Hey. Is anyone around here a veterinary?

I have two sister cats who are 1 and a half year old. They were stray cats who ended up in a great shelter. They're in good health ritgh now but there is supposedly the yearly vaccine to be done. That would back me out of 200$ .

Question is, is it really important that i do this vaccine since theyre never going outside. Always eating healty ( **** they eat better **** than i do).

P.s: its not that im a cheap *******. Im having a really tough time these past months.

As my wife is a cat person, I strongly recommend having the vaccines done especially since they were strays. Being almost a year and a half old (which is like being 10) they could have multiple unseen things. Although cats are survivors, being out on their own in that length of time still exposes them to multiple hazards.

And if money is the problem, then talk to your vet to see if they can do a refinance, lay away type deal with you. I have only met 1 vet who was more interested in the money than the animals, as well as the owner's, well being.

Check your local cat charities as well, sometimes they are able to help with cost. I know pets can be expensive and usually when you can least afford it. That's why these charities exist

Now, I have no qualification to speak about medicine... Still, vaccines are supposed to immune for FUTURE illnesses, not past ones. If they were stray cats bear no weigh in this case. In case they got infected by cat's hiv or whatever it cannot be undone by an inoculation one year later. So, it looks like useless
