Take her to a veterinarian for an exam - while she may look healthy at a glance, a vet can make sure she doesn't have any hidden problems.
While she's there, have her tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV. Bring a stool sample so they can test for internal parasites. Assuming she's healthy, vaccinate her - she'll need a rabies and an FVRCP combo vaccine. If she's going to go outdoors, she'll also need a leukemia vaccine.
Spay her, assuming she hasn't already been spayed - they can check this by shaving some fur on her tummy to look for a scar from previous surgery.
Once all this is done, she'll just need an annual checkup and booster vaccines. And, of course, lots of love and petting and toys. :)
