The 30 day quarantine (costing USD$800) starts the minute I hand him over to the airport quarantine office this late afternoon. He will be transferred to the animal quarantine station first thing tomorrow morning and I can go visit him in the late afternoon starting tomorrow.

He will be caged inside a 'cattery room' sized (1.7m x 1.2m x 2.0m) [5.5 ft x 4ft x 6.5 ft] by himself.

Dog kennel is made up of an indoor room and an outdoor run (4.3m x 1.8m x 2.4m) [14 ft x 6ft x 8 ft]. Cattery rooms are very tiny comparing to dog kennels... the charges are the same for dog kennels and cattery rooms which I don't feel is fair at all.

The worst thing is he will be given ANOTHER rabies vaccination tomorrow morning as soon as he arrives at the animal quarantine station. He already had one rabies vaccination when he was 3 months old and now he is being forced to have another vaccination at 9 months old... cannot be good for the poor kitty :(
