Does my 12-year-old indoor cat still need vaccines and deworming?

Question

Does a 12 yr old indoor cat need immunizations for leukemia and Feline 3 in 1? Round/Hookworm dewormer? Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | spayed | 11 years and 8 months old | 11 lbs

Hello, thank you for your question about Priscilla. In general most veterinarians do not recommend the feline leukemia vaccine unless the cat goes outside. I would still recommend still getting the FVRCP (or feline 3 in 1 vaccine) for Priscila; these viruses/diseases can be life threatening. Additionally, having Priscila dewormed is also still recommended, as cats can get a GI parasite infection through contact with mosquitoes and other insects. Hope this helps!
