There is zero wiggle room on Hawaii's requirements. It's as bad or worse as international travel, because they are rabies free and realize maintaining that status is a high priority. I asked about a waiver a year or two ago, emailed the state vet who probably recognized my name as the researcher who helped ease the 4 month quarantine rules to what we have today (short to none, if you have the vaccines and titer tests in order). Net result: no room for case by case judgements, every dog, cat, ferret must follow the rules. No exceptions. Typical state government response.
