Hello, my partner (French) and I have plans to move back to France in August. We have two cats, both of whom were adopted here. We've been doing our research, and have found that a blood titer test is required at least 3 months before travel, and must be done in an EU-approved lab. I checked the website and there are NO labs approved in the Philippines. Furthermore, we are flying into Nantes, an airport that is apparently not approved for air travel import of pets.
We still have to get our cats microchipped, and then give them the rabies vaccine again. and then a month after that we can do the titer test. Unfortunately, that all puts us at less than 3 months before travel. What are our options? Will they have to be quarantined upon arrival? We're fine with that, we just don't want any of the other options (euthanasia, return to Philippines) to be enforced.
We did NOT choose our flight itinerary. That was selected by my partner's boss, hence all this last-minute scrambling. If it were up to us, we'd have booked an itinerary within the time frame and in a compliant airport...
Any advice would be much appreciated!!
