Re: Booster Jabs


Donna, I have Cassie vaccinated mainly because she goes into a Cattery every year when we are on holiday and catteries refuse to take your cat unless it has been fully vaccinated. Saying that I think I would still get her done even if she didn't go in.

Re: Booster Jabs


Hi Mags

I dont think mine would ever go to a cattery (cant afford a holiday boo hoo!!) but having said that, am thankful for everyone's opinion.

Everyone on this forum has the experience of being a cat owner that I do not have yet. Dont want to make mistakes.

Re: Booster Jabs


Donna I think you are being very sensible and asking questions, afterall that is what we are all here for, helping each other out.

Another item to consider as a new cat owner is insurance, I have both of my cats insured (especially after my prevous cats vets bills came to about £1,000 in the space of 6 weeks) Have you thought about this? I think it is really good especially if your cats are going to go outside.

Just a thought

Re: Booster Jabs


Hi Emma,

Yes I do have my kitties insured. I decided straight away to do this because could not afford a massive unexpected bill!!

When I got Misty she was given to me and came from rather a "sorry" household - she was thin and scrawny and seemed so pathetic. She ended up having antibiotics immediately I got her home due to an infection.

Because of this I decided to play safe with insurance!!

Needless to say since I got her a year ago she is now a super fit healthy happy little rascal!!

Re: Booster Jabs


Excellent stuff, although I do not think insurance is totally essential, my previous cat Lucy wasn't insured and was more or less trouble free for 11 years and she did go outside, vets bills and the like never seem to come along when we have much money spare!!

Re: Booster Jabs


So far I have found the pet insurance excellent, (I am with Directline), I wish though that they did one that did cover the boosters though, even if I was paying more a month.

Re: Booster Jabs


Do Direct Line have a cover for life Emma? Where by they will pay out for a single condition for the whole of a cat's life or do they just pay out to a maximum for one condition?
