Anyone have any idea what immunisation you need to keep up to date for cats here? Brought mine over 2 years ago and think that it's just the rabies you need to keep renewing if you ever want to take your cat back home... Are there other injections needed to keep the pet passport valid?
Cheers!

Back to the UK. My mum's picking him up at Heathrow and he' staying with them for a bit till I get settled down in London.
This is very important - the cat must be fully up to date with his/her rabies vaccinations. This would mean that a new rabies vaccination, followed by a blood test and waiting period of six months must be carried out here in the UAE.
I always kept my cat's vaccinations current on the off chance I would leave without much warning.
If the cat's shots are up to date then it does not have to go into quarantine. The UAE's one of the acceptable countries. http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-pet...info/other.htm

All shots are up to date though as we let him out.

New on here, so please bear with me if this hasn't come through correctly..

Let's see.
Last camping trip this weekend. Drinks tomorrow night. Dinner party Monday night. Last week in office next week. Then Vietnam for two weeks. Back for a week to have visa cancelled and bank accounts closed.
Pajero already sold (For exactly 70K if you doubters want to know). Furniture sold/given away except for the bed, which goes next week. The rugs and knicknacks I picked up in Turkey and Pakistan and other places have already been collected by the shippers.
So - no major must do in Dubai, just lots of work do finish at the office and seeing all my friends before the big teary departure. I will try to get to Ravi's for one last big meal.

It also means that should anything happen to the cat and some-one is kind enough to take it to the vet (as they did with ours after he was hit by a car) the vet can contact you....
The chip is smaller than a grain of rice, take seconds to implant and rates of serious complications are in the order of one in a million.... To me it's more of a case of why wouldn't you....

Sounds very organized Ethos- how about getting your deposit back on your apartment? Or is it the norm to just right that off?
Before you leave will you tell us your name?
