I believe you mean the distemper vaccine. Feline distemper vaccine is a combination vaccine including feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia. You can give your local VetCo a call to make Oreo an appointment to get it done. At seven months of age, he should have one now, and another in four weeks to make sure he is fully protected. I hope this helps!

I'm sorry you didn't get an answer yesterday! The distemper shot does not fix temperament, it's to protect against a deadly disease in dogs. No, cats do not get distemper like dogs do, they get feline panleukopenia virus.
