Is it possible for a 3 year old cat that has never had any vaccinations before to only have the 1st vaccination and then be admitted into a boarding situation (before the next vacc is due)? OR does it have to have to have had its second vaccination (in a months time) before it is allowed.
I have had varying opinions from both vets and boarding establishments and would like to hear others views on this.
We own a boarding kennel and cattery and have always required cats to have had their full vaccination (3 vacc's) as a kitten before entry, or if it is an older cat , to have a course of 2 vaccinations a month apart before we would admit them.
I have been told that if the cat has one vaccination it would be then able to come after 10 days even though it may be its first vaccination ever.
The boarding kennels code of practise indicates (as far as l can tell) that this is possible , but looking at other boarding cattery websites they all seem to be requiring the full vaccination to have been done before admitting cats.
Any input from other catterys etc would be greatly appreciated...
