A cat too far

Dear Yasawa Islands,

I am very interested in coming to see you for my annual holiday this year in July. I have looked on your website and it looks positively paradaisical. I understand that until 1987, it was forbidden for outsiders to step onto the dry land of the islands. I am pleased that this rule has been changed by the island rulers although to be honest I love ships so much and I am feel so at home at sea that I wouldn't have minded too much about having to stay on board (I am not in the Navy but I do have an affinity with water, that's for sure.)

My question before I book my holiday is can I bring my cat as my wife has just left me?

Many thanks for your help.

Best wishes,

Gerry Howell



Dear Gerry,

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately we are unable to accept cats in our island.
Our governments quarantine department is quite stringent on bringing in animals from abroad.
However, if you still want to visit us minus your cat then please do let us know your intended dates of stay at Yasawa and then will come back to you with our availability and rates.
Thanks very much for your interest in our island paradise.

Kind regards,

Wise.


Dear Wise,

Thank you for your helpful reply to my question. I am still very keen to visit, would it be possible to bring a mouse instead?

Many thanks,

Gerry (my cat has just left me)

Dear Gerry,

Sorry we do not not allow animals into our island resort.

Thanks,

Wise.
