Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding a situation that my new kitty and I find ourselves in. I adopted this 10-month-old kitty less than a week ago. The people at the shelter where I got her told me that she has been through many hardships in her short life. She was found last August, taken to a no-kill shelter, vaccinated and spayed, adopted out in November, and was abandoned at a vet's office a couple of weeks later. This shelter takes very good care of the cats that come through its doors, and to help them get adopted, it even takes care of most of the major vaccinations... with the exception of the rabies shot.
Now I come to my predicament. I live in an apartment building and I need to provide my landlord with documentation regarding her vaccination record. The pet agreement for my building states that any cat living here must have had a rabies shot. The shelter was able to provide me with the veterinary documents for all of the vaccinations that it covered, but they had no way of knowing whether or not the people who adopted her for a couple of weeks back in November had her vaccinated for rabies. I'm really worried about over vaccinating her as I've read online how most rabies shots for cats usually last 2 to 3 years. However, I don't want to violate the terms of the pet agreement and risk incurring any penalties that may result from that.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
