My TNR'd cat turned one year old this month and has an appointment for vaccines tomorrow. (The TNR shelter only gives a rabies vaccine.)
I'm planning to request only the core FVRCP vaccine. I'm uncertain about any others, like FIV.
My main incentive for vaccinating her, outside of her health, is that I may want to bring her inside for a few nights this winter if we get hard freezes, and I don't want her bringing any contagious diseases inside where I have two healthy domestic cats.
From what I understand, even if she has FIV, it would be rare for my cats to contract it with only casual contact.
I'm wondering if anyone vaccinates their ferals and which vaccines do you choose? Should I do more than FVRCP? Also, they are likely to have to sedate her because I expect she will aggressively fight. That sort of makes me wonder if any vaccines are worthwhile.
