TLDR : Answer Summary
Bringing a cat into Thailand on a DTV visa is generally straightforward, with specific requirements to ensure compliance with pet import regulations. Key points include ensuring the cat has a rabies vaccine and undergoing a titer test, which can now be done in Thailand. The vaccine process takes about 20 days and costs around 3500 Baht. While entry with the pet is manageable, leaving Thailand with the pet presents more challenges, particularly due to rabies regulations requiring a rabies test analyzed outside the country, which can involve a lengthy process. It's crucial for cat owners to be prepared with the necessary funds and arrangements if they plan to move back or travel elsewhere.
Check here Cat lovers / cat whisperer all the procedure is explained. You can do it yourself. That's easy as long as all the vaccines are in order + chip. When you travel, he / she can go to cat hotel (I recommend Petopia โรงแรมรับฝากแมว อาบน้ำตัดขนแมวเชียงใหม่ Cat Grooming&Hotel ). Safe travels!

Bringing a cat into Thailand is quite easy, but when you want to leave again, it will be tricky and if you need to pick up and leave quickly, it’ll be even harder. Unfortunately a lot of people end up leaving their pets here, which is heartbreaking and there are already so many animals looking for homes. So, make sure you have the funds and time to be able to take him/her with you when you leave 🙏💚
we adopted a sick cat from the street. Goal was to get her better and then put her back where we found her.. a year later and another 1 year lease because we refuse to part with her haha 😆😆

Yes no problem, titer test can be done in Thailand now, take 20 days, if your cat already has rabies vaccine and cost around 3500thb. I travel with my 2 Chihuahuas twice a year.

If your cat has 20 thousand Baht in cash he will be allowed to stay.

It's very easy to bring it. But later it will be very difficult to take it out as Thailand is considered a country with rabies. You will need to send the rabies test to a lab outside Thailand and wait around 6 months after the results.
