Subject: 3 Year Rabies Vaccine

I also know that even though the 3 year vaccine is approved in cats, I
was
told that where I live cats are required to get the vaccine annually,
maybe
because more risk of rabies here? ( I am in NJ) The dogs get it every 3
years.

Thankfully the county I am in pays for the rabies, and all cats and dogs
can get free rabies shots, I am waiting for ferrets to be added to that
list ( hey, I can dream can't I?)
