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!

Cheers

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

Mar
