If You Think Indoor Cats Don’t Need Vaccines—Think Again

Many cat owners in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Paradise Valley assume that vaccines are only necessary for outdoor cats. But did you know that even strictly indoor cats are at risk for certain viruses and diseases?
At Phoenix Mobile Veterinarians and Animal Hospital, we educate pet parents every day on the importance of feline vaccines—whether you have a kitten, an adventurous explorer, or a senior couch companion.

💉 The Most Important Cat Vaccines (And Why They Matter)

Vaccinating your cat is about preventing disease before it starts. Here's what we recommend for cats in Arizona:

1. Rabies Vaccine

  • Protects against a fatal, zoonotic virus
  • Exposure risk even from indoor cats if a bat or wildlife enters your home

2. FVRCP (Feline Distemper Combo)

  • Covers three major viruses: rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia
  • Airborne and spread through shared spaces—even grooming visits

3. FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus)

  • Recommended for outdoor cats or indoor cats with exposure risk
  • Can spread through saliva, water bowls, and mutual grooming
Your cat's lifestyle will determine their ideal vaccine schedule, which our veterinary team tailors during each visit.
