In our state, it's the law that all cats have to get vaccinated against rabies. If something should arise and the cat needed medical treatment, the vet can refuse to treat the cat if there's no documented proof of vaccination.
That being said, I highly recommend the annual rabies vaccine when possible. The 3 year vaccine contains a preservative that can cause FVAC (Feline Vaccine Accelerated Sarcoma) in a cat.... there's a 1 in 10,000 chance of this, but guess what?!?!? Our cat happened to be the unlucky 1 Thankfully, our vet removed the tumor in it's entirety and she didn't have to amputate her hind leg. No traces of cancer left and it's been 7 years now
