Stray Animals...Would YOU Rescue? by RedJayBird
I am looking to open an animal rescue center in or around Flic en Flac in the next 1-2 years. Yes, I know it is a long time, but serious plans take time and careful consideration and planning. I am looking to hear from people living in Mauritus,..if ...
While sterilization is quite necessary, strays have their purpose in the ecosystem as well. Simply sterilizing the strays is a simple fix, expensive, and not a long term solution. Read More

Right now, I cant do squat. In a year or two i should have my own kennels, and truck to catch strays and at least 2 assistants on staff. That's in the financial plan at least. In the US where I am from, veterinary services is a strong market on the ... Read More
Hello by Dog_Lover
Hi, just joined this site hoping to make some new friends. I live in Salmiya and would really love to participate in any outdoor activities where my dogs could join the fun. Living here surrounded by people who are either terrified of them or ...
Best bets of finding a pet is the PAWS shelter or Animal Friends of Kuwait, both can be googled for contact information. Please keep in mind, for safety reasons, it is always best to have a vet checkup after you adopt! Most shelters do not have the ... Read More

@Mariam Paws is great, and full of information. My whole reasoning for opening my own center is the fact thaw Paws really has their hands full! No matter how great they do, if they are swamped, it still leaves animals out on the streets. Especially ... Read More

bringing cat to Mauritius by Strawb
Hello all, We're considering bringing our cat to Mauritius. Does anyone know what the laws are surrounding this? Specifically, I'm worried that she is 15 years old and I think she has to stay in quarantine for 6 months? If thats the case I think we ...
Well, I'm sorry your vet recommended against it! Many animals have flown from the UK to Mauritius so your import would be easily obtained. You do know that you can go and visit your pet in quarantine every day for as long as you like,yes? You can ... Read More

I have a cat trying to move to Mauritus. In all honesty, the hardestcpart to get past is the rabies track record in YOUR country. If the country you move your cat from has no recent case of rabies in the past 10 years, then you should be good. When ... Read More
Puppy needs a home by CanadianNomad
Hi everyone, I was walking through the cane fields and came across a little puppy who was obviously malnutritioned. Thinking Mom would be back soon, I checked on the little boy for a couple days often, and there was no sign of Mom. Not to ...
I encourage people to be careful when handling the strays here in Mauritius. While our heart aches to see them run homeless and unhealthy, please take precaution not to contract mange or ringworm from them. Two very common things I see with the ... Read More
Mauritian Customs and Wine by RonanF
Hello, I'm moving to Mauritius from Belgium in September and the moving company has told me that the Customs in Port Louis will not let me take more than 2 bottles of wine in with my shipment of belongings. Surely people move to Mauritius all the ...
MelissaL thank you so much! My Aunt has recently gotten me hooked on wines and Malbec being our favorite of the bunch I wanted to be sure I could get it for when she comes to visit! -Red Read More

What to bring??? by cdedbdii
Hi all! I'm moving to Kuwait this fall to teach, and I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions about what to bring with... I've heard that most the necessities are available, but am just thinking along the lines of toiletries/cosmetics, ...
cdedbdii, toiletries are easily obtained as long as you are not too picky about brand and etc. I DEFINITELY recommend you bringing a small stockpile of your cosmetics. There is MAC and Debenhams (which carries Lancome and etc. cosmetics) but if you ... Read More
Pets in Kuwait by matt20
I am moving to Kuwait in a few weeks. I am thinking about bringing my dog over. Does anyone have any experience with bringing pets into the country? I have contacted a pet relocation service, but once there what can I expect? Matt20
It's easy if you want to bring him on the plane. I brought my cat over and he was put in cargo and had no problems. You must provide a copy of your vaccination records from your vet. All vaccines must be up-to-date. You must also have a valid ... Read More
