Process of bringing cat to USA from Philippines?

[mangoboba 3]

If I’m posting this in the wrong forum- my apologies!

 

I was wondering if anybody has advise on the process of bringing a cat to the USA from the Philippines. My fiance will be coming to the US soon and has a pet cat. Thank you!

This is going to be highly dependent on what airline you guys use, above all else.  As far as bringing a cat to the US, it's a lot easier than a dog.  Rabies and health certificates are not required for entry of a cat into the US but they MAY be necessary based on the airline you fly with.

 

If I were you I'd make a call to the airline customer service of your choice and verify what their requirements are.  Could be a combination of health/vaccination records, pictures/ID of the cat, and verification of the crate dimension if your fiance plans to bring them on as a personal item for storage beneath the seat.

 

There are also organizations such as PetRelocation and IPATA which can assist in shipping the cat separately.  Good luck!

Thank you so much for the advice I’ll definitely check in with the airline!
