I would take her to the vet just for a regular check up and just get the required shots u won't need the shots for things they catch outside if there an indoor cat so don't let the vet try to get u to get those shots so they make more money hope that helped.

Just find a vet near you and take them in let them no she has never been to a vet before (ask your friend to make sure) and tell the vet you want her checked out and to get her first round of shots. They will need to do a blood test and the office visit plus shots will run over a hundred dollars. Also you will want to get her in to get fixed if she isn't already (which doesn't sound like it). So I would talk to the vet about it.

Congratulations on a new member of your family! You'll need to take her to the vet. She'll need some tests, and depending on her age you may need to start looking into getting her spayed. A cat in heat is a whole lot of trouble that frequently leads to more kittens in need of homes!
If she's over a certain age, she'll also be getting her shots. This is a legal requirement in the US, and quite a few other countries as well. Don't put off getting her the shots, you may think that it wouldn't happen to YOUR kitty, but everyone thinks that and some of them are wrong.
Take the time to take care of her and you'll have a wonderful, loving companion for years to come.

Go to the vet with this new addition to your home ASAP. Your vet will tell you that even if she has had some shots, it's better to be safe than sorry and start over. This way you will know that your cat will be healthy. Once she has had her rabies shot, your vet will then recomend when to have her spayed.
Good luck with your new family member!

Just call a vet, make an appointment and get her in to get her shots. I need to do the same thing actually. Mine has had her's but they are outdated.

Take it to the vet and have her shots, get her on schedule to be spayed and she should be fine. Happy cat owning.
