both of my kitties were vaccinated when they adopted me . they NEVER go outside - i lost my first one to a rattlesnake in the dunes of st. augustine beach, a hard lesson to learn - so since then, they are spoiled rotten inside kitties with HUGE windows and french doors to sit in. once a year i vaccinate them for rabies because it IS the law, but other than that, they are happy, healthy, content kitties!
