Dear PetRelocation,
It appears that all I need to do to import my cat to America is to get a letter from the vet saying she is healthy. Is this the case?
Thanks,
Brandi
Hi Brandi,
The answer to your question is "just about." In addition to the international health certificate, you also need to show proof that your cat has an up-to-date rabies vaccine. Take a look at the full pet import requirements for the United States.
In addition to these preparations, we advise that you choose a pet friendly airline and also work to help get your cat acclimated to the travel crate. If you need some advice about this, take a look at these tips for crate training a cat.
