Great question! Certain vaccines can now be given once every three years, such as FVRCP (feline distemper combo) and a Rabies vaccine. It depends on the brand of vaccine given. You will need to speak with your vet when you have Coffee vaccinated about how often they need to be repeated. I hope this helps!

    Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! In general, yes, adult cats should get the same vaccines yearly or once every 3 years for certain vaccines. Rabies vaccine is given once every year or once every 3 years. The feline Rhinotracheitis- Calicivirus- Panleukopenia (Feline Distemper) vaccine is given once every year or once every 3 years. Feline Leukemia vaccine is given to cats that are outdoors or considered indoor/outdoor and this is given once yearly. I hope this helps!
