Cat Vaccines

Adult cats need fewer vaccines than kittens, and the right set depends on how your cat lives. Our Sugar Land clinic on Southwest Freeway reviews your cat's history and lifestyle at the wellness exam, then recommends only what fits.

You go straight to an exam room, which helps cats who hate the carrier and the waiting.

Call (346) 436-6295 or book online.

When it's an emergency: Go straight to a 24-hour emergency hospital for a cat with face swelling, vomiting, trouble breathing, or collapse after a vaccine, or a cat that was bitten by a bat or other wild animal. We're open 8 AM to 6 PM, seven days a week, and we don't provide overnight care.

Core and Lifestyle Vaccines

  • Core for all cats: FVRCP and rabies

  • Feline leukemia: core for kittens, then based on whether your adult cat goes outside or lives with cats that do

  • Boosters on a one- or three-year schedule, depending on the vaccine

The American Association of Feline Practitioners' vaccine handout explains why indoor cats still need vaccines and notes that rabies is required by law in many areas, including Texas.

Bats and Indoor Cats

Bats made up half of all confirmed animal rabies cases in Texas in 2025, according to state health data. Bats get into attics, garages, and living rooms, and cats are often the first to find one.

  • Keep your cat's rabies vaccine current, even if it never goes outside.

  • If you find a bat in the house, keep pets away and don't touch it bare-handed.

  • Call us if your cat may have touched a bat, and contact Sugar Land Animal Services about testing it.

“Brought in three cats for an annual visit and had a fantastic experience. All cats were snuggled and loved and very well taken care of.”

Making the Visit Easier

Leave the carrier out at home for a few days so it's familiar, and cover it with a towel on the drive. Tell us if your cat is nervous so the team can slow down. You can stay with your cat the whole time.

When a Booster Isn't Due

If your cat's records show it's current, it doesn't need a vaccine just because it's in for another reason. Bring records from shelters, rescues, or past clinics so the doctor can avoid repeating shots.

What Cat Vaccines Cost

Vaccines are given at a wellness exam. A wellness exam is $99, or included with PetfolkCare. Each vaccine is priced separately, and you'll see the total first.

PetfolkCare is $199 a year and takes 10% off vaccines.
