Hi Everyone,
Thank you for your replies and links. According to Citizen's Advice Cayman is one of the 'qualifying non-european countries' that you can bring your pet in and out of without quarantine but I would have to stay out of ireland for at least six months (and if it didn't work out over there, I'd be in a spot of trouble). However, I am also concerned about the length of the flight for a cat and the change of environment. I have to think seriously about this job as he was a rescued cat and had a very traumatic start in life.
What we do for our beloved animals. We may have to stick out this recession together....
