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 |
One vaccine, four names
The single most confusing thing about vaccinating a cat in Pakistan is that the same injection goes by several names. A vet may say FVRCP, a shop may say 4-in-1, and the vial may be labelled PCH. These are the same core vaccine. Only rabies is genuinely a separate injection.
| What you'll hear or read | What it actually is | Brands commonly seen here |
|---|---|---|
| FVRCP / 4-in-1 / PCH / core shot | Panleukopenia + herpesvirus + calicivirus (± chlamydia) | Biofel PCH, Nobivac Tricat, Fel-O-Vax, Purevax |
| Rabies / anti-rabies injection | Rabies — a separate shot, never inside the 4-in-1 | Rabisin, Nobivac Rabies, Defensor |
| PCHR / 5-in-1 | Core shot with rabies combined into one vial | Biofel PCHR |
If a price sounds surprisingly low, ask which of these you are actually being quoted for — a core-only shot and a core-plus-rabies shot are different products, and that alone explains many of the gaps between quotes.
What it costs in Pakistan (2026)
| Shot | Clinic | At home (incl. visit) |
|---|---|---|
| FVRCP / 4-in-1 (core) | Rs 2,500 – 5,500 · median 4,000 | ≈ Rs 5,000 |
| Rabies | Rs 2,500 – 5,500 · median 4,000 | ≈ Rs 5,000 |
| A year of shots (core + rabies) | ≈ Rs 8,000 | ≈ Rs 10,000 |
Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad sit in broadly the same band; smaller cities often run cheaper, though reliable cold storage is harder to verify the further you get from a major clinic. Breed makes no difference to the schedule or the price — a Persian, Siamese, or street-rescue kitten needs the same core series, and any quote that varies by breed is pricing your attachment, not the medicine.
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, or book cat vaccination at home in Lahore.
There is no one price — here is every vet's
This is the part a price list cannot tell you: the same cat vaccination is Rs 2,500 with one verified vet and Rs 5,500 with another, in the same city, in the same month. Neither is overcharging — the spread reflects the vaccine brand, whether monitoring and a follow-up are included, and how far the vet travels.
On MatchVet you post what your cat needs and your budget, and these vets quote against it, so you pick the offer instead of accepting a list price. Every figure below is the vet's own, published on their profile.

Frequently asked questions
How much does cat vaccination cost in Pakistan?
Across 21 verified vets in Lahore the median is Rs 4,000 per shot at a clinic, with the real spread running Rs 2,500–5,500. A home visit adds roughly Rs 1,000, so about Rs 5,000 per shot at your door. Rabies is always a separate injection and sits in the same band. Cats need two shots a year — core plus rabies — which comes to about Rs 8,000 at a clinic or Rs 10,000 with home visits. Kittens are the same two shots, just started earlier. Karachi and Islamabad track Lahore closely; smaller cities often run cheaper. The same shot varies more than twofold between clinics, so compare offers rather than accepting the first quote.
What is the '4-in-1' vaccine for cats?
It's the same thing most vets call FVRCP — the core combination shot. The '4-in-1' name comes from the label listing panleukopenia, calicivirus, and rhinotracheitis (herpesvirus), sometimes with chlamydia as a fourth component. If a vet offers you a 4-in-1, a PCH, or an FVRCP, they are all the core cat vaccine. Rabies is always a separate injection.
Which cat vaccine brands are available in Pakistan?
The core shot commonly appears as Biofel PCH, Nobivac Tricat, Fel-O-Vax, or Purevax; rabies commonly as Rabisin, Nobivac Rabies, or Defensor. Stock changes constantly with import availability, so treat these as labels you might see rather than a shopping list — and don't choose on brand alone. Whether the vial was kept cold from import to injection matters far more than whose name is on it.
Billi ki vaccine ki price kya hai?
Lahore ke 21 verified vets ke mutabiq clinic mein aik shot ka median Rs 4,000 hai, aur asal range Rs 2,500–5,500 hai. Ghar per vet bulane ka taqreeban Rs 1,000 extra lagta hai — yani aik shot ghar per taqreeban Rs 5,000. Rabies ka injection hamesha alag hota hai aur usi band mein aata hai. Billi ko saal mein 2 shots lagte hain (core + rabies) — clinic per taqreeban Rs 8,000, aur ghar per taqreeban Rs 10,000. Kitten ko bhi wohi 2 shots lagte hain, bas jaldi shuru hote hain. MatchVet per apna budget post karein aur verified vets se offers compare karein.
Cat ko kitni vaccine lagti hain?
Kitten ko core (FVRCP) ki 2–3 khuraak lagti hain — 6–8 hafton se shuru, phir har 3–4 hafte baad, 16 hafton tak. Rabies ek alag injection hai jo 12–16 hafton per lagta hai. Uske baad Pakistan mein aam tor per har saal booster lagwaya jata hai. Aik shot kaafi nahi hota — poora course hi bachao deta hai.
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 about Rs 5,000 per shot including the visit — roughly Rs 1,000 above the clinic median), 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.
