Should I bring my cats?

Hi Everyone,

I am due to move out to Qatar in August. I have been trying hard to re-home my cats with my family as I really dont want to give them up to the RSPCA. I am thinking now that I might bring them with me.

Any advice?

Thanks

I used Pet Relocation about a year ago when we brought our Persian Cat Delilah into Qatar (see me forum entry "Oh Delilah" which does describe our emergency), and the company has helped us a lot.

We were relocation from another Arabic Country and I could not have done without them and their well founded support and advise.

Thank you Pet Relocation

Cheers

I have been helping several new teachers joining our school in August and have sent them the details of QPR. The feedback I have got from them is that Qatar Pet Relocators are very professional, helpful and, just as important as the red tape and legal stuff, are sypathetic to the anxious owners. I speak as I find from my own experiences.

There is lots of information on the pets and animals group regarding pet relocation, many companies provide comprehensive advice so you can DIY if you prefer.

Pet Relocation companies know the red tape, the various licences and laws, customs processes and so on. Many people chose pet relocation companies to avoid further stress or additional proceedures. When relocating to another country often you have enough to do and are prepared to pay for the services of a professional company who specialise in the area to take the pressure off. The same as any other shipping company!

Personal choice, necessary for some, not others.

Most if not all apartment landlords do not allow pets. However, if you will be staying in a villa, cats/dogs are ok. On pet relocation, check info on importing/exporting of cats/dogs to/from Qatar from www.qatarpetrelocators.com which offers almost all services for the relocation of pets. It is suggested that you consult and utilize the services of an experienced Pet Relocator closest to your present domicile.
