Hi Annetize,

Of course you cant.
Dog food are specially formulated for dogs and not for cats.
It might have nutrients for dogs and not for our cats.
Thats why people sell can food for dogs and can food for cats.
Please do not feed your cat with dog food.

Hi... you would save a lot of money if you do it yourself.
Its not hard at all.
I did it myself the other day.
But I brought in my cats from Kuching to KL.
First of all make sure that your cats is fully vacinated and have the rabies jab.
Secondly apply for the import permit in Kuching.
That you need someone to help you to do.
All they have to do is go to the Jabatan Haiwan with a copy of your cats medical card.
You need to pay RM5.00 per cat.
Then there is an import fee but not more than RM50.00
When you get the import permit only then you can apply for the export permit at any Jabatan Haiwan in KL.
Once you get the export permit you will need to bring your cats for the Vet to physically check your cat and issue the bill of health.
The bill of health is valid for 1 week if I am not mistaken.
During that time you will need to ship your pet out.
You can doi it at MAS Kargo or you can fly together with your cat.
Once you reach Kuching, you will need an agent to clear your cat but you can ask permission from Customs to do it.
After getting the go ahead you just wait for your pet to come out of Cargo, bring to the Vet station at the Kuching airport to get your papers stamped and then surrender the cat for quarantine.
Sounds hard but its actually easy.
You will need not more than a few hours at Jabatan Haiwan.
I did mine all in a day 
Good Luck!

P/s Better KL/ Kuching.less stressful for your cat.

No its not.
A few of friends transfered their cats recently and it was alright.
Since its still a kitten then its alright just as long as its had its vacination and rabies shot.
I did call Jabatan Haiwan Sarawak recently and was told that previously quarantine is 6 months but they have lessen it to 2 months the most.
Why don't you check out the quarantine place in Kuching first?
Get a family or friend to do it for you.
I am sure that its just stories and that the Jabatan Haiwan will take good care of your cat.

That I am not sure.
Klinik Yuan does normal vacination but I am not sure about Rabies.
Need to ask lor.

Added on February 27, 2011, 3:20 pmHi Guys,

Here is a detailed list of how to transport your pets to East Malaysia (Sabah / Sarawak).  For your information, for transporting pets within West Malaysia, you will not need to apply for any special permit.  When buying ticket please state that you will be travelling with your pet.  The pet will be charged as baggae and cost will be RM10.00 per kg.  When check in bags just inform ticket counter you have a pet travelling with you.

Here is the detailed list for transporting pets to East Malaysia.  Hope it will help.

Documents Needed
In order to transfer your pets (especially from West Malaysia to East Malaysia, or vice versa), you need to apply a couple of documents before hand.

1. First, you need to apply an import permit from the Jabatan Perkhidmatan Haiwan of the area you wish to send to.  The cost of import permit is RM 11.00.
2. Next, apply export permit from the JPH of the area of origin. For me, I have to apply export permit from JPH. There is also a government veterinary clinic which accepts application of import / export permit. Please check the website for contact details.
3. Finally, bring your pets to a veterinary clinic for medical check up then apply a health certificate from JPH or the government veterinary clinic mentioned above. Of course, your pets must be vaccinated and treated for worms or other diseases before hand.  Please take note that both import and export permit has a validity of 30 days, where as the health certificate is valid for 7 days only. So plan properly.

Sending Pets
There are basically two ways to send your pets, either travel with or without you.

You may send your pets via MASkargo. In this case, your pets are not traveling with you. You may fetch your pets at MASkargo terminals of the destination yourself or appointed person (you may need to state the person’s details while reserving).

If you wish to travel with your pets, you may make a special reservation while you purchase your tickets at MAS agency (online reservation is not applicable). Your pets will be checked in as excess baggage and will be charged according to their weights. For more information, click this link and type in “pets” as search keyword. Then click the “Special Assistance – Traveling with Pets” link.

Please take note that all dogs / cats transporting from West Malaysia to East Malaysia will be quarantined for a period of time which stated by respective JPH of the area. The reason is that East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) is free of Rabies. So, quarantine of your pets is compulsory.

A vet informed me that my Meow Meow need to stay at the quarantine station (Kota Kinabalu) for 30 days to ensure that it’s free from Rabies. There’s an exception of 7-day quarantine for microchipped cats. After a week at the quarantine station, you may apply for “home quarantine” from the officer on duty.

Another special notes: don’t ever ask whether AirAsia accepts shipment of pets. AirAsia flights claim to be passenger flights, so they don’t ship live animals.

Also, contact the respective JPH for more information before hand for proper planning. Well, there is also alternative if you think these processes are tedious. You may pay extra to let agents or some vets to arrange these things for you. But I tell you, it’s expensive (may costs you nearly RM 1000). Please don’t ask me which agents or vets offer these services because I really don’t know.

You’re welcomed to ask questions and make comments here. I’ll try my best to answer your questions.
