friends to recommend the vet that's right for you and your new companion.

Every kitten needs a vet. The greatest supporter of your kitten’s health is her veterinarian, so make sure you’ve registered with a clinic.
