Hello,

I am thinking about applying to a medical school in the Caribbean, but a huge deciding factor for me is whether or not my cat has to be quarantined. I cannot seem to find anything solid online, so I was wondering if you could help me.

Thank you so much!
Yekaterina

P.S. My cat is up to date with all her vaccines and spends all of mosquito season on heartworm meds.
 

Hi Yekaterina,

Though it's doubtful your cat will face a quarantine as long as you fulfill all basic requirements, the answer to your question will depend on exactly where you're going. Please consult our country-specific list of import requirements for pets as well as the information available from IATA and IPATA.org. The fact that you're up to date on vaccines is good, and you'll need a vet health certificate as well.
