Rabies shots are given to help prevent the spread of rabies to animals. This has multiple benefits including the protection of the animal vaccinated from a deadly virus, the protection of other animals from exposure to rabies through the animal vaccinated and the protection of people from exposure to a rabid animal.

How much does the rabies shot for cats cost?
It really depends on age and what shots you're talking about. A cat needs an examination before it can be given a shot. This will probably run you around 100$. Rabies shots are REQUIRED and are around 50$. Total: 150$ However, as I said, it depends on how many shots and which ones you get. I don't buy the others since they ARE known to actually get cats sick. ALSO, please make sure your vet delivers them in a limb, not the torso. Usually, it's the right hind leg. (Shots have been proven to cause cancer and require amputation of the limb. Be wary and informed when getting your cats shots)
