Re: Transporting my cat from Canada to UK

No need to use an agent to help you with the paperwork. You can get that help on this forum. The paperwork looks incomprehensible but it is doable. Your vet fills it in (well you help), you then need...

Re: Transporting my cat from Canada to UK

I used Air Canada to move from Toronto to London.

Word of warning...it is not cheap - more expensive than my airfare. Suggest you call a couple of airlines and get a quote

Re: Why did you leave Canada to move back to the UK

I stand corrected, it is people who live outside Toronto who think Torontonians think Toronto is the centre of the universe.

I lived in Toronto for over 30 years and never once thought it was...

Re: Moving with pets, or not

Re: Moving with pets, or not

Going to the UK from Canada, all pets go in the hold, cats and dogs. Air Canada Cargo Live handles things, there are few blackouts and it is not inexpensive.
