When Can We Safely Let Our Kitten Outdoors?
|
| |
| |
|
Dear Dr. Baum--
When can I let my kitten Dusty outside?
Linda Hendry, Prestwick, Scotland
Dear Linda --
He can start going outside as soon as his
vaccinations are completed. As an indoor/outdoor cat he should be
tested for Felv / FIV viruses and then receive FVRCP/FeLV vaccines
at 8, 12 and 16 weeks. Depending on the Rabies situation in your
area, he could possibly need a Rabies vaccine at 4 months of age.
But before letting him out, you should consider the perils that will
be encountered -- other cats, predators (animal and human) as well
as automobiles. A rural environment is more conducive for a happy
existence as an outdoor cat. The more that you create an
interesting, fun environment in your house, the more content your
kitty will be as an inside cat
Good luck!
Dr. B
