Relocation with cats

Question
I have two healthy, one year old cats and will be relocating out of the country to teach abroad. Do certain countries prohibit bringing animals from the US?

Answer
Dayna,

I am including a link to the USDA APHIS site on exporting pets to foreign countries:

http://www.aphis.usda.gov/import_export/animals/animal_exports_pets.shtml

Each country is different and, so, you will have to look at the rules for that country.  We have taken cats to Europe and sent cats to Hawaii and Australia. We also know of people who have taken cats to Hong Kong and Japan.

Use the link to get to the page and scroll towards the bottom.  There will be a list of countries.  Each country will have requirements by type of pet.

Please come back to me if you have further questions or require clarification of the rules.

Best regards... Norm.
