Is it mandatory to give feral cats any innoculations? Are feral cats given a one-year or three-year rabies vaccination?
It depends on the ordinances in your community. In Cook County reasonable efforts should be made to re-trap the cat for another three-year rabies vaccination every three years. At Tree House we give a three-year rabies vaccination, which is the most beneficial for a feral cat that may never be back for a booster. As far as the “distemper” FV RCP vaccination, it does provide significant protection for a year even if only given once.
