We are encouraging pet owners and community cat providers to make sure cats FVRCP vaccines (also known as feline distemper combo vaccines) are current. <\/p>\n<p>Feline panleukopenia is a preventable disease. Kittens can receive the first round of vaccines at 4-6 weeks of age and should receive boosters as recommended by a veterinarian. Adult cats should also be vaccinated to prevent illness. Panleukopenia is not contracted to humans or other pets such as dogs and is most harmful to kittens under 5 months of age.<\/p>\n<p>Our coalition partner, Humane Fort Wayne provides low-cost vaccines on a walk-in basis at their facility at 1333 Maycrest Drive in Fort Wayne if you are unable to schedule an appointment with your regular full-service veterinarian. Humane Fort Wayne offers routine vaccines and is not meant as a replacement for a full-service veterinarian. They do not provide services for sick\/injured pets. <\/p>\n<p>The shelter is seeking the community&#8217;s immediate help to avoid an increase in spread of this virus.<\/p>\n<p>Fort Wayne Animal Care &#038; Control is an open access shelter and will never turn away an animal from within Allen County. Anyone struggling to care for their animal can contact the shelter for assistance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='caef48248502bfb20c9abebfd1363152' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
