Moving to Oahu with cats

[ScubaJedi]

Aloha!

I might be moving to Hawaii soon, and I will be bringing my two cats. I was reading on this site that you have to contact the Animal Guarantee Section 4 months ahead. I might not have 4 months, my company moves fast! Will this be a problem?
I haven't even interviewed yet, so I don't know if I'll be going. I'm just doing some research for now.

Aloha ScubaJedi and welcome to our forum. Below are links to the government website that explains the rules. There's also a 5-day or less quarantine program but the animal has to meet certain requirements:

I'm also looking at moving from the mainland within the next six months or so with my cat .. I've been checking out the HI regulations for the "5 days or less" requirements to reduce the quarantine time if you get the shots, microchip etc for your pets done in advance.

I've also been checking out an island pet moving service located in Hawaii, which will help coordinate the process (if you google around you can find reviews etc for them.)

My brother has lived in Kauai for several years, he tells me: you know we have cats here too, right? But I just can't leave my cat behind! So I hope to go through the process for the 5 DOL.
