Rabies is not required where we live and my vet only gives the basic shots - none of the new things (FIP maybe??) - but now I am wondering if they needs shots at all. When I still had my geriatrics - RB Bert was so terrified of vets that he would faint My vet told me I could just skip shots at that point to avoid the stress. I will have to give this more thought because I would also rather just bring them in if something is wrong.
