Abstract

Overview: In 2013, the ABCD published ‘Matrix vaccination guidelines: ABCD recommendations for indoor/outdoor cats, rescue shelter cats and breeding catteries’ in a Special Issue of the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery (Volume 15, Issue 7, pages 540–544). The ABCD’s vaccination recommendations were presented in tabulated form, taking into account that there is no universal vaccination protocol for all cats. To support the veterinarian’s decision making, recommendations for four lifestyles were made: for cats with outdoors access, cats kept solely indoors, rescue shelter cats and cats in breeding catteries. This update article follows the same approach, offering current and, where relevant, expanded recommendations.
