Yes, another question...
Okay, before you say look on the DEFRA site, which I will in-depth again, I just wanted to ask a quick question. I know you guys are very helpful with this stuff and just wondered if anyone can advise.
It's a PetPassport type question
I had both my cats microchipped, rabies vaccinated, blood drawn and tested in December of 2007, so I can go home to Scotland in June 2008 at the earliest.
If I were to go home before June 2008 would it be a HUGE hassle putting them in quarantine for however many months I would need them to be there?
And, will it be VERY expensive?? Any idea how much quarantine a month for two cats is? Also, I would be flying into Manchester (nearest airport to Scotland for the PetPassport stuff), and would need to quarantine them in the Scottish Borders.

Re: Yes, another question...
Hey as far as i can tell (and we had written confirmation from Defra), as long as the rabies jab is up to date (ours is Norbivac and last for three years) there is NO QUARANTINE as long as the Pets passport is up to date. Check what is on the passport.........
We are going home with our terrier, and I would not put her thru quarantine for all the tea in china, so we have checked this out to n'th degree.
Hope that helps.

Actually, I am coming from the US, and it's a third country vet certificate not the PetPassport (my mistake). Quarantine applies if it has been less than 6 months since the blood-draw. Where are you? Is it Australia?

Re: Yes, another question...
Yes we are Oz.
I think it is a total nightmare wherever you are returning from - a paperwork frenzy.
Defra have admitted to us today that their website is wrong (!!!!!!) and you cannot fly pets from Cairns to the UK. Fantastic. It's only cos we pointed out that Jetstar have taken on this route (and don't carry pets) that they have sussed it.
Not a lot of hope is there ? We are now going to have to go to Brissie and fly from there.
What a load of bollocks.

Re: Yes, another question...
Hey thankyou !!!
After losing one dog in quarantine, this one will be travelling in the hold beneath me with the captain under strict orders to check on her ( I wish)
Not joking really - it is a bloody minefield. I just want my terrier home in one piece, without any question of quarantine :curse::curse::curse::curse: cos then they really would have a mad woman on their hands.
We have already had to have a new passport sent out from the UK with the correct jab dates confirmed (why were they not right in the first place )
But we will get there........

Re: Yes, another question...
Same predicament here,
My cats cant go until July 22 and I need to go early May.
What I did for my two cats was to go on a cat forum in Australia and ask if there were any loving families who would take my kitties for 10 weeks, for $1000 cash and all the food and litter required. I got about 6 responses from people happy to take them in, breeders and just cat lovers.
Quarantine for 2 months will cost you about $2500.
I am mentioning this as I know my cats would rather have the run of a house (all be it a strange one for a few days) than sit in a cage for 10 weeks. I wonder if a similar suggestion is an option.

Re: Yes, another question...
Hey,
Is there not a company that will do that. it might cost you a few $$ more but its worth it for piece of mind and getting away sooner if you need too.
In Aus am using jetpets, they will pick the cats up from wherever they are and look after them for one night and then put them on the plane. I just have to be at Heathrow at the other end !
QUite sure there would be pet relocation companies in the US. Unless I am missing something?

What i need to know is that do they both need a passport too and where do you get them from? any idea?
