They should get the standard feline vaccines, and rabies if it's required by your state. Some advise against modified live versions of the vaccines so if your cats have only received the killed virus vaccines in the past I would stick to that.

Hi hippy.
Not sure if my input here is of any relevance, we don't get rabies vaccine here unless leaving the country. As for the other diseases the booster covers, I think it would be the same in US, usually the booster covers Fel panleukopenia , Fel calcivirus, Fel leukemia and rhinotracheaitis.
Boosters for such nasties are usually given over here in the UK at yearly or 3yr intervals.
My vets have always advised killed vaccines as Patti has mentioned.

Modified Live was what made Bella sick. So now we only get killed virus vaccines and have not had any issues.

We just use FVRCP (with NO Leukemia vaccine included!) and Rabies.

No Feline Leukemia unless the cat goes outside. FVRCP and Rabies is all that is necessary.
