A move back to Scotland for Simon and Lucy

Animalcouriers collected Blythe’s two cats from Lausanne in Switzerland for their journey to the family home in Scotland.

It was a return trip for the cats and for Animalcouriers, as we transported Simon and Lucy to Lausanne in 2010.

Blythe wrote to let us know how the cats are getting on now they’re back in Scotland:

“Just to say THANK YOU for looking after my two on their trip. They arrived at my Dad’s incredibly chilled out, and immediately settled in. I think that speaks volumes that the trip went well (OK they maybe did not actually enjoy it, but it’s clear they were treated very well).

I hear Lucy behaved OK which is great – obviously she heard my attempt to blacken her character to courier M2 and decided to prove me wrong

I definitely would not hesitate to use you again, and recommend you to others.”

Lucy, who’s not too keen on this house-moving business

Simon, described by Blythe as a ‘yo-yo dieter’

Minksie swaps Brighton for Grand Cayman

Animalcouriers recently arranged for very beautiful cat Minksie to move from Brighton to Grand Cayman — but her journey was not as straightforward as it should have been.

A rabies blood test result has to be available before a Cayman Island import permit can be issued. Minksie’s vet in Brighton started the preparations, but unfortunately the blood sample went astray. So her very concerned owner, Niqui, had to leave Minksie with Animalcouriers to take over the preparations for her move to the sun.

So lovely, sociable Minksie boarded with us for rather longer than initially planned. Fortunately all’s well that ends well — Minksie and Niqui have now been reunited in the Caribbean. Niqui wrote to say:

“Thanks so much for looking after Minksie. It’s great to have her back. So many new and exciting (also scary) sounds on the island for her to get used to but she seems to be settling in. Wild chickens and big/loud storms (we’re on a tropical storm watch — may be upgraded to hurricane).”
