    Default Take the cat?


    Hi Folks,

    If all goes well with our visa app, we should be on our way to Brisbane
    about Aug/Sep this year. We have a moggy that is 10 years old, I had
    intended to leave her with some relatives, but she is part of the family
    and leaving her would break the kids hearts.

    Is there a problem with taking cats of this age? She is in pretty good
    nick generally but I would not want to put her through the hassle if
    it's going to stress her to much. I would also be interested in how much
    it costs, and how long it takes from door to door.

    Many thanks for any info.

    Same here, Golden Arrow shipped both our 8yr old dog and 12 yr old cat.
    Both are LOVING their new life by the beach in the warm!!! Our Cat
    didn't like the month in Quarentine but soon forgave us when he felt the
    sun on his back!

    I started looking into this myself -my cat was 14 - but unfortunately
    she died of cancer before our move. :-(
    You have to get her microchipped first. You also have to buy an IATA
    approved cat carrier that allows the airline staff to feed her without
    opening the cage. I was also told that the cage has to be sealed/locked
    so if accidentally opened, it's obvious. (i.e. the only way to open the
    seal is to break it - then quarantine know)

    We are moving to brisbane, and she would have to fly into Sydney for
    quarantine - it's for 30 days I seem to remember. This place had a
    website and looks great. The staff are very friendly and really look
    after your cat! All I did was google Australia Quarantine or something
    similar and found all the info there.

    You cat may also need some vaccinations too.

    Good luck!
