Taking a cat from Malaysia to Thailand

[Durianwriter]

I've been living in Malaysia where I recently rescued a kitten. I'm moving to Thailand and I'd like to take the kitten with me. What do I need to do to get her across the border? We'll be driving through Sungai Kolok.

Thanks for the advice!

No need to bring her, as we have plenty of kittens here in need of rescue.

I think this is best over in the pet forum. Let's move this topic over there.

Topic Moved.

Or you can go the legitimate way and don't risk the life of the kitten.

The kitten needs the regular kitten vaccinations, especially Rabies. (Not sure if a microchip is required.)
Then an export permit and health certificate from Malaysian site, and an import permit of the Thai site.

More info here, and/or call the AQS at Suvarnabhumi for more advice (tel.nrs in link below)

Because that makes sense?

My kitten has had the normal vaccinations and deworming. The vet today said there shouldn't be much hassle if I show her records at the border but we'll see.

I have brought cats back and forth across the land border with Cambodia many times. All I have ever been asked to show -- and that, only sometimes -- is vaccination record.
