Hello.
I'm a Singaporean. I intend on moving to Johor Bahru, either for a year or maybe permanently. My cats are strays and have lived with me for almost 5 years and I don't want to give them away. I live in a HDB home by the way.
I want to bring them with me to Johor Bahru, however I'm wondering if they would let me do the export to begin with since I live in a HDB home?
Furthermore, the real problem is if I do not plan on living in Johor Bahru after a year and would like to import my cats back into Singapore, the AVA wouldn't let me bring them back even with the 30 days quarantine.
They told me I need to quarantine each cat for $925 so that's about $3000 plus for 4 cats and though I'm okay with the amount, I don't think I can get them back since I do not live on a landed property. I do not know of anyone who lives in a landed property who'd let me use their address and let me keep my cats in my home. And willing to abandon the license after a year, as I've kept them all these years in my HDB home without a license. I just need temporary importing help with the address.
Does anyone have any idea as to what I can do or know of anyone who can help me out? I'm really in need of help, if my cats can't come with me then I can't make the move as I don't want to abandon them just because I have to go overseas. I know a lot of owners just give their pets away when they have to leave but I can't and won't, the same reason you wouldn't leave a child behind. I guess a lot of them are trying to avoid the quarantine amount.
Please help!
Thank you!
