Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, cats should be vaccinated. The most common and important ones are the FeLV, rabies, panleukopenia virus and calicivirus. I highly recommend you have her evaluated by your veterinarian to start her on a vaccination schedule. At the same time, your veterinarian could also address other things that have to do with basic care like deworming and flea prevention, among other things. Good luck!
