Thanks Everyone.  I am lucky in that my vets have never recommended over vaccinating.  Other than rabies, which is required yearly by law in our state, we have never done additional vaccinating on my cats (current and prior) as they are indoor cats only.  It's part of the struggle with

Rabies is not necessary on indoor cats, but it's required by law in your state. I would get a second opinion on vaccinating your cats on a regular basis, other then rabies, because even you can bring in a disease that can make your cat sick. Especially cats who are Felv + need their yearly

You can test at any age, the question is whether the test result will be correct, or a false positive... If you can keep him isolated in your bathroom (the best isolation ward at our house) until he is over 3 months old, test result efficacy improves. Are your other cats negative or positive

Rabies may be not be required by law for indoor cats, depending on your local. Even so, they're not going to come in your house to check on your house cats. For FELV, I've read quite a bit that healthy adult cats have a good immunity to it whether they're vaccinated or not. Gloria On
