Pet Travel Expert

Last week, OK! Magazine reported that Russell Brand, a British movie star (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) wouldn't live with his girlfriend, American rockstar Katy Perry, in the US because "someone has got to feed" his cat.  OK! went on to quote Brand as saying, "I am getting him a pet passport which means he can travel around as much as he likes."  He also quipped a bit about the funny thought of pets having passports, sounding much like the pet shippers around here.  "Unfortunately, they don't do photos," Brand told OK! "I was really looking forward to that."

USA Today also got in on the furry story, mentioning that the pet passport falls under the required Pet Travel Scheme for pet travel to and from the UK.  Because of the UK's rabies-free status, additional precautions must be taken prior to taking pets in and out of the country.  As part of our door-to-door services, our specialists obtain the pet passports upon behalf of the pet's owner -- which means that Brand could be saving himself a lot of time and trouble.

While Brand's domestic shorthair struggles prove celebrities are just like us, you can also tell he is dealing with some pretty typical catty behavior.  "He hissed at me yesterday," Brand said of his disgruntled cat.  "I tried to explain to him but he doesn't understand concepts such as international travel and work.  You can't just send him the occasional postcard saying things are going well. I've got to look after him."

Hopefully, Brand's cat will be able to obtain the valid paperwork he needs so Brand can get out of the dog house and back on Katy Perry's good list!
