Should you intend to have your kitty vaccinated at a Vetco clinic, here are the prices: https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/ You should have her also tested for FIV and FeLV. She should be vaccinated against FVRCP as a core vaccine, rabies, and wormed against round and tape worms. Thanks for taking care of this kitty!

    Crying is a sign of distress or pain. Bring her into any vets to have her scanned for a microchip in case she is lost. If you plan of keeping her, you will want her tested for Felv/FIV, checked/treated for internal and external parasites and spayed (if this is not already done). Vaccine wise, if she will be strictly indoors, she will need FVRCP and Rabies. If she will continue to go outside, she will need those two vaccines and Felv. Information including pricing can be found for the Vetco vaccine clinics offered by Petco at: https://www.vetcoclinics.com/ I hope this helps.
