What vaccinations are recommended for my indoor cat's health?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 17 lbs

What vaccines does my Indoor cat need? He is about 6 years old and we feel he is over weight as he weighs 17-18 lbs. we feed him 3/4 of a scoop of blue buffalo weight reduction food. He also has a lot of tarter on back teeth and black marks on inside of lips any recommendations would be helpful. Thank you

For a strictly indoor cat (doesn't go outside AT ALL or escape the house on occasion and doesn't come into contact with any other cats that are outdoors) we normally recommend a rabies vaccine and the Feline Distemper combination vaccination (often called FVRCP or DRCP) http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A
