Sue and Laura,
I've run into this adoption roadblock more than once, and I've interceded on behalf of my clients. Usually, it's a live person I talk to on the phone, explaining what "current" on vaccines really means (done years ago, still immune, damn it!"). I further assure them that these animals will be fortunate to land in this home, as my clients are dedicated to the best of health practices and notify me if they have a problem.
As far as I recall, that's worked every time. It just takes patience and a professional opinion to help sway them. Get your holistic vet on board, if there's a next time.
