Cats adapt well to Pattaya life, and many live happily as indoor or indoor-outdoor pets. The heat, parasites, traffic and free-roaming animals all still apply — the guides below cover what a cat owner here needs. Start with indoor or outdoor cats if you are new to keeping a cat in Pattaya. Many owners adopt from Hope for Strays or Dog & Cat Rescue Pattaya.
