<p>Oh, wow - what a great ending!! So happy about the kitty!</p>
<p>So happy that the kitty gets to spend his remaining days in a loving home!</p>
<p>Good job, MommaJ.</p>
<p>I had a feeling this would end well! Good job!</p>
<p>Hooray! I’m glad to hear it. Thanks for the update.</p>
<p>I am so happy to hear that ! Thanks for letting us know.</p>
<p>Uh oh. Is air travel hard on cats? I intend to board my two cats for two days while i move across country and then have them shipped to me. The one quote I got was more than triple my airfare.</p>
<p>Though if I ran across a family here that wanted two wonderful 6 year old cats, I’d consider leaving them here. With an empty nest, and us traveling, the cats are going to be a bit more lonely than they were with all the teens in the house.</p>
<p>^^^ My brother-in-law adopted a cat in Houston and shipped him to his Denver home. The cat did just fine. BIL used someone my vet recommended who handled all the details. BIL boarded the cat with the vet overnight and got any lapsed immunizations, etc., taken care of. The rest was handled beautifully by the shipper and the airlines. BIL met the cat at the airport when it landed and all has been great for the last 7 years. (Lucky, lucky cat with a sad story. Young wife died of cancer and husband overdosed after the funeral - either intentionally or not. Cat ended up next door to me with wife’s sister, but she had two inside cats who absolutely refused to welcome this one into the mix. Throw in an infant and a toddler and her sister’s suddenly orphaned preschooler. Attention focused on the young boy, as it should. I’m not sure the family would have brought the cat home with them except that they wanted the little boy to have the family cat with him. This inside-only kitty became a lonely outside only cat and desperately needed a home. It and my BIL attached over a Christmas vacation and BIL asked if he could adopt: the rest is history.)</p>
<p>Airshipping cats should be fine. But why can’t the cats go with you and be boarded on the other end? Much cheaper that way.</p>
