Clinical review status: no licensed veterinarian has reviewed this publication. It is source-led general orientation, not veterinary advice, a diagnosis, a treatment plan or dosing guidance. Ask a qualified veterinarian about your pet.
Core and risk-based decisions
The 2024 WSAVA vaccination guidelines identify feline panleukopenia virus, feline herpesvirus and feline calicivirus vaccines as core for pet cats. Rabies vaccination follows local law and risk. Other decisions, including feline leukaemia virus vaccination, depend on age, exposure and test history.
Why there is no universal online schedule
Maternal antibodies, previous records, current illness, vaccine type and manufacturer instructions affect timing. Bring every certificate and label to the veterinarian. Do not restart, delay or combine vaccines from a generic calendar without clinical advice.
Thai rabies requirements
Thailand's Department of Livestock Development maintains the official Rabies Act B.E. 2535 legal hub. Ask a Thai veterinarian or the relevant DLD office to confirm the current requirement and documentation for your cat; the legal rule and locally licensed product take priority over an overseas schedule.
FeLV, FIV and new cats
The AAFP feline retrovirus guidelines explain why exposure history and test interpretation matter. A result is not a do-it-yourself diagnosis. Ask the veterinarian whether and when testing is appropriate, especially before introducing a new cat to resident cats.
Records and adverse events
Keep the date, product, batch if recorded, clinic, veterinarian and next review date. Ask what mild effects may be expected and what signs should trigger a call. If the cat develops breathing difficulty, collapse or rapidly worsening swelling after vaccination, contact an emergency veterinarian immediately.

Frequently asked
Which vaccines are core for cats?
WSAVA identifies vaccines against feline panleukopenia, herpesvirus and calicivirus as core for pet cats. Rabies follows local law and risk; a veterinarian must set the plan.
Is there one kitten schedule for every cat?
No. Age, maternal antibodies, product instructions, health and previous records affect timing. Use the schedule from the treating veterinarian.
Does Thai rabies law apply to cats?
Thailand's DLD publishes the Rabies Act and related rules. Confirm the current requirement and certificate details with a Thai veterinarian or DLD office.
Does every cat need FeLV vaccination?
It is a risk-based decision influenced by age and exposure. Discuss testing and vaccination with a veterinarian.
What vaccination records should I keep?
Keep the certificate and, where recorded, product, batch, date, clinic, veterinarian and next review date.
