Hi Im new to this site (which is great)! Can anyone please help? My family and I are thinking of relocating to Dubai. We live in England on a farm which is great for our three cats. I dont want to drag them over seas and stress them out, if they cant go out over there etc. etc. My mum says that she will look after them for me but you know how, 'no one looks after them as well as you do'! I would love to take them but dont want to put them into quarentine for 6 months if we return. Can anyone put my mind at rest and shine any light on things for me?

My cats are Jacey age 9 (he gets stressed very easily)
Lily age 4 (an outdoor girl)
Poppy age 2 (loves the outdoors but would easily live indoors)

Oh Yes! Im Jo and are 34!

Hi there Jo
- we're so happy to welcome you and your kitties to TCS. I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay with us - we're one great big family and you'll find loads of friends here. If I can help at all while you're finding your way around TCS just click on my username and send me a Personal Message - I'll do what I can to answer your questions


Here is a link to the Government website that gives information for people who may wish to take their pets abroad (including to the UAE) and then return with them back to the UK. http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quar.../dogs&cats.htm

Hope it helps.

Hi and welcome to TCS! I hope you get to keep your little furbabies...but if it is going to be too stressful for them then i`m sure your Mom will take really good care of them by the sounds of it.

I don't have any advice, but another consideration I would check into is if there is the proper vet care available in Dubai.

It must be a very hard decision for you
