Cat Vaccination Schedule & Prices in Pakistan (2026)
Kittens in Pakistan need a core FVRCP-type vaccine at 6–8 weeks, boosters every 3–4 weeks until about 16 weeks (2–3 shots total), and rabies at 12–16 weeks — then boosters as your vet advises, commonly yearly here. Expect Rs 1,000–2,500 per core shot at a Lahore clinic, or Rs 1,500–3,500 at home including the visit.
The schedule
| Age | Vaccine | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 6–8 weeks | FVRCP #1 (panleukopenia + herpesvirus + calicivirus) | Maternal immunity fades; panleukopenia ('cat parvo') is common and lethal in PK |
| 10–12 weeks | FVRCP #2 | Booster while maternal antibodies stop blocking the vaccine |
| 14–16 weeks | FVRCP #3 | Final kitten booster — the series is what protects, not one shot |
| 12–16 weeks | Rabies | Rabies is endemic in Pakistan; protects your cat and your family |
| Yearly (adult) | FVRCP + rabies boosters | High local disease pressure — follow your vet's interval |
What it costs (Lahore, 2026)
| Shot | Clinic | At home (incl. visit) |
|---|---|---|
| FVRCP (core) | Rs 1,000 – 2,500 | Rs 1,500 – 3,500 |
| Rabies | Rs 1,500 – 3,000 | add visit component |
| Full first-year series (kitten) | ≈ Rs 4,000 – 9,000 | ask vets to quote the series |
Two practical tips: ask vets to quote the whole kitten series, not one shot — many will discount it. And keep every shot dated in one place; MatchVet saves each vaccine and its due date to your cat's profile automatically. Full market context: vet prices in Lahore.
Frequently asked questions
Do indoor cats in Pakistan need vaccines?
Yes. Panleukopenia and respiratory viruses travel on shoes, clothes, and other pets, and rabies vaccination matters anywhere unvaccinated street animals exist — which is everywhere in Pakistan. Indoor life lowers risk; it doesn't remove it.
What if my kitten missed a booster?
Don't just repeat the same shot late and continue — the protocol may need restarting depending on the gap. Tell the vet the exact dates of previous shots (MatchVet keeps them in your pet's record) and let them reschedule the series properly.
Why are yearly boosters still common in Pakistan?
In countries with low disease pressure, some core boosters stretch to every three years. Pakistan has high exposure risk — dense street-animal populations, endemic rabies, and inconsistent cold-chain history for some vaccines — so most vets here sensibly advise yearly boosters. Follow your own vet's judgment for your cat.
Can my cat be vaccinated at home in Lahore?
Yes — home vaccination is one of MatchVet's most-booked services. A verified vet brings the vaccine to your doorstep (typically Rs 1,500–3,500 per shot including the visit), which spares cats the carrier-and-clinic stress that often makes them harder to handle.
Are cheap market vaccines safe?
The vaccine itself matters less than its cold chain — a good vaccine stored warm is a useless vaccine. That's the strongest reason to have a verified vet source and administer shots rather than buying vials from general markets or online listings.
