Cat Vaccines Required Before Renting in Bangkok: A Complete Checklist

Cat vaccinations are not just about health — they are also a document many Bangkok landlords require before allowing pets. Here is everything you need to know about which vaccines are essential and when to get them.

Core Vaccines Every Cat Needs

Core vaccines are recommended regardless of your cat’s lifestyle. The FVRCP vaccine (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia) — commonly called the “3-in-1” — is the foundation. Rabies vaccination is also required by law in many areas and almost always requested by landlords.

Vaccination Schedule for Kittens

Start at 6–8 weeks with FVRCP dose 1. Give dose 2 at 10–12 weeks, dose 3 plus rabies at 14–16 weeks. After that, annual boosters are required. Always follow your vet recommendation.

Non-Core Vaccines to Consider

Depending on your cat environment, consider FeLV (Feline Leukemia) for cats that go outside or live with other cats, FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis), and Chlamydia — relevant if living in multi-cat housing.

Documents to Prepare for Your Landlord

Most landlords accept: a pet health record stamped by a licensed clinic, a vaccination certificate showing vaccine type, date given, and next booster date, plus a recent health certificate confirming your cat is healthy and non-infectious.

Cost of Vaccinations in Bangkok

FVRCP runs around 300–600 THB per session. Rabies costs 200–400 THB. Health check 200–500 THB. A full vaccination visit typically costs 700–1,500 THB.
