TLDR : Answer Summary
The process of importing a cat from Thailand to the USA involves addressing several key steps. It's essential to check with the airline for any restrictions and requirements, as they may impose the most significant challenges. According to one comment, cats can be imported to the USA with relatively few requirements outlined on the USDA/APHIS website, although obtaining an export permit from Thailand is necessary. This permit will require a vaccination booklet from the cat's veterinarian in Thailand, confirming that the cat is vaccinated appropriately. Additional resources provided include links for contacting pet relocation services for assistance.
Cats to USA are so easy, check the USDA/APHIS website, you will see nothing is required. But on the Thai side, you will need to do the export permit and that requires the vaccination booklet from your wife’s regular vet.
