Thank you both for your help. Yes, we will be leaving France (I can't quite believe it myself!) but the information is still useful. The cats have had a wonderful time here, living between three farms. My new partner is emailing them photos of chipmunks so they know what their new life will bring! Thanks again Caroline

I think your hamster would have to abide by the quarantine laws. The existing Pet Travel Scheme applies only to cats and dogs at the moment, but this will change when new pan-European laws come into effect in October this year. See http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/quarantine/regulation/eu_reg_qa.htm for more details, and call them to be sure of how it affects you. Caroline

Is there anyone out there who has experience of relocating from France to the US? I will need to get my cats there at some stage in the next year, and I thought I had better investigate the feasibilty of relocating them. If anyone has any advice or knows where I would find out the procedures, I'd be very grateful. Thanks Caroline
