Cats in Cyprus: rules and travel
Dogs older than six months must be registered, marked and licensed every year through the local authority (about 20.50 EUR). Four named breeds are banned, and no compulsory cat rules were found.
Dog licences are issued by local authorities, but registration and breed rules are national.
Travelling to Cyprus with a cat
An EU pet passport, a microchip and a rabies vaccination given at 12 weeks or older are needed, with entry at least 21 days after the first vaccination. Up to 5 animals may travel.[1]

Required for pets from most non-EU countries not on the EU list. Blood is taken at least 30 days after vaccination, then travel waits 3 months from the sample date.[2]
