A vaccination plan provides your kitten or cat with a lifetime of protection against diseases.
Congratulations on your new kitten! Vaccination is one of the first preventative steps you’ll take to ensure they’re protected against a range of diseases. We’ll develop a vaccination plan that includes core vaccines as well as recommend some non-core vaccines based on your kitten’s lifestyle or environment.

They’ll continue to receive booster vaccines throughout their adulthood to maintain their immunity. For example, rabies is a mandatory core vaccine that’s mandated by the Ontario government. Non-core vaccines are only recommended based on your kitten or cat’s susceptibility to certain diseases. To learn more about core and non-core vaccines, please contact us at 613-247-0013.

After that, they receive boosters every 1-3 years, depending on the vaccination. We will vaccinate your new kitten against:
