Hi, Janice!
My Vet also discontinued some of the vaccines after advancing maturity. The county requires the rabies vaccine annually, but after Kitty became diabetic, they stopped administering everything else that might be too stressful. It probably just depends on your cat's overall health, whether it is allowed to go outside, and whether it is around other cats. There is a lot of stuff on the internet, both accurate and false, so it is best to speak to the vet, or contact the professors at the University's Veterinary College. They often have a hot-line and accept questions via email. Talk show "experts" sometimes lead people astray with their babble or sensational-speak for ratings.
I taught college level physiology and the things that average people believe CAUSE cancer are sometimes just plain crazy notions. Please don't get caught up in the hype. In general, cats are subject to other common ailments and are more like to contract harmful diseases if they do not get vaccines.

I've heard the same thing about cats getting cancer from their annual vaccinations, and my vet also has read about it. He gave my kitten, Hoshi, her kitten vaccinations in her leg because he said the vaccinations given in the neck/shoulder area are those that mainly cause the problems. He also recommended not getting vaccinations or getting them as often if the kitties don't go outside and/or aren't exposed to strange kitties.

This whole idea is rubbish. It sounds like one of those urban legends! Your cat should be vacinated as a kitten and once a year as an adult cat. Have you ever seen a cat die of distember? It is a very distressing site and a simole vaccination prevents it. The so called cat lady is a complete fraud. She is probaly on of these animal rights peope and has wierd ideas. All my cats have lived long healthy lifes because of vaccinations. If you love your cats get them vaccinated. If not it does not matter.
