I don't think the law requires the vet to give it. The pet is required to have it regardless, which would make the responsibility fall on me. In that case, order the vaccine online, pull it up into a syringe, and squirt it down the toilet, and call the cat vaccinated. No-one can say you DIDN'T

They've thought of that. We can give FELV and FVRCP vaccines, but rabies shots must be administerd by a veterinarian (not even a vet tech...a veterinarian licensed to practice in the state of TX) or they don't count. I also cannot legally place a cat over the age of 3 months without a valid

Even liberal California requires vet involvement in the rabies vaccine. Even if a vet tech gives the actual injection, the vet has to oversee and verify. It's the vet's license number on the rabies certificate. Don't make assumptions where vaccines are mandated by law. You have to check
