would be

Answer 1

You are in luck the USA is on the approved list so your kitty won't sit in a quarantine cage costing you $ for 6 months. But it will cost you. How much is up to the airline you take the kitty on (please, please, please don't allow the cat to go into cargo. many die down there), and the cost of the appropiate shots, chipping & so forth.

Qoute:

To bring your dog or cat into the UK under PETS from one of the listed countries you must have it first microchipped, then vaccinated against rabies and then blood tested. There are no exceptions to this order of preparation apart from the exemption explained in the next sentence. If your pet is resident in France, Denmark or Sweden these procedures maybe done in a different order.

There are no requirements for pets travelling directly between the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

This page gives a short summary of the PETS rules. Each title is a link to more detailed information. Please make sure that you have read and understood all of these pages before you bring your pet into or back into the UK. If you are bringing your pet to the UK from a non-EU listed country or territory, there is some more information that you must read.
Where PETS procedures can be carried out

Your pet can be fitted with a microchip in any country. The rabies vaccination (including boosters), blood sampling, issuing the PETS documentation and the tick and tapeworm treatment must all be carried out in the UK or any of the other qualifying countries (see below).
The six month rule for entry or re-entry to the UK

Your dog or cat may not enter the UK under PETS until six calendar months have passed from the date that your vet took the blood sample which led to a satisfactory test result (see below). Once the vet has issued the PETS documentation and that six month period has passed, the PETS documentation is valid for your pet to enter the UK.

There is a 21 day wait before your pet can enter other EU countries.
The procedures

* Have your pet microchipped

Before any of the other procedures for PETS are carried out, your pet must be fitted with a microchip so that it can be properly identified.

* Have your pet vaccinated

After the microchip has been fitted your pet must be vaccinated against rabies. There is no exemption to this requirement, even if your pet has a current rabies vaccination

* Arrange a blood test

After your pet has been vaccinated, it must be blood tested to make sure that the vaccine has given it a satisfactory level of protection against rabies.

* Get PETS documentation

For animals being prepared in an EU country, you should get an EU pet passport. If you are preparing your animal in a non-EU listed country you will need to obtain an official third country veterinary certificate although note that Gibraltar and Switzerland are also issuing passports.

Animals can also enter the UK using a PETS certificate issued before 1 October 2004 until its “valid until” date. Certificates issued on or after that date will not be acceptable for entry to the UK.

* Before your pet enters the UK, it must be treated against ticks and a tapeworm

Your pet must be treated against ticks and a tapeworm not less than 24 hours and not more than 48 hours before it is checked in with an approved transport company for its journey into the UK.

* Arrange for your animal to travel with an approved transport company on an authorised route

Your pet must enter the UK from a listed country travelling with an approved transport company on an authorised route.

Answer 2

There is a procedure for taking an animal in to the UK without the 6 month quarantine. But it has it problems and there are hoops to jump through and costs to pay. Look into it NOW because you will need time to get things in order.

Start there and they will tell you the details.

Answer 3

Do you know it will not be admitted to the Uk because it will have to spend 6 months in quarantine first
