Repatriating cats to US
« on: January 28, 2019, 07:09:23 AM »
Just trying to stay ahead of potential eventualities here, but has anyone recently repatriated pets to the US and know what paperwork/requirements are? They are good for the EU, but if we go back to the US I want to ensure we are prepared between now and end of March with their shots all up to date and any papers ready just in case. Or at least a knowledge of what needs to happen.

Well, it looks like the hamster would be good, in any event.  :(

It's really easy to bring pets to the USA.  My cousin said her cat could have been a rabid raccoon and they wouldn't have cared.   ;D  She brought her cat back from South Korea.

https://www.tourradar.com/days-to-come/pet-friendly-international-airlines-ranked-top-20/  Supposedly best (or at least the names of those that will!)

I'm somewhat annoyed that a dog can fly "in cabin" on so many of these but a hamster has to go as cargo!!!  ::)

That sounds like discrimination to me!

How do you even load a hamster on as cargo? I mean the cage can't be that big, couldn't it get lost or just sort of roll around in the hold?  ;D

Thanks guys for the info. Sweden barely glanced at the cats + paperwork when we entered, the UK didn't care when they came through via road, so can't imagine there would be much of a huff from the US. Also, these two boneheads would be going back to Wisconsin, which apparently has bigger animals to worry about on a bigger scale than two lazy housecats.
