The sad part is that there is no vaccine for the disease and treatment is expensive and not always successful. Therefore vets suggest that you must take precautions with your feline friends during the tick bite season.
One of the things you can do is keep the cats indoors. If you are not able to do that, then keep your yard well maintained and decontaminated. Keep the grass short, as the ticks happen to lurk in the tall grass and latch onto the animals as they rub themselves against the grass. Keep an eye out for ticks on the animal and if you happen to have a dog as well, keep it tick free as well.
