Thanks for this comment. Our 2 healthy indoor only cats had their kitten shots before coming to us... as we adopted both of them through rescue orgs. Our all-knowing state of course requires the full service of vaccinations before these poor little babies can be adopted :( but now that they are safely in our care we have paid for the expensive full set of titers on each of them (at the Vet's insistence) and he no longer pushes the issue of any further vacs. However, we are moving in a few weeks to a new city and county. The trip will be too far to continue seeing our current Vet. I interviewed a new Vet in the new city and am pleased that we will be great partners in my pet's healthcare. But, we will continue to not be pressured into unnecessary rabies vacs just to comply with city license laws. The Vet says the city won't accept titer test results in lieu of rabies vacs... so law breakers we will be I guess. It's unfortunate, but I'd rather be that than in the heartbreaking position of your original poster above...
