PUREVAX vaccines are designed for cats and kittens and deliver a robust, effective immune response without the need for adjuvants. The PUREVAX Feline Rabies vaccines and PUREVAX Recombinant FeLV vaccine (feline leukemia virus) vaccine have been developed using state-of-the-art technology to provide safe and effective vaccines for these diseases without the use of adjuvants.

An adjuvant is a substance that is added to a vaccine to increase the body’s immune response to the vaccine. Adjuvants have been associated with injection site reaction, injection site granuloma, and chronic inflammation in cats.

PUREVAX feline vaccines are made without the use of adjuvants.

We only carry PUREVAX vaccines:

Rabies:

Rabies is a devastating disease. Once clinical signs have appeared, it is always fatal. The rabies virus attacks the central nervous system of an animal, leading to an agonizing death. The virus is usually transmitted via the saliva of a rabid animal through a bite wound, but it is possible for transmission to occur through contamination of scratch wounds or through mucosal membranes. Because rabies can be transmitted from infected animals to humans, it can pose a serious public health concern if an outbreak is suspected or reported. Many states have laws requiring rabies vaccination for cats.

Feline Leukemia Virus:

Feline Leukemia occurs worldwide and is a very serious infection in cats. The infection is primarily spread through the saliva or urine of an infected cat following direct contact – mutual grooming, shared food bowls and litter boxes, and less commonly bite wounds. Kittens are especially vulnerable, and can contract the infection before or after birth from an infected mother. Persistently infected cats can appear healthy for extended periods of time before showing signs of illness. The virus attacks the cat’s immune system, leading to immune suppression, increased risk of certain cancers, and bone marrow suppression.

Feline Upper Respiratory Disease Complex:

Infectious upper respiratory infections are very common in cats. There are a number of infectious agents that can cause and/or contribute to these infections. Two of the most common causes are viruses — feline viral rhinotracheitis (feline herpesvirus, type 1) and feline calicivirus. Because upper respiratory infections are so common in cats, many pet owners know that the signs include fever, sneezing, runny nose, and loss of appetite. A rather large percentage of cats can become carriers of feline herpesvirus and/or feline calicivirus after they clinically recover from infection. These cats may appear clinically normal, but the virus can become reactivated (and the cat can develop clinical signs again) after some type of stressful event.

Feline Panleukopenia:

The feline panleukopenia virus is a parvovirus. It is found worldwide and is very contagious for cats and some other animals. Panleukopenia is spread when a cat or kitten comes in contact with the virus from an infected animal’s feces or other secretions. It can even be spread through contact with items (including bedding, food dishes, and a person’s clothing) contaminated by an infected animal. The virus is very resistant and can survive in the environment for long periods of time. Once a cat becomes infected, signs can include lethargy, fever, loss of appetite, frequent vomiting, and sometimes death. Kittens tend to be the most severely affected.
