You need to speak with your vet in the UK. He/she will advise you.

This is very strict. The animal must have various injections with earliest and latest dates (I think rabies has quite a narrow time window) and must be identifiable by microchip or ear tattoo, with the number inscribed in it's "passport" and veterinary certificate of health. The plane it comes on must fly directly without a stopover. If this is not possible, then a veterinary certificate of health must be obtained from the last country visited. Failing any of these, the animal must be quarantined for 6 months (in some cases, a home quarantine will be permitted, provided that it cannot leave the premises or come in contact with other animals).

I imported my cats, unfortunately some evil bast laid poison near my home and killed them, as well as a stray kitten I adopted last year...

See your vet and get a pet passport and comply with its terms and its easy...

Cyprus Airlines are pretty cheap for the container compared to BA
