Kittens should be vaccinated according to a schedule of boosters
spaced about 4 weeks apart. Cat vaccines can help protect against feline panleukopenia,
upper respiratory infections and calicivirus. (Stop
the Shots!!)
When a
kitten leaves RaggleRock it has age appropriate vaccine(s). Vaccination protocols will vary in
different provinces and states, we will supply you with a brochure
regarding our schedule.
(Danger
of Vaccines)
We
insist that you DO NOT vaccinate your Ragdoll kitten against the
Feline Leukemia Virus or FIP vaccine. As the
FIP (feline infectious peritonitis) vaccine has a low effectiveness
and it may very well cause the disease you are trying to prevent.
We also insist that you DO NOT give a RABIES vaccine in combination
with any other vaccine. Rabies when
given should be at least 2 weeks apart from any other shots AND given
in a killed format only.
Lastly, DO NOT deworm
your kitten unless it has been determined that he or she in fact has
worms and then only deworm for the specific type of worm that is
detected.
