Moving to Norway with a kitten: What vet forms and shots are needed?

Question

If I'm going to bring my kitten to Norway, what vaccinations and medicines does she need, and do I need to have a vet sign off / document things like hearworm medicines? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 7 months old | 4 lbs

That is exciting to take Nessa with you! Each country has its own requirements for entry. I would advise to go to USDA.gov and go to the exporting pets page. You will find Norway on the list. Familiarize yourself with the requirements and print them off to bring in with Nessa for her health certificate. A USDA accredited veterinarian will need to provide a health certificate and it may also need to be notarized by the state veterinarian so make sure you are doing things in the appropriate time line. Not all vets are certified, so if Nessa's doctor is not, there is also a link on the USDA website to find an accredited doctor. Additionally, the airline will have its own set of requirements and time lines. Most airlines will have their pet policies posted on the website. Also, some countries will need the doctor to sign off on parasite preventions. This will be noted in Nessa's health certificate. I hope I have pointed you in the right direction. Please post again if you have any further questions!
