Cats can be successfully inoculated against many serious feline diseases. Kittens should be inoculated against rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia, and, optionally, chlamydia.
Most veterinarians recommend a series of two or three inoculations, given every three weeks starting at six weeks of age. After twelve weeks of age, a kitten may also be inoculated against rabies, feline leukemia, and feline peritonitis. Inoculations should be repeated every year to maintain immunity.

Claws aren't just for your cat's protection. They are also responsible for balance, climbing, stretching and running. Declawing not only physically afflicts a cat, it maims and psychologically anguishes them.

Home Remedy
If your cat sustains a wound which you believe to be infected, you can sprinkle activated charcoal directly on to the area. This will aid in the healing process almost immediately! Activated charcoal is available at most health food stores.
*note*

This remedy will help to clear up the infection, but your cat should always see a vet after sustaining any injury.
