You sure get a gold star for trying to help your family and a pet in need! Good luck with finding the right loving combination!

Vaccine-induced Sarcoma is a big issue for cat owners. Most vets are now aware that giving large numbers of shots in the same place each time (usually near the neck and shoulder blades) can cause the immune system to go wild.

When you take your cat for shots, be sure and ask the vet about this issue. Some shots can be given to last 3 years instead of every year. Some shots may not be needed at all in your situation. If you go to one of the low-cost shot clinics, be sure and ask also. They often get so busy that they just pick the easiest target...which might not be the best for your cat!

Even though I lost my 6 yr old Daisy to this problem, I still get my other cats vaccinated . Be informed and protect your loving kitties!
