Ping Pong Pom

Hi Folks,

I'm having a MAJOR wobbler at the moment, as my beloved babies are having to go to a local cattery tomorrow, whilst I board the plane on Friday, on the basis they will follow when we've somewhere for them to go, so I don't know when I'll next see them

I've managed the DEFRA and MAF forms, but was sure I'd read somewhere that they have to have some kinda flea treatments either end of the fortnight before they go, but now I can't find it!! Have they changed the regs on this point?

I know about the rabies changes from 1st Jan, and mine are 6months clear now, so that isn't a problem; it's just the flea thing I'm not clear on.

I've said goodbye to my parents, brother, sister, son, daughter and grandsons. Why am I doing this? I'm surrounded by boxes and want to cry!

maybe page 7 of this http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/files/ihs/catdog.gen.pdf will answer your question?

Thanks Mrs F. I knew I'd seen it somewhere....but that was pre-breakdown over short notice packing!!

MrsFychan

when you leaving and where you going to be making home?

We're flying Friday and heading to Tauranga, specifically Papamoa, and can't wait to land and put this week behind us. The Goodbyes are truly awful but I've lived there before so I know/hope we'll settle quickly.

It's freezing here today so I hope there's still a little bit of sun to have there!

we're up on Porirua/Kapiti coast - there is sun but its cold and atm raining so make sure you bring some cardies
