I agree with what's been said. We have two indoor cats and our vet advised AGAINST vaccine. Luckily there are still vets out there who don't just want to make money and actually have our cats' health in mind.

 

The older cat was Colin's before and he just never got them after she was spayed. We got a 6 month kitten last year and I took him for his first visit expecting the vet to do them and he listed all the reasons he's against vaccinating indoor cats (all which have been mentioned- allergies & reactions)

 

FI's sister vaccinates her 3 cats every year, and I have honestly never met any cats with as many health problems as them.

 

One of the most convincing arguments my vet told me was that there is no research or studies that show that cat vaccines actually work. The only study ever done was in England and it used a sample of 10,000 cats- which is way way too small of a sample. And one study! And the results were therefore inconclusive.

He recommends rabies vaccines for outdoor cats and that's it.

I have two indoor cats and haven't got them vaccinated either except for when they were kittens. I honestly just don't think it's necessary.

 

However, when we go away for the wedding, I will need to kennel them at the vets and they require they are all caught up on their shots... I'm really nervous about doing that now because they seemed fine without them.. waaahhh

they are indoor cats, but we occasionally take them for walks on leashes - but only on our property...i know, crazy cat lady, but they think they're dogs. we also occasionally take ed to the pet store b/c he loves to climb from cat tree to cat tree and watch the birds. other than that, they don't come in contact with any other animals.

 

please keep the advice coming...i'm still torn...

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
