But he carries a certificate says he’s healthy, was tested negative for several tests, and has all shots including rabies up to date. Why do I need to take him to see a vet?

Congratulations! I assume he is already neutered? The idea of going to see a vet is to have a meet and greet and establish a timetable for future visits- probably just annual shots.

Yes, he’s neutered. He is a sweet and social 2YO cat, not pushy at all. We were slowly introducing him to our house and our dog, but he was eager to explore and meet everyone. He didn’t show too much interest in our dog, but inspected the rooms like a majestic king. He’s a wonderful addition to our family.
