Advice & costs of taking your cat home?

Hi, has anyone brought a cat to Qatar or taken one back to Europe?

I'm trying to find out as much as I can about the procedure, paperwork and costs etc.

Preferably from people that have gone through it and can give me some advice please.

I just got a quote from them... They seem to know their stuff, but I have not used them yet.

If it's in the EU but not the UK you generally need to have the cat vaccinated against Rabies and a blood test certificate to show that the cat has antibodies to Rabies. Most airports accept them as accompanied baggage, cutting the cost by at least half. You need an export licence from Qatar and an EU import form, easy to download and get a vet here to sign. Pretty much hassle free, QPR and Doha Vets can advise you more. JJ
