I too no longer get my cats vaccinated although it was initially a challenge to find a vet who'd agree to this. For those who are contemplating the cessation of vaccinations, I found that it wasn't very productive to talk to receptionists at veterinary practices who seemed unwilling to veer from the standard practice of "you have to have them vaccinated because it's illegal not to" but rather, to talk to the actual vet herself/himself.
I forwarded the raw food article to my cats' vet, who practices both Western and complementary medicine and this was her response:
"Not all diets are good for all animals! That being said, if there are no contraindications then I advise raw..with bones for example from Bravo...and there are other companies as well. Yes there are risks which I insist that the owners informs themselves about but if a raw diet is appropriate for that animal and they'll eat it then yes by all means"
