Hi everyone
Does anyone know a good company that will sort out getting our cat across on the final one way journey????
Any idea of the costs involved??
Thanks:D
-
When our cat went on its one way journey, we stuck it in a black bag and threw it in the wheelie bin - no cost.
Edit again, forgot smilily ;)
-
Seriously. We are taking our cats over next year and have found details and been told that you can take them on the plane as normal luggage. Use the search option you might find more info on it.

Hi Scary,we brought our cats over with Airpets Oceanic 01753 685571, they arranged all the paperwork, boarded them for a week while we moved out then put them on the plane, all we had to do was make sure all injections up to date including rabies and collect them at the other end.
This was two years ago so things may have changed but there was a lot of paperwork involved, ie Defra,vets and export permission, rabies jab and check up by vet 15 days or less from departure thats why we let Airpets handle that side of things.There are other companies doing pet transport but we couldnt find one that done the paperwork as well,again things may have changed.
We travelled out with MyTravel as the cats needed to travel in a heated hold and they were the only company with planes with heated holds at that time.They were on the same plane as us and arrived safe and sound and are still living happily ever after in Turkey .
A quick ps to jthITLER 8) (see General Calis Beach Questions & Information\big hole!!!) i hope this message is not to trivial for your superior intellect and i am doing my best to get a life and i will also do my best not to make friends on this board and i will try not to have any thoughts or opinions you disagree with.[xx(]
Sorry folks but in my opinion jthITLER is a sad git and should perhaps look into getting a life himself.: :): :):P

Thanks for the number Smudge, all sorted and soooo easy.
-
You don't need to bring penguins to Turkey you can find at least one in Koycegiz !!!!! who seems to want us to believe that penguins live in the UK!!! as well as making no sense being on this forum but only to make stupid comments and try to incense people!!!!
-
Smudge can you say how much this cost you in total?
Lin

Total cost for everything as stated above for two cats was approx £800, remember this was nearly three years ago so prices could have changed.
-
We moved here last year. One german shepherd and two cats...allow £1000
-
Wow thanks for that Smudge........I have the option of clearing off now and going to Turkey for good, how long would it take in your estimation to prepare my cat for Turkey...........or do I just hand it over to one of these pet shippers and let them handle it? I know its going to be in the hundreds - that is ok....I can't leave here here, she's at the end of her life and doesn't deserve to be just dumped..
-
Can all be done in two weeks, we took them for rabies jabs and check ups 15 days before flying then they went into boarding the week before we moved and the next time we saw them was here in Turkey. Once you get the ball rolling it is very quick.
Good luck with the move.
-
That soon? that is excellent Smudge and takes a bit of worry off my mind. I thought it was going to take weeks, did you get them chipped at all or is this if your going to bring them back? I might go and check things out at my local vet, my cat has been relatively healthy over the years, never had to see a vet except once when she was doctored. She is very timid and never goes out so is not exposed to other cats!
Thanks again

Ours are house cats as well and we didnt get them chipped, you must make sure all injections are up to date and once the final check-up is done then you have to be gone within 15 days.
Do make final checks with vets and carrier as this was three years ago and things can change.
-
Thanks Smudge much appreciated, I think the law might have changed slightly, although in what way I have no idea, worth checking out!

Just been quoted £396 from airline (thomas cook, Onur don't do it) for two cats in individual crates 18"x 18" x 36" 5-8kg each. Plus handling fee other end of £15-£30 each. (still need to add on vet bills plus anything else will find out in new year).
The one main thing they pointed out was the type of airplane must be a Boeing 757, as it is the only one with a compresurrised cargo area for live animal transport. The Airbus and other Boeings don't cater for live animals. You will need to check the type of plane before you book your own ticket as the 757 is not a regular service.

Dipps,
Most of the airliners in use today have cargo holds that can be pressurised. It's the heating that is a concern.
737's are OK too because they have both facilities.
-
Forget it, i've just shot them. People who think their pets are thier life, i dunno.
For sale: two stuffed draught excluders, go meeoow when stretched.

-
Check out MyTravel for cat transport. (We flew out of Bristol with the dogs).
-
Thank Dipps & KKOB this is useful as my neck has gone stiff with RSI trawling through the net looking for info!
-
Ok Dippey
Just because you couldn`t bring your cats over here.
