[quote=Anonymous]OP--we just went through this exact thing. I do not think you're a bad pet owner for not taking your cats to the vet regularly if they're strictly indoor and do not have any medical issues. Our cat is strictly indoor, is never boarded, and very elderly, so we try not to transport him around if we can avoid it. He last had his rabies shot in 2016 and it expired last fall. We decided we'd like to start looking at rescues for a dog, and I did disclose to the first rescue place we looked at, that our cat had not been to the vet for three years for the reasons stated above. They did say we had to have his rabies up to date and have a recent vet visit on file in order to be considered, so we took him in, got him all up to date on his records/rabies, and were pre-approved.  They did not hold it against us that we hadn't taken him for a few years, but we were not able to be approved for adoption without  having his rabies updated and his well visit on file. hope that helps.
