importing a cat

A friend of mine is considering a move out here, but his wife won't consider the move without her cat, has anyone been through the process of getting an animal out here? how long and what does it cost.
I have already suggested a driveway reversing accident but he thinks she might not believe him.

Hi - I brought my cat here a few months ago. You will need an import permit. Mine was procured by the Qatar Veterinary Centre, near Villagio Mall tel: 44216405/ 66675235/ 55401838. They were brilliant, very efficient, and will advise on vaccinations etc needed. Depending on the country of origin, you might also need an export doc. Tell your friend that if he wants his wife to be happy, he will need to take care of her pussy-cat. No reversing accidents, please.
