I'm bringing in a cat that adopted us. Other than the pet passport and up-to-date vaccinations, is there anything else we need coming into IAH?

Thank you,
Faith

 

Hi Faith,

To bring your cat into the United States, you'll need to follow these pet import requirements. Compared to lots of other countries, the US isn't very strict, but it will still take a little bit of effort on your part to make sure everything is in order. Most importantly, you need the correct health certificate as well as an updated rabies vaccine.

Is your cat used to spending time in a travel crate? If not, here are a few tips for crate-training a cat that might be useful.

Thanks for the question!
