How to bring pets to SA?
I am thinking of moving to SA for a work contract and want to bring 2 cats. Can you explain the correct procedure I need to adhere to to make it happen?

You will need a veterinary import permit to import cats into South Africa. They are not quarantined on arrival. The cats must have a valid import permit and a health certificate signed and stamped by the government veterinarian of the exporting country ( Where you are coming from). For further information on how to get the permit etc, here is a useful link: http://www.intergate-immigration.com/blog/bringing-pets-south-africa/.
