I'm kinda torn. Anyone have a opinion?

[SydneyH]

Yes, they most certainly do. Please do not skimp or delay, one shot needs to be given yearly (can't recall what it is though).

[Preds]

Yes!!! Please, for their safety and yours.

If you are going to need to board her anywhere, she will. Just something to think about.

[JustJules]

Yes, doesn't matter if your furbaby is indoor or outdoor, there are air born illness infections they can contract just from sniffing. Just because you keep you kitty indoors does not mean it is protected. Please get him/her the proper vaccinations if you love it and want only the best for it.

IMO, no, she/he doesn't. Even my vet feels that animals are over-vaccinated.

[SydneyH]

Jules, that's a good point. A vet will not provide medical attention without their shots, rabies maybe?

[Sabatini2]

I just had my indoor kitty to the ER, as well as my vet's, & she doesn't have a current rabies shot, & hasn't had one for 3 or 4 years now.

Kittens especially are over-vaccinated. But they do need a feline leukemia vaccine.

My indoor older cat hasn't had a rabies shot in years. Some groomers and vets that board will not take him without updated vaccines so I go elsewhere.

It's a personal choice. He's still alive and kicking at 19 and his vet of 19 yrs. doesn't insist he have any vaccines including rabies.

I think rabies vaccine is a must for all cats, but I do agree cats are over vaccinated.
