The rules for importing pets into the UK are complicated. At the moment the animal has to have a rabies jab, a blood test and then wait 6 months.
This all changes on Jan 1st next year where the blood test is no longer needed if coming from the EU and other listed countries.
Clearly there is an overlap in your case so effectively you will only have to wait until Jan 1st next year.
The rules are here
