How cute are these two adorable sisters ๐Ÿ˜

Chai and Latte came in for their kitten vaccines today, and we all giggled at the SHEnanigans of these two little ones ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ

Vaccines work by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies or activate cells that recognize and fight infectious agents. When a cat encounters the same agent again, it can quickly generate antibodies and eliminate the agent. However, no vaccine is 100% effective, and some cats may not be as well protected as others.

A veterinarian can assess your cat's risk factors and recommend the best vaccines for your cat's lifestyle.
