Considering a move to Hawaii

[pikachu]

Hello all!

 

We have been talking more lately about moving to Hawaii when we retire.

 

Do any of you have a resource that might have some answers about:

 

1. Can greys be brought into Hawaii?

2. What is the protocol?

3. Quarantine time?

 

Also may consider Costa Rica?

 

I'm just trying to plan ahead. I will not make the move if I can't bring Maui with me.

Hawaii is strict about bringing animals into the state as they are an island and have certain criteria you must follow and quarantine times but just do a google or bing search to find their website to find out the requirements and do this months in advance of moving. I have cousins who used to live in Hawaii and they took their dog with them, only thing the dog had to be quarantined for 3 months in Honolulu and they lived on Kauai, that was to be sure he was free from rabies.

Thanks. I haven't been able to find the info yet. That's why I asked here.

Here is one source I found but don't know how much help it will be:

Thanks Judy.

I have been looking at that. I wish they would make it easier to get & interpret information.

It looks like a short quarantine period, but it doesn't say where it needs to be. Or did I miss that? What I mean is, where is it kept?

And, I was looking for forms, but didn't find those either.

I found greys on a conditional list, but I didn't see what "conditional" means.

So confusing!

It looks like the quarantine needs to happen in Honolulu and that all animals must come in thru that airport.
