Cost is a common concern for pet parents planning their cat’s vaccinations. The cat vaccination price in India generally depends on the vaccine, the cat’s age and the city. At Vetic, single vaccines start at Rs. 699, and each clinic vaccination includes a complimentary vet check-up. This guide covers Vetic’s listed vaccination prices and the typical vaccination schedule for cats.

Vaccination Price List at Vetic

Vetic lists CRP (also known as FVRCP) and anti-rabies among its cat vaccination options. Vaccination needs can vary by age, lifestyle and exposure risk, so your vet can recommend an appropriate plan. The table below shows Vetic’s published starting prices.

Note: Prices may vary by city and may change over time. 

What Does the Vaccine Price Usually Include?

At Vetic, each vaccination visit includes a free health check before the vaccine. The check may include assessing your cat’s weight, temperature, eyes, ears and skin before vaccination. Pet parents also receive a digital record in the Vetic app. The Vetic app (for Android and Apple users) can also help remind pet parents when the next vaccination is due. 

For home vaccinations, the visit is charged separately from the vaccine. Vetic’s Vet at Home service is currently listed from Rs. 399 in selected cities.

What Do Core Cat Shots Cost?

Core vaccines are those recommended for all cats, regardless of lifestyle. The 2020 AAHA/AAFP feline vaccination guidelines identify vaccines against feline panleukopenia, feline herpesvirus, feline calicivirus and rabies as core vaccines for cats, with FeLV also considered a core vaccine for cats younger than 1 year. Ask your vet whether the FeLV vaccine is recommended for your kitten. 

What is the Fvrcp Vaccine Cost?

The FVRCP cat vaccine cost at Vetic starts at Rs. 1,249, or Rs. 1,299 in Mumbai. In India, FVRCP is also commonly called CRP. 

What is the Rabies Vaccine Cost?

The cat rabies vaccine cost at Vetic starts at Rs. 699 per dose. Rabies is a serious disease that can affect both animals and people. For this reason, Vetic vets recommend anti-rabies vaccination for cats in India. A valid rabies certificate may also be required for boarding or travel.

What Do Kitten Vaccinations Cost by Age?

Kittens need a series of doses during their first few months. At Vetic, kitten vaccinations cost from Rs. 3,999 as a package, or Rs. 4,499 in Mumbai.

What shots are given during the kitten series?

Vetic’s listed kitten schedule includes three vaccination visits: 

  • Day 60: first CRP dose
  • Day 90: second CRP dose and first anti-rabies dose
  • Day 120: third CRP dose and anti-rabies booster

Until the initial vaccination series is complete, your veterinarian may recommend limiting your kitten’s contact with unfamiliar or unvaccinated animals, particularly in higher-risk settings. 

What do follow-up and booster doses cost?

After the kitten series, booster timing depends on the vaccine, your cat’s age and individual risk factors. Your veterinarian can recommend the appropriate interval. Vetic’s annual adult package, which includes CRP and anti-rabies, starts at Rs. 1,899. In Mumbai, the same package starts at Rs. 1,998.

What Is the Vaccination Schedule and Cost?

The cat vaccination schedule and cost change as a cat grows. Kittens need several doses, while adult cats generally need annual vaccination visits, with booster timing depending on the vaccine, vaccination history and individual risk factors. 

How do costs differ for kittens and adult boosters?

The first year may cost more because kittens generally need a series of vaccinations rather than a single dose. Adult cats generally need one visit a year, which lowers the yearly cost. Based on Vetic’s listed starting prices, the package may be more economical than purchasing the included vaccinations separately. 

What happens if a dose is missed?

A missed dose doesn’t always mean starting over. Vetic advises rescheduling as soon as possible. Your vet can review the vaccination history and recommend the right catch-up schedule. 

Why Do Prices Vary by Clinic and City?

Cat vaccination prices may differ between clinics for several reasons. Factors may include the vaccine product, location and any services included with the vaccination. 

Do Clinic Location And Vaccine Brand Affect Cost?

Both can affect the final price. Vetic’s CRP vaccine and packages are priced slightly higher in Mumbai than in other cities. Imported and Indian vaccine brands may also differ in price.

Do Indoor or Persian Cats Need Different Shots?

In most cases, the core vaccines remain the same regardless of lifestyle or breed.

Do Indoor Cats Need the Same Core Vaccines?

Vetic recommends yearly CRP and anti-rabies boosters for indoor cats, too. Some infections may be carried into the home on shoes, clothing or other pets. Your vet can assess your cat’s individual risks.

Does Breed Affect Vaccination Needs or Cost?

Breed usually doesn’t change the core vaccine plan. The Persian cat vaccination price at Vetic is therefore generally the same as for other cats. However, Persians may need additional care, such as regular grooming, which is priced separately.

How Can You Budget for Cat Shots?

Planning ahead can make vaccination costs easier to manage.

What Should You Budget for the First Year and Later Boosters?

Based on Vetic’s starting prices, a kitten’s first year may cost from Rs. 3,999 for the full series. From the second year, the annual booster package starts at Rs. 1,899. Pet parents may also wish to set aside a small amount for deworming or any treatment the vet recommends.

When Should You Talk to a Vet First?

Speak with a veterinarian before vaccination if your cat is unwell, pregnant, has an unknown vaccination history or has previously reacted to a vaccine.

Our vets note that some cats may show mild tiredness, reduced appetite or a slight fever after vaccination. Seek urgent care for facial swelling, vomiting or breathing difficulty. Also have your vet check any lump at the injection site that persists beyond a few weeks.

Conclusion

Vaccination is an important part of preventive care for cats of every age. Knowing the cat vaccination price in advance can help pet parents plan each visit with confidence. To plan your cat’s next dose, book a vaccination appointment at your nearest Vetic clinic.
