Just a thought relative to taking animals into Qatar. Don't forget that you are only here until a national can undertake your job. You will enentually have to re-export your animal to your base country. If you are in the UK then it's expensive and time consuming.
We have taken two sets of cats through the quarantine process in the UK and it is indeed an intricate procedure.
We estimate that currently it would cost in the region of £1,000 to take a pet cat back to the UK. This is inclusive of air-tickets, licenced transport to the Quarantine facilities, additional rabies shots (UK will not recognise them if they are given in Qatar even though the UK authorities insist that they receive them in Qatar), plus the cost of the 6 months quarantine.
