Do I need to vaccinate an 8-year-old indoor cat I'm adopting?

Question

I might adopt an 8 year old cat. She never got any vaccines because she is a house cat and was never outside, so the owners didn't consider it necessary. They said she's in perfect condition and only had to go to the vet once because she ate sth bad. Should I adopt her like this (she wouldn't be outside of our home either) or should I take her to the vet and let it get vaccinated? Thank you!

I would have her vaccinated at least once and checked by your veterinarian to make sure everything is all right and she does have any health issue. Basic vaccination would include RCP (herpesvirus, calicivirus and panleucopenia virus) and FeLV (leukemia virus). Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
