Figure the chances of something biting her and that the something
might be rabid and might pass that on to her vs possible issues with
the vaccine. Remembering of course that she is young and compromised
as is.

Good point.
All this talk about vaccinations made me think about my FeLV +
kitten. I hadn't even thought about it until today but she's old
enough for a rabies shot. She's about four and a half months old
right now. Do you think I should get one for her? She does go into
my backyard but I have a cat fence and she can't get out. It's
possible she could get bitten by something in the yard I guess, but
not likely. I guess I should get a rabies shot for her just in
case. What do you guys think? I know legally I'm supposed to but
I'm not worried about that right now, I just don't want to give her
unnecessary vaccinations. Maybe I'll just wait until she's about 6
months old.
“I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results
that are profitable to the human race or doesn’t….the pain which it
inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward
it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without
looking further.” – Mark Twain

Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] neutering a positive cat
Some vets seem to think enforcing a law that puts the burden of
vaccination on the owner is the vets responsibility....not so.

My daughter took her cat to the vet in Ohio to get dental work done.
The cat is 13, was bottle raised by her, and has NEVER set foot
outside. He has no idea what "outside" is. Yet, they informed her
that they would not touch her cat without giving him a rabies
vaccine. It is strictly a county law. The next county over didn't
require a rabies shot. So, she text me from the vet and said "I
lied, I told them he had a rabies shot". They let it go at that,
thankfully. My daughter was trying to do what she could to keep him
from an unnecessary vaccination. And, it worked!!

However, if a cat is strictly indoors, one can easily get away with
not giving them rabies vaccines…who would know?
