I lived for 30 years in Broward/Palm Beach counties. I never had an EVet
ask for proof of rabies. Nor did referral Vets. Eventually they would want
a history, but I was never asked "up front".

Where in FL? (just general, I don't need specifics)

>That is why I think it is important for a felv cat owner to try to find
an integrative vet. They don't believe in over vaccination and will still
treat your animal. Of course it could still be a problem if your cat
needed emergency care. Something to ask the vet if you found one. Somehow
in New York at Dr. Goldstein's clinic they find a way. People go there
from all over the world to have their pets treated for very serious
illnesses. And he sends his patients out to other vets who do surgeries or
other procedures and he does not over vaccinate. Maybe he has found like
minded regular vets to work with. I just wish I could have a network like
that here in Florida.
