Not usually. Most rabies vaccines for cats last between one to three years, depending on the kind used. Call your vet and ask which vaccine your cat had and when it needs to be renewed.

No, in the United States rabies vaccines come in 1 or 3-year formulations. If you are concerned about giving your cat vaccines, you can have a veterinarian perform a titer (immunity test)to see if the antibodies are still active.

Some experts state that the vaccine can be effective for at least 3 years in a cat. Others feel one vaccination induces life-long immunity in 95 percent of animals.

Rabies vaccines are only good for one year on any animal, and must be repeated annually. It is often illegal not to have a pet properly vaccinated for rabies.
