Stray Animals...Would YOU Rescue? by RedJayBird

I am looking to open an animal rescue center in or around Flic en Flac in the next 1-2 years. Yes, I know it is a long time, but serious plans take time and careful consideration and planning. I am looking to hear from people living in Mauritus,..if ...

It’s a life without dignity in Kuwait by sherafghan

I’m a highly skilled IT professional who’s had the misfortune to spend some horrid time in Kuwait and I wish to share my experience here so that those contemplating a move to Kuwait can make an informed decision on whether or not this is really a ...

Go back farther than oil, when Kuwaits were the house maids to India. The hatred runs deep. Payback is foremost in the minds of those who were affected, or those who feel Ike they have reason to treat those deemed "low society" due to tribal ... Read More

Best bets of finding a pet is the PAWS shelter or Animal Friends of Kuwait, both can be googled for contact information. Please keep in mind, for safety reasons, it is always best to have a vet checkup after you adopt! Most shelters do not have the ... Read More

This country has a much stronger racist segregation than most I've been to. Saying that, I've met some great people here, kuwaitis, but push come to shove they spit out some racist remark like "jungle people" or the like....and their great ... Read More

@Mariam Paws is great, and full of information. My whole reasoning for opening my own center is the fact thaw Paws really has their hands full! No matter how great they do, if they are swamped, it still leaves animals out on the streets. Especially ... Read More

Hello all, We're considering bringing our cat to Mauritius. Does anyone know what the laws are surrounding this? Specifically, I'm worried that she is 15 years old and I think she has to stay in quarantine for 6 months? If thats the case I think we ...

RedJayBird

Well, I'm sorry your vet recommended against it! Many animals have flown from the UK to Mauritius so your import would be easily obtained. You do know that you can go and visit your pet in quarantine every day for as long as you like,yes? You can ... Read More
