I am planing to take my cat to Holland with me and need to get this done. Also, does anyone know of any other procedures I need to follow through before I can take her with me?

call your vet up and ask

Sorry, I don't know how much the rabies vaccine costs in your area, but telephone a few local vets to ask about their charges.
As with most EU countries, the Netherlands is a member of the Pet Travel Scheme. Your cat needs to be microchipped and then vaccinated against rabies within one year and at least 30 days prior to travel. You'll also need a certificate proving the effectiveness of the rabies vaccination, in order to be issued with an Official Pet Passport (or a Pet Travel Scheme Certificate) by an approved vet. The Pet Passport includes a full description of the pet including the breed, sex, colour age and any distinguishing marks, as well as the name of the owner. You may also need a health certificate, but your vet can help you with the necessary paperwork. Pets which do not hold a valid passport will be vaccinated on arrival in the Netherlands and kept in quarantine for a period of 30 days.
Hope this helps.

If you're taking your cat out of the United States, your vet. must provide a certificate of health, check over your cat and make sure she has all her shots. You can get your cat vaccinated at a lower price at the humane society, which where I live is $10. Then take the proof of rabies, and other vaccinations required, to your vet. Also check to see if your cat has to be kept in quarantine for any amount of time after you arrive in Holland, some countries require a 6 month quarantine, before you can actually get your pet.

You better check with the airlines AND the country you're going to WAY in advance of your trip. There will be a quarantine time there as well as when you come back (6 months here, you have to pay kennel fees for that here so be aware of the costs). Rabies shots in my area run $15. That's for the 1 year shot. There's a 3 year shot available but our vet says the risk of sarcoma is too high so they won't use it.

Usually the airline you are flying will have information about the requirements for bringing pets into a new country.
Most humane societies will give rabies shots at very low cost. If you have to get a "health certificate" for your cat, that will entail going to the vet for an exam and you might just as well get the rabies vaccination then too.

You usually need an actual health certificate in order to fly with an animal. You see the vet and get all necessary vaccines and the certificate. The airline can tell you what else you need and need to know.

Its pretty cheap and some places do it for free. Get all shots. Make sure your cat is de wormed and maybe spayed or neutered too.

They don't actually give a price, but they do provide a helpline if that's any use?
