In your kitten’s first twelve months of being alive, she is to be administered the supposedly called ‘core’ vaccines for her protection against certain contagious illnesses that are critical and fatal. Before, it was thought that the vaccinations administered in that first year should be boosted with annual additional shots to keep the protection active. However, recent study evidence says that not every vaccine needs to get boosted annually. In addition, it cannot be proven that yearly booster shots are a benefit to all cats. To make sure that your pet cat’s protection against a certain illness is still active, your veterinarian could perform tests on her blood, measuring the levels of antibodies (antibody titer), determining if your pet needs a booster shot. One thing about these tests on antibody titer is that they tend to be more costly than the booster shots. It could stress out your pet cat too. Then, there is the possibility that high antibody levels do not necessarily mean that your pet is protected enough if exposed to a more potent mutation of the illness.
