So, I’m bringing my 5 year old cat with me that recently recovered from surgery about 8 months ago. I thought to bring my cat to Japan I would only need the health certificate, the micro chip and all her vaccines. Which she all has, I decided to take her to the vet for a check up and brought up how we are moving to japan but now I realize to get my cat to Japan I apparently need to have a test for her which proves she doesn’t have rabies, then on top of that wait 180 days before brining her to Japan. She’s really attached to me and I’m really scared since I didn’t realize this sooner. I’m going to get her test which takes 30 days to receive back.
Has anyone brought their pet to Japan regardless of not waiting a full 180 days ?
Will they let her through after realizing she has met every other need?
I have everything and my mom is okay with watching her until the test results come back.
However, I’d feel really horrible to
Leave her alone ( her being super attached to me ) – with my mom for half a year
I’m moving for work but to make things clear- I will NOT get rid of her. I will do anything to make this work. If she is quarantined in Japan if they need to clear her at customs and do an inspection, could she be cleared to enter?
I’m really worried.
