I am sooooo happy!!!!!!!

Today, I received Dyman's rabies serology report and I can now go to AVA head office to submit the forms and reserve a space for his quarantine.

Added a few new pixs taken on 28 August (@ 6 months old) in my gallery.

Another 13 weeks to wait for his arrival.

Cheers!!!!

I received new pixs of Dyman this morning..... he will be 8 months old in 11 days time.

No idea what his current weight is... but he was 5.20kg at 6.5 months old.

Keeping my fingers crossed hoping plans are as scheduled; in exactly 6 weeks from today, he'll be arriving in Singapore!

I am soooooooo anxious and excited!!!!!!!!!!!!

With Merlin, he traveled by car to Warsaw from the breeder's hometown which took about 4 hours. Then from Warsaw to Frankfurt; around 2 hours by air if I remember correctly. Then Frankfurt direct to Singapore; another 12 hours.

Merlin, who was 4 months old then, had no problem with the long flight when I picked him up from the airport cargo section. I just hope Dyman will not be too stressed out when he arrives.

How does the 30 day quarantine work? Does he have to stay in like a kennel of sorts at a vet for that long? That seems like quite a while...

The 30 day quarantine (costing USD$800) starts the minute I hand him over to the airport quarantine office this late afternoon. He will be transferred to the animal quarantine station first thing tomorrow morning and I can go visit him in the late afternoon starting tomorrow.

He will be caged inside a 'cattery room' sized (1.7m x 1.2m x 2.0m) [5.5 ft x 4ft x 6.5 ft] by himself.

Dog kennel is made up of an indoor room and an outdoor run (4.3m x 1.8m x 2.4m) [14 ft x 6ft x 8 ft]. Cattery rooms are very tiny comparing to dog kennels... the charges are the same for dog kennels and cattery rooms which I don't feel is fair at all.

The worst thing is he will be given ANOTHER rabies vaccination tomorrow morning as soon as he arrives at the animal quarantine station. He already had one rabies vaccination when he was 3 months old and now he is being forced to have another vaccination at 9 months old... cannot be good for the poor kitty :(
