My new cat has no vaccine records. When should she get her shots?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years and 1 month old

I recently bought a cat from a lady who had to get rid of her due to moving to a property that does not allow pets. The advert said she is chipped and vaccinated, but did not provide any evidence or dates of when vaccines are due again. When should I take her to the vets for a booster?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Jinx. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian now. Unfortunately, if you do not have any proof of her vaccines, you need to assume that she is not properly vaccinated. She will need to start over on her vaccines to ensure that she is fully protected. She can be scanned for a microchip at the same visit. I hope this information helps!
