Cats in Israel: rules and travel

Microchipping cats is optional.[1]

Up to 2 dogs or cats per owner can enter without a permit with: a government vet health certificate issued within 7 to 10 days before travel, an ISO microchip, a rabies vaccination given between 30 days and 1 year before arrival, a rabies antibody test of at least 0.5 IU/ml, an owner declaration of at least 90 days possession, and notice to port vet services 48 hours before arrival. Minimum age is 3 to 4 months.[2]

Same conditions. Per a December 2020 US government summary: ISO microchip before the last rabies shot, rabies antibody test of at least 0.5 IU/ml, health certificate within 10 days, import permit needed unless 2 or fewer animals travel as accompanied baggage, and 2 working days notice to the port vet office.[3]

Required: at least 0.5 IU/ml from an approved laboratory, sampled 30 or more days after vaccination. An older sheet exempts animals from Oceania, Great Britain, Japan and Cyprus.[2]

Healthy animals with complete papers are generally not quarantined. Animals needing a permit or arriving unaccompanied may be held at an official station for 8 days. Animals without correct papers can be returned at the owner's cost.[4]
