However, consider that giving vaccinations does overload the immune system at
least until the cat develops the required immunity. NEVER give anything but the
rabies vaccination if the cat is going into surgery
Awesome! Thanks for that link and the note about the expense! I, too,

Good point about giving vaccines on intake. It is not effective to
protect other cats, or the ones being vaccinated.
I have boarded at a veterinarian's office a few times in the past, when
I had fewer cats. And once in the distant past at a pet store that had

Margo,
I don't think there is a 3 year Purevax Rabies yet is there?
I thought I read somewhere that it might last longer than a year, which it is
listed as now, but that
they hadn't officially decided to call it a 3 year. I would love to only have
to think about this every 3 years!

I have been vaccinating Harley for rabies because a bat got in the
garage a couple years ago. The bat was not caught and tested. That is
the only vaccine he gets, and when his FeLV progresses to an active
form, I will not vaccinate him anymore. I skipped a year between
vaccinations too
Almost all of you have suggested I not get the FVRCP vaccinations.
so I won't. These kittens are indoors only and have no contact with
AC. My rescues usually come from local people who dump them at my
rescue shelter.

This information was released today. Because yearly vaccinations are
the primary source of income for many
veterinarian practices, and because pharmaceutical companies have
lobbied against this protocol, this has
been a long time coming. This version is a compromise,
I think you can have titers run on the little one when she is older to see
what her immunity level is.I believe they are relatively
expensive compared to vaccinations but even rabies titers are accepted in
many states including Ky which is not a pet friendly state
belong to,
including cancer at the vaccination site and reactions
leading to downward spirals ending in death. It's
really scary, so I feel my kitties are safer w/o
vaccinations. If one does vaccinate, they should do
it in a place that can be removed if cancer develops,
like the back legs.
Done---thanks, Nina.
