.and on the same note, as the rabies providing immunity for up to 4 years, some states accept results of a titer to show that the animal is still protected, especially if an animal's immune system is compromised and too many vaccines aren't advisable. Find out if it applies in your states. Natalie

Interesting huh? I need to check out that group again to see if they've found anything else out or if it actually last longer than the 4 years even. I know they were doing more research studies. Will most vets give the 3 year one to a kitten? Most vets I've been to recommend that the kittens get the 1 year vaccination and then the next year they get the 3 year one. I'm sure the 3 year ones are safe for kittens I'm just wondering if the vets will actually let you do it. Then again, I'll probably wait until she's about 8 months old (if I still have her) so she won't really be a kitten anymore so it may not matter.
