Hi I have 2 cats who are just over a year old they've been indoor cats but because we're going away we've booked them into a cattery and they have just completed their injections are they ok to go into to the cattery.

If they are fully vaccinated they should be fine to stay at a cattery. Make sure the the cats don't have direct physical contact with other while there. Anytime pets are boarded together there is always a small risk of illness but if they are young healthy and vaccinated cats the risk should be minimal.
