1. Personalised Boarding

There is the 6-month quarantine in Singapore before the cat is allowed back into Australia. Putting the cat in a commercial boarding kennel may not be what the owner wanted. Writing to veterinary clinics may be a last resort in this case but I know of a person who provides a home. There are not be many such people around in Singapore.

The email is as follows:

Hello

We obtained your email address through the SVA
(Singapore Vet Association).

We writing with an urgent request. Can you please
advise us as to finding someone to look after our 6yr
old Persian cat, whom we wish to import into Singapore
at the end of July, for 6 months (i.e. by the time the
cat gets out of quarantine, the period the cat needs
to be looked after would be August 07 to Feb 08).

The cat is female, spayed and microchipped, pedigree
Persian (red-shaded cameo), very shy and very quiet.

This is a simply beautiful cat which we cannot bear to
leave behind as we move to Australia.

Quarantine requirements there are such that the cat needs to live
in an approved country like Singapore for 6 months
before import to Australia, and as we know no-one in
Singapore to help (even after placing classifieds
ads), we were hoping so much your clinic could. We
have exhausted all other alternatives (including
animal welfare agencies), hence our urgent appeal to
you!

Could you please let us know if you have any
suggestions as to finding a caring and reliable home
for the cat for August-Feb (6 months). We would of
course pay all food, vet and transport expenses.
