I just wanted to agree with the previous comment. We used to have our cats annually vaccinated but then Amy developed a lump at the injection site at the back of the neck and our vet said sometimes they can turn cancerous. Amy and Sumba don't have annual jabs now as they are older and don't go into a cattery. We also ask the vet to inject into the fleshy bit of the thigh if they have to have a jab.

I read your story and I don't advise you give her any more rabies shots as long as you keep her and any other cats you have inside. I say this because I had a cat, Gwen, who is now gone that got VAS, vaccine associated sarcoma, from her rabies shot. This was about 11 years ago now. She was 7 years old at the time. They did want to remove her leg but I said no. I was lucky because I had found a website at the time advising that a cancer vet do the surgery rather than my regular vet. Again I was lucky having a cancer vet in my area. She had the tumor removed and lived 6 more years. I had two strictly indoor cats at the time and they didn't get any more shots. All cats need at least their initial rabies vaccine and if they go outdoors probably need routine shots so everyone has to decide for them self. Just be aware that it can happen.
