Bringing a cat to Sweden from a EU country

I want to move my cat from Spain to Sweden and it has been hard to found the required procedures but finally I sent an email to hundochkatt@sjv.se and they answered the day after. All the information is on the sjv website. The most important things is that you must wait 120 days between the rabies vaccine and the blood analysis so you have to arrange this at least 4 month before the flight.

Those are the mails I received from the friendly people working at sjv.se (Swedish Ministry of Agriculture)

when bringing a cat from Spain to Sweden, these are the requirements:
  • identification

  • EU-passport

  • rabiesvaccination with titertest

  • deworming

  • notifying the customs

Hello again!

Blood analysis: after a rabiesvaccination you have to wait at least 120 days before taking a bloodtest. When receiving a result of the bloodtest the analysis is valid as long as the vaccination is valid.
