Most kittens are litter box trained by the time you take them home. If you have more than one cat we recommend one litter box per cat plus one extra. Covered litter boxes tend to trap in offensives smells which may be an aversion for some cats. When choosing a litter the most important factor is choosing one your cat will like, so experiment a little. Scoop litter boxes daily and completely dump the litter and scrub the box every 1–2 weeks using hot water and natural cleaner. Be sure to place litter boxes in quiet out–of-the-way places so your cat will have some privacy. How do I keep my cat from scratching? Scratching is a normal activity in cats and kittens—and in short, you can’t keep your cat or kitten from scratching. But you can try to modify where and what they scratch. In order to minimize damage to you and your furniture, be sure to trim you kitten’s nails on a regular basis and encourage the use of a scratching post.

Recognising that there are unique aspects of veterinary practice in certain geographical regions of the world, the Vaccination Guidelines Group undertook a regional project in Latin America between 2016 and 2019, culminating in the present document. The Vaccination Guidelines Group gathered scientific and demographic data during visits to Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, by discussion with national key opinion leaders, visiting veterinary practices and review of the scientific literature. A questionnaire survey was completed by 1390 veterinarians in five Latin American countries and the Vaccination Guidelines Group delivered continuing education at seven events attended by over 3500 veterinar- ians. The Vaccination Guidelines Group recognised numerous challenges in Latin America, for example:

  • Feline Vaccination Protocol
    FELINE VACCINATION PROTOCOL Kittens Remember, young kittens also have young immune systems and are susceptible to contagious diseases. Do your best to keep them away from a lot of exposure until their immune system gets older and more effective. This means limited trips to visit kitty friends. It is important to socialize your kitten but do not expose him/her to cats or places that might be highly contagious. Kittens over 8 weeks of age are given a FVRCP vaccination (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia; i.e. the ‘distemper’ shot). This vaccination is then repeated every 3 to 4 weeks; the last vaccination should be when the kitten is 15 to 16 weeks of age. Kittens can be given a one year rabies* vaccination at 3 months of age, but I prefer to wait until they are + at least 4 months old. The county requires that the rabies vaccination be given by four months old . This first rabies vaccination is a one year vaccine. I prefer for rabies and FVRCP vaccinations to be given separately, at least one month apart. Unless your kitten will be at risk I do not recommend the vaccines for chlamydia (a respiratory virus), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), feline leukemia (Feleuk) or feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). We can discuss your kitten’s risk factors and make a decision together. Cats One year after the kitten vaccines your cat should receive the 3 year FVRCP vaccine, then a three year rabies* vaccine one month or more after. I then suggest the FVRCP vaccination be given at age 4 and at most every 3 years.

  • Rabies Vaccination Exemptions in Virginia: What Veterinarians Need to Know
    Rabies Vaccination Exemptions in Virginia: What Veterinarians Need to Know Exempting a dog or cat from a routine rabies vaccination schedule is a very serious decision and should always be made judiciously since forgoing vaccination has the potential to adversely affect both animal and human health. In order to increase the likelihood that dogs and cats for which a vaccine exemption is in keeping with legal requirements (see excerpt from the Code of Virginia below), the Virginia Department of Health asks veterinarians to review the following information prior to applying for a rabies vaccine exemption. Rabies vaccination exemption summary and best practices: Veterinarians must apply for a rabies vaccine exemption via a standard application form available through their local health departments. Applications should only be submitted for a dog or cat with a documented medical history that strongly suggests that vaccinating would be life-threatening to that animal. If approved, an exemption is valid for 1 (one) year. Veterinarians should educate owners that an exemption can be used for obtaining a license for dogs (and, in some localities, a license for cats) in the Commonwealth, but CANNOT be used as a substitute for a current rabies certificate in response to an exposure. Veterinarians should educate owners that a dog or cat for which no current rabies certificate can be produced and is assessed as exposed to rabies may be subject to euthanasia or up to 6 months strict isolation as well as a booster vaccination in response to the exposure. Veterinarians should caution owners that private businesses such as grooming facilities and boarding kennels may not accept an exemption certificate in lieu of a rabies certificate and so an exempted animal’s access to these and other facilities may be limited.
