Look who’s back! Meet Thor, the adorable British Shorthair, after his very first annual vaccine! 😺💉

Vaccinations are essential for protecting your cat from serious diseases like feline calicivirus, feline distemper, and feline herpesvirus. Especially in NZ, where diseases like toxoplasmosis and feline leukaemia are present in the environment, regular vaccines are crucial for keeping your kitty safe and healthy. 🏥

Annual vaccines help boost your cat’s immune system and ensure they stay protected against contagious diseases. Plus, keeping up with vaccinations can prevent costly vet bills in the future and give you peace of mind knowing your feline friend is safe! 🐾💙

Don’t forget to schedule your cat’s annual check-up and vaccinations — it's an important step in keeping them healthy for years to come!
