I've brought several cats into the house without first getting shots. Your biggest concern should be fleas because they are really hard to get rid of. Three of our four cats came home with eat mites, but those are easy to take care of and don't spread (from my experience). The only thing I've ever worried about was Feline Leukemia because it is eventually fatal and the cats need medications for majority of their lives. It is spread from blood contact, which in most cases is hard for cats unless they are really aggressive. I had all four of mine tested for Feline Leukemia and all of them have tested negative, although, I would have kept them either way. Good luck and have fun with the kitties!

I'm glad you read the ingredients on 9 Lives, lol, that stuff is nastey! And I'm glad you are choosing to go with the premium brands! That's what I would do if I didn't have so many gosh darn kitties and wasn't still in College
