Title: Cat Food
Post by: Linda1953 on July 23, 2004, 22:39:44 PM: :)If any of you have taken your pets over with you such as a cat - what do you feed it on in Turkey? :D My cat eats mainly tinned food can you still get that over there from Migros or have you had to change your pet's diet? I hear lambs intestines are very popular :D

Migros sell packs of small fish fillets called Hamsi Fileto and Sardalya Fileto in the freezer section which are ideal for cats. The fillets take about 30 seconds to defrost in a microwave oven.

Post by: crossie on March 19, 2006, 16:44:30 PM: Bim. just spotted your question, quite a complicated procedure, we are getting one of our cats ready for Turkey.
The person you need to speak to is your vet, He/She should have all the info,also DEFRA, have a look at there website, there are companies that do it all for you,WEB SEARCH,but they are expensive.

Post by: Dippey on March 20, 2006, 08:45:16 AM: two cats in two separate cages 18"x18"x26" £406 Airspace aviation.
Rabies jabs x 2 £37
final check up £30
Defra stuff is free.

one cat would be £270 approx.

cats eat frogs???? well ours do, apart from the head, they'll be well happy in Calis. otherwise they gonna get chicken n tuna (with pasta to stop them getting to hyper!), and if they don't like it, tough.

Fill in Defra form EXA1 and take to vet for rabies jab then send to defra, do bugger all until leaving, Defra will send export cert to vet, you then get pet final check up.

I thought you had already moved to Turkey?? If so I think you will find it easier to have a look in Migros than wait for an answer to your post on here.

Post by: coldkeys on March 29, 2006, 13:39:17 PM: I've noticed the petfood sections in the supermarkets, in Turgutreis, are very small, usually 1 or 2 mods with 2 or 3 types of whiskas/pedigree chum etc So, if your pet is fussy, they'll have to change their ways or go hungry. I found tinned tuna to be quite expensive. We don't have a pet, but from our experience last October I don't think it'll be long before we have a cat - one 'adopted' us. It was well looked after so I imagine it had several 'owners' (who 'owns' a cat?)

Post by: Linda1953 on April 08, 2006, 18:44:17 PM: I found myself looking at catfood in Migros, then I realised I'd left my cat with the neighbour back in the UK lol, I suppose after buying catfood for the last 20 years its hard to get out of the habit!
