There is an opinion among the people that vaccination is shown primarily to dogs, but cats do not need it, since these animals spend most of their lives at home and are protected from harmful external factors. It turns out that this is not so. The thing is that on the floor of any apartment or house there is a huge number of microbes and viruses, which are brought in by shoes from the street. Therefore, there is always the danger of contamination of even the most clean and domestic cat.
In this article, we will briefly discuss what vaccines are best for your cats.
