The Process for medical, adoption and traveling your home

After you select your new friend, here is a list of the steps to get them home to you. Cats of AlUla will help you obtain all the paperwork required for travel:

All cats traveling must have an import permit issued by the KSA Ministry of Agriculture. U.S. travelers/importers should provide all information of their pets and flight details to their Saudi sponsor who should apply for an import permit from the KSA Ministry of Agriculture.

  • The USDA APHIS endorsed veterinary health certificate and a "certificate of origin" (obtained from the KSA Ministry of Agriculture) must accompany the cat during travel.

  • The “certificate of origin” does NOT need to be attested to by the Saudi Arabian Embassy in the U.S. prior to travel.

  • The KSA import permit, endorsed health certificate, and “certificate of origin” must be obtained prior to travel, but the import permit and “certificate of origin” do not need to be presented to USDA APHIS for endorsement

  • Additional requirements for traveling with your pet are described in the health certificate.
