You know how they say "She doesn't look a day over thirty?"  Well, that's how we feel about Sadie, a beautiful Persian we recently moved from San Francisco, California to Shanghai, China.  You'd never know in looking at the pictures that Sadie is actually fifteen years old!

One of our specialists, Cara, helped put together Sadie's move, making things smooth sailing for this elderly cat.  It's important to get pets used to their travel crates ahead of time, paticularly when they're older.  This helps calm their nerves and ensures smooth travels for them.  Her owner, Diana, let us know that crate training was going well with this picture, which was taken before Sadie's big move.  She said Sadie had actually enjoyed staying in the crate and sleeping in it.

After the move, we got a nice note from Diana letting us know how Sadie was doing when she arrived on the other side of the globe:

Cara, Thank you so much for making this experience uneventful for us! I am so happy that she made it here as it was a 48 hour journey for us!!! She is such a trooper and am so happy that she made it at her age.  I hope she will live to see San Francisco again!

We hope Sadie gets to travel back to San Francisco someday, too!  In the meantime, we hope she enjoys living her "golden years" in China!
