Cat Travel: Your Guide to Stress-Free International Journeys with Pet Moves

Travelling with your cat may seem daunting, but cat travel doesn’t have to be stressful or complicated. At Pet Moves, we specialise in making cat travel as comfortable and seamless as possible. Whether you’re planning an international move or a temporary relocation, our goal is to keep your cat calm, safe, and by your side.

Why Choose Pet Moves for Cat Travel?

Flying directly to the UK with a pet can be challenging due to strict regulations. This often requires pets to travel as cargo, which can be highly stressful, especially for cats, who are naturally sensitive to unfamiliar environments. Our unique approach to cat travel offers a better way: instead of flying to London, we guide you to fly to Paris, where cats can often accompany you in the cabin. From there, Pet Moves takes over, offering a stress-free chauffeur ride for both you and your cat directly to the UK.

The Benefits of Our Services

  1. Cabin Travel Options: Many airlines allow pets in the cabin for flights to Paris, giving your cat the chance to travel by your side rather than in the cargo hold. This greatly reduces stress and makes the journey more enjoyable for both of you.
  2. A Smooth Transition Across Borders: When you choose our service, Pet Moves will be ready to meet you at the Paris airport. With our chauffeur service, your journey from France to the UK will be smooth, ensuring that your cat travels comfortably in a relaxed, controlled environment.
  3. Cost-Effective and Convenient: Our service is often more affordable than directly flying to the UK with your pet. Plus, with Pet Moves, you can enjoy a scenic drive through France without worrying about logistics.

Preparing for Cat Travel with Pet Moves

Successful pet travel starts with careful preparation. Here’s how we help make every detail fall into place:

  1. Pet Travel Documentation Assistance: We’re experienced in ensuring all documents are in order—from pet passports and vaccinations to microchips. For those planning pet travel from countries outside of the EU, we’ll walk you through all steps to meet entry requirements, so you can focus on a smooth journey.
  2. Comfortable Cat Travel Essentials: Cats are creatures of habit, and they need familiar items to stay relaxed on their journey. Pet Moves can help you choose the right carrier and recommend items, such as soft blankets and toys, to keep your cat feeling secure.
  3. Pre-Travel Tips: Before you embark on your cat travel journey, we advise letting your cat become comfortable with their travel carrier. Gradual familiarisation at home can make a significant difference on travel day.

Why Fly to France Rather Than Directly to the UK?

Choosing to fly into France instead of directly to the UK is often the best approach when travelling with pets. Direct flights to London often require that pets be transported in the hold as cargo, resulting in a longer, more stressful experience. By flying into Paris, you can avoid the cargo requirement, allowing your cat to stay comfortably in the cabin with you and reducing the overall stress and time spent in transit. From there, Pet Moves offers a smooth chauffeur service to the UK, ensuring the final leg of your journey is stress-free and enjoyable.
