    Default Shipping the cats our to Perth


    Hi Guys

    We have finally sold the house - Yay! Well, subject to contracts etc s
    still keeping our fingers crossed

    We need to start looking at taking our two cats out to Perth but
    understand that there is a 2 - 3 month delay/leadtime for th
    quaranteen station in Perth.

    This means potentially, we may need to leave the UK before the cats!

    My question comes in two parts really,

    Firstly, anyone able to recommend a good company that they have use
    themselves to ship their pets?

    Secondly, could these companies provide a door - door servic
    collecting the cats from a cattery in West Yorkshire, transporting the
    to the UK airport and flying them out to Perth.

    Thanks for any input in advance

    Regards

    Mar

    No useful info I can give you I'm afraid, but I'm interested in any
    replies as we've got a dog AND five cats!

    Our company uses airpets, who are based just outside of Heathrow.
    They are fast, reliable and very informative.

    Hi Mark

    We are using Airpets - have heard rave reviews of their professionalism.
    They are picking our 3 cats up from Newcastle and Taking them to
    Heathrow - flying them to Melbourne and have given us a quote to have
    them delivered to Brisbane when we get there.
    Costing £2500 to get them to Australia - we then pay AQIS about £800
    after quarantine. They have done all the paperwork and all we needed to
    do was get them microchipped and Innoculated and boosted against Cat Flu
    and Entiritus.

    Local company over in Aus will collect them from Melbourne - fly them to
    Brisbane and deliver them to my Aunt and Uncle in Ridgewood - for only
    £250.
    Domestic air transport in AUs is extremely cheap - it seems that Richard
    Branson has single handedly economised Air Travel.

    Good luck with whatever you do - As for the Idiot who said he'd give you
    a recipe for a dog : well mate - if you have nothing to say that is
    useful please don't bother wasting peoples time.

    Thanks for the info, this sounds exactly what I was looking for, we'v
    already had the cats Chipped, they just need the docs, final jabs an
    some way to get there

    I'll do some more research on Airpets, in the meantime any additio
    (relevant) stories or recommendations would be appreciated!

    Regards
