Moving your cat internationally can be a daunting experience. With many details to manage, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. That's where our cat transport service comes in—we're here to help you navigate the complexities and ensure a safe, smooth journey for your beloved feline friend.

Understanding Country Import Requirements

  • To ensure a seamless relocation, it's essential to research and complies with the rules specific to your destination. Find your country's import rules here.

Ensuring Your Cat’s Vaccination Status is Up to date

  • Vaccinations play a crucial role in international cat travel.
  • At a minimum, your cat will need an updated rabies vaccine. Depending on your destination, additional vaccines may be required.
  • Consult your veterinarian to verify your cat's vaccination status and plan accordingly.

Planning Your Timeline: The Importance of Flexibility

  • Shipping a cat overseas typically requires one to three months of planning. However, if you're relocating to a rabies-free country like Australia or New Zealand, you may need at least six months of preparation.
  • Determine your move date early and build a flexible timeline for your cat's travel arrangements.

Microchipping Your Cat for Safety

Microchip

While microchipping may not always be required, we highly recommend it for your cat's safety and identification. Review the import requirements for your destination and microchip your cat either way.
