Our Services
When relocating a pedigree cat internationally, every stage matters. Our services cover the full spectrum of the relocation process, from documentation to final delivery in Europe. Each service is designed to solve a specific challenge that cat owners face, ensuring that nothing is overlooked and your cat’s welfare remains the top priority.
Veterinary Compliance and Health Certifications
One of the most crucial aspects of pedigree cat relocation from the USA to Europe is meeting the health requirements of the European Union. Without the proper veterinary certifications, your cat may be denied entry or placed into long quarantines. Our team coordinates with accredited veterinarians to secure health certificates, vaccination records, and microchip documentation. We ensure that every form is completed accurately and submitted within the correct timeframe. By managing this process, we reduce the risk of delays and complications, allowing your cat to travel with the proper medical clearances.
Pet Passport and Documentation Management
Europe requires strict documentation for pedigree cats entering from the USA, including pet passports and import permits in certain cases. We handle all paperwork on your behalf, organizing EU-compliant pet passports, rabies vaccination confirmations, and endorsements from USDA-approved veterinarians. We know the specific requirements that vary by country within Europe, whether your cat is traveling to France, Germany, Spain, or the UK. Our document management service eliminates the stress of researching international regulations and ensures every document is in order before your cat’s journey begins.
Custom Travel Crate Preparation
Airlines and European authorities enforce strict rules on the type of travel crates allowed for animal transport. Standard crates often do not meet International Air Transport Association (IATA) specifications. Our service includes sourcing or customizing crates that meet IATA standards, ensuring safety, comfort, and compliance. We consider the size, breed, and temperament of your pedigree cat to recommend the most suitable crate. Proper crate preparation not only satisfies airline regulations but also reduces your cat’s stress during long flights by providing a secure and familiar environment.
Flight Coordination and Airline Compliance
Not all airlines handle pedigree cat relocation with the same level of care. Some carriers have restrictions on certain breeds or require specific booking procedures. We work with trusted airlines that specialize in live animal transport, arranging direct or minimal-connection flights whenever possible. By coordinating flight schedules, temperature regulations, and live cargo handling, we minimize risks and ensure your cat’s journey is safe from takeoff to landing. Our knowledge of airline compliance saves you time and prevents last-minute disruptions.
Customs Clearance and Import Procedures
Upon arrival in Europe, pedigree cats must go through customs inspection and veterinary checks. Improper handling of this stage can cause delays or quarantines. Our team arranges for customs clearance by providing all required paperwork in advance, coordinating with destination airport officials, and ensuring veterinary inspections are completed without issue. By having professionals manage this step, you avoid unexpected problems and ensure your cat is released into your care or delivered to your new home promptly.
Quarantine Planning and Risk Reduction
While most European countries do not require lengthy quarantines for pedigree cats arriving from the USA if all requirements are met, missing documents or incorrect vaccinations can lead to quarantine periods. We reduce this risk by carefully reviewing every health and travel requirement before departure. If quarantine cannot be avoided due to country-specific rules, we help arrange facilities that meet high standards of safety and comfort for your cat. This service ensures you have peace of mind knowing your cat’s welfare is secure, even in less-than-ideal circumstances.
Ground Transportation in the USA and Europe
The relocation process does not start at the airport, nor does it end there. Many owners need assistance with ground transport from their home in the USA to the airport, as well as from the European airport to their new residence. We provide safe ground transportation options with vehicles designed to carry animals securely. This ensures your pedigree cat is transferred without unnecessary stress or delays. Whether you live in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, or Houston, we arrange pickup and delivery services that handle every leg of the journey with precision.
Personalized Relocation Planning and Owner Support
Every pedigree cat relocation has unique requirements depending on the breed, country of entry, and airline regulations. That’s why we offer personalized relocation planning. This includes a full timeline of what needs to be done, reminders for vaccination schedules, assistance with country-specific regulations, and ongoing support for owners. We answer your questions throughout the process and make sure you feel confident at each stage of the relocation. Our goal is to reduce your stress so you can focus on settling into your new home while we manage the complexities of the relocation.
