Our Services
When it comes to relocating your cat from the US to UK, every detail matters. From vaccinations to flight logistics, one missed step can lead to delays, fines, or even quarantine. Here’s how we make sure that never happens to you.
Pre-Travel Veterinary Compliance
The UK has strict rules around microchipping, rabies vaccinations, and health certificates for pets checking in. One small mistake here could mean your cat gets denied entry.
Our team coordinates with USDA-accredited vets across the USA to ensure:
- Correct microchip implantation and scanning
- Rabies vaccination done at the right time
- USDA health certificates completed and endorsed
- Clear guidance on timing so you don’t miss deadlines
We’ll manage the timeline so you don’t risk costly setbacks. With us, your cat’s paperwork is always in order, stamped, and accepted by UK authorities.
Pet Travel Crate Preparation
You need a proper IATA-approved crate to ensure your cat’s safe space for the journey. Airlines reject non-compliant crates, and an uncomfortable crate can make travel miserable for your cat.
To avoid rejections, we measure, size, and supply crates that meet international air transport rules. Inside, we include:
- Absorbent bedding for comfort and hygiene
- Familiar-smelling items to calm anxiety
- Ventilation that ensures steady airflow
Our preparation makes the crate a secure, calming spot that helps reduce stress during the long flight.
Flight Booking and Airline Coordination
Not every airline is pet-friendly. Booking the wrong carrier can risk delays or unsafe conditions for your cat.
To avoid that, we secure spots with only airlines that have strong track records for pet care. Our service includes:
- Booking routes with the least stress (fewest layovers, shortest transit times)
- Priority boarding for pets to minimize waiting
- Constant coordination with airline staff from check-in to arrival
You’ll know exactly where your cat is, every step of the way.
Customs Clearance in the UK
We manage all import documentation, liaise with customs officials, and ensure your cat clears inspection without complications. Our ground team in the UK is ready the moment your cat lands, ensuring a fast and smooth release.
Ground Transport on Both Sides
Getting to and from airports with a stressed cat isn’t easy. That’s why we arrange ground transportation both in the USA and the UK.
From pick-up at your home to delivery in your new UK residence, we coordinate:
- Climate-controlled vehicles for safety
- Trained animal handlers to monitor your cat during the drive
- GPS tracking for peace of mind
As you can see, landing in London or Manchester is just the start. UK customs can be overwhelming if you’re not prepared. Missing one document means delays in customs holding facilities.
By handling the door-to-door service, we ensure your cat’s comfort doesn’t stop once the plane lands.
Quarantine-Free Relocation
You don’t want your cat stuck in quarantine for weeks. With our USA to UK relocation service, we ensure compliance with the UK Pet Travel Scheme (PETS), so your cat travels without quarantine.
Here’s how we make it possible:
- Making sure your cat is fitted with an ISO-compliant chip before vaccination
- Rabies vaccination completed within the correct time frame for UK entry
- Health certificate endorsed by the USDA to meet UK import requirements
- Documentation submitted within strict government deadlines
- Communication with customs officials to confirm paperwork is accepted before travel
By meeting vaccination, microchip, and paperwork requirements, your cat goes straight home with you. No cages. No delays. No separation.
Travel Insurance Coverage
Unexpected events happen, and having the right protection matters. We offer optional travel insurance plans covering:
- Flight delays or cancellations
- Emergency vet care during travel
- Loss or damage of pet belongings
This layer of protection gives you extra confidence knowing your cat is covered.
