My girl Hima was already an adult/almost an adult back in late 2017 when she showed up in my yard. She had a runny nose back then but she shook it off quickly. She was spayed with no shaved hair so it shouldn't have been a recent surgery. I don't know her vaccine history. If she got her kitten vaccines done.
I haven't had her vaccinated to this date with FVRCP. She goes out to the yard and interacts with the street cats daily. I read a lot about vaccinations including Lisa Pierson's website and SkeptVet. I'm still not decided. I'm most worried for the panleukopenia part of the FVRCP of course and I think it's the best to at least get her vaccinated once now.

- I'm worried for the vaccine triggering another health problem. Especially because she has feline coronavirus, and she may still have liver sensitivity after her 2019 infection although she hasn't been ill since. Would a basic hemogram be enough before the vaccine or should I also get her kidneys and liver checked at least?
- Would a single dose of FVRCP be enough? One vet said since she's adult even if she didn't get vaccinated before a single dose would be fine. All the other vets say they follow the kitten "two dose one month apart" route if they don't know the vaccine history of a cat? If I go for a second dose I would first want to get antibodies checked but is that even necessary? (My main issue here every vet visit is also risky for her health as she gets super stressed.)
- My options are Fellocell 3 from Zoetis, or Tricat from Nobivac, or Biofel from Bioveta. I read side effects about the first two but they are super commonly used so it's probably that. I haven't read any side effects about BioVeta but also read no feedback at all, good or bad. Biofel PCH, emulsion for injection for cats
