Guest lozzer Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hi We have a 9month old kitten (she is a pedigree cat) whom we adore & would love to take with us to Oz. Just how long is the quarantine time does anyone know? Does it differ with her being a pedigree? Also the cost? Dont know if it's fair to move her really maybe re-home her would be the best thing for her :cry: Thanks Loz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynne2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hi Loz, Just looked on another forum where i read about cats and quarantine and it is 30 days. The other forum is: Gomatilda.com people on this forum use that one too as you get lots of different info on both. Hope this helps hun Lynne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynne2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I was meant to also say our dog is a pedigree and makes no difference to the quarantine time or cost. Lynne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi We'e just brought our cat to Perth - it was £1,300 and $667 when we collected her. She was in Quarentine for 30 days and very well looked after and didn't look as if she'd lost any weight. Our cat is 15 and has settled really well. You are also allowed to visit your pet if you want to - Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lozzer Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Thanks for the info. 30 days isnt too bad & it would keep my daughter very happy knowing she can come with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest surfersi Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi there We have recently gone thought the process of booking our 2 cats to go over to Perth as decided we cannot go without them! We’ve managed to get the cost down to £830 for both cats, that’s booked via animal airlines. You can save a lot of money doing it this way but it means contacting the quarantine station direct as well as arranging all the export/import certificates and health checks yourself. It really has been pretty easy though and there’s help and advice available on the AQUIS and DEFRA websites. I advise you to apply for the import permit ASAP then book the cat into the quarantine station as these can get booked up months in advance (you cant book without an import number). Byford is the one used for Perth and they’ve been really helpful. My aunt took her cat over about 5 years ago and he was also fine – apparently cats travel very well! As far as I am aware, so long as your cat is not a Bengal then pedigrees are fine to import. My vet told us that dogs are a little more difficult to get over as there’s a lot more paper work and health checks, also very expensive and I think the process takes a lot longer so I would be worth contacting your vet as soon as possible for advice. I did read somewhere that if you can take your dog over to NZ on a pet passport then get an internal flight over to Oz which avoids the quarantine but the info I read may have been out of date. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
