About 10 years ago I cat was dropped off on my neighbors lawn w / 3 kittens. We took the cat and the kittens in, raised the kittens to maturity and found homes for them. We kept the cat. Immediately we took her to my vet at the time, VCA Animal Hospital, on Bristol Road in Trevose, PA. She was supposedly vaccinated for all of the diseases that cats are subjected to. We became very fond of our cat, Kuma over the next few years. About 4 years after we had taken her for her original vaccinations she started acting strangely. We took her to the vet-VCA Animal Hospital, and they did blood work on her. They informed us that she had Feline Leukemia, which she should have been vaccinated for when we originally took her there. I was outraged and very saddended to find out that she didn't have a lot of time to live. I had no records to show that she should have recieved the vaccine and the hospital pretty much said oh well. Needless to say I know longer deal w / that vet and I tell everyone I know not to go there. Surprisingly my cat Kuma lived for 6 more years after she was diagnosed w / feline leukemia. She recently died at the age of 10. I miss her terribly and I do not want anyone else to go through what I did. If you have a dog or cat make sure you keep records of what they have been vaccinated for and what they should be vaccinated for so you don't go through what I did.
