Hi,
My cat will be 3 years old in August. Her vet schedule called for her to have her distemper shot done again last month. I completely forgot about it, and now we need to board her tomorrow for a few days. The kennel has no problem with it. Actually, they expressed that they feel cats are over-vaccinated for distemper and that it only needs to be done every 2-3 years. I could get my cat in for an appointment either this afternoon or evening, and so I'm not sure what to do. She last had distemper shot March 2012. I'm thinking that it could easily wait another week or even longer. Any thoughts? I've done some research that seems to support the idea that they really don't need it every year. My cat is strictly an indoor cat. And at the kennel she is in a room with only cats and is in a cage by herself.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Keith
