You may remember Bacon the cat, who we collected in Portugal on our last trip. He couldn’t go straight to the UK as his passport wasn’t ready, so he’s been staying with friends in France.
As we pulled in, we could see him waiting at the window, bags packed and impatient to be on his way.
On the way to the ferry port he told us all about his stay in Calais and what he thought of goat’s cheese, and said that he will be very pleased to get back to roast dinners on Sundays.
All set to go home
Charlie and Buster are relocating to England with their owners Elliot, Abi and Annabel. Here they are saying a fond farewell.
They will soon be reunited with Buster (the one with the eyebrows), but Charlie will be spending some time in quarantine kennels. Luckily his owners will be only 10 minutes away so he’ll be getting lots of visits.
See you soon!
When we collected Charlie the African Grey, we were told he wasn’t speaking much. Not a bit of it!
Charlie is now calling us by name — yesterday I heard him say my name in M’s voice. Then when M called to Toffee the dog, we heard a little echo of M’s voice saying “Toffee, be quiet.”
And when our vet said she would “look at the cats later” a little voice piped up saying “cats later, cats later.”
So there’s absolutely nothing wrong with Charlie’s voice! He continues to keep us very amused.
Weed the black and white cat is probably going to win the ‘cat of the trip’ award. He’s undoubtedly the chattiest cat ever, and always looking for attention.
He’s also incredibly nosy and takes an interest in everything that’s going on. We’re thinking of having net curtains fitted!
Hami is leaving Orba in Spain to join her family in Kent. Here she is with her owner’s parents who have been looking after her for five months while she waited for her passport. She’s such a pretty little girl, with a new hairdo specially for her trip home!
She told us that she has children at home to play with her. She also confided that she likes going for walks, and after today we would agree she really does.
Happy Hami
We are just getting to know Franco who joined us with Gucci. Such a handsome boy!
Is this my good side?
This is the best picture we could get of Gucci when we met up with him again. He was so excited he licked everyone, leapt into the van, and checked his bowl, as he has been with us before and knows about treats for getting into his kennel. Then he licked us some more!
Gucci’s journey home has been somewhat lengthy. We originally collected him in Spain in February, but the local vet had failed to tell Gucci’s family that his rabies blood test showed levels of antibodies that were too low for him to travel. So we took him to friendly kennels who have looked after him during the time it has taken to get his passport sorted.
Now at last he can go home! We are so pleased for his family who have waited so long for him.
What's on the menu?
Weed the black and white cat. Weed was vociferous when the journey started but seems to have settled quickly into the routine, especially as the cuisine appears to be up to the expected standard.
He is very quick to let you know when it’s time to make a fuss of him — tickle my ears and do scratch my head please!
I'm ready now
Tilly is a little campo dog. Rescued from a very hard life, she is now on her way to live in Rochester in Kent.
She was very happy in her kennels in Alhama de Granada and isn’t at all sure she wants to be travelling. We’ll work hard to ensure she’s confident in our care until she gets home.
Tilly getting used to travelling
This is cheeky Charlie the African grey, bound for Bournemouth. You can tell he has been used to the ‘good life’ as periodically we get an order for ‘gin and tonic’…
