Hello!
I'm about to move in Iceland, and I'd like to transfer my two cats too. Is there some way I can save some money? I read the prices for the quarantine and they are soooo high!
Any help will be appreciated!
See you soon!

it's a government organization that handles this so there aren't competing quarantine locations. That's unfortunately the price you'll have to pay to import your pets.

Hi amenofiiv!
I would like to ask if you already moved to Iceland, how it went with the cats?
Can you write some details/information about your experience?
I'm about to move to Iceland probably for a year so I would take my cat with me as well, but as I see it is not that easy... It would be nice to hear from someone who did it.
Thank you!

Hello!
I haven't yet moved, I'll do in September. Firstly me and after found job and house my pets. I don't know if you saw the mast.is site where is all written. Btw as soon I have some news I'll write here.
Surely it will be a long and expensive travel for them! The only thing I know is that is not permitted visiting pets during quarantine.
Hope to have news soon!

Thanks for the answer
I'm also planning to move in September, but I prefer do it once, together with the cat.
Ok, so visiting is not possible ... How can they expect us to leave an animal who lives with us, see us every day, for ONE MONTH in a totally unknown place without visiting it at least a few times... I don't understand
