Bringing Kitten to US Without Rabies Vaccine

[mstief]

Hello!

 

So the US does not require cats to have a rabies vaccine when entering the country.  I would like to adopt a kitten here in Thailand that is too young to have a rabies vaccine.  Does anyone know whether or not the officials at the Animal Quarantine Station will have a problem with this in issuing the export permit?  I have already contacted the airline, Phillipine Airlines, and they have said that they have no age requirement, and I am certain that there is no problem on the US side.

I think you need to call the airport.  We were told by them that they would not let a pet fly without the vaccine.

Contact the animal quarantine office at suvanabhumi as they are the ones who issue the health certif and export permit needed to bring the kitty on the plane. A search of this forum will find tel number and email.
