Poppy and Lily Family cats Poppy and Lily left the Munich area of Germany with Animalcouriers on their way to the UK. They're used to travel, having previously lived in New Zealand, and they settled into the trip straight away. They'll have a short stay with family members in Worcestershire until their owners complete their move. A last hug for precious Poppy Lovely Lily all settled in Panda and Pickles [...]

Muddle and Lilli swap the UK for Sweden

While couriers J and M round up UK-bound passengers in Portugal and Spain, courier S set off in a more northerly direction, heading for Sweden. On board were cats Muddle and Lilli, collected from a cattery in Stoke on Trent, where they stayed while their owners went on ahead to prepare for their arrival. Care instructions and character descriptions accompanied these two beauties. The top tip was that both cats love having a fuss, so courier S has been dishing out plenty of cuddles. After crossing the Channel, they stopped at Calais for the night, then had a clear day [...]

Some of our passengers are relocating, while others are going on holiday with their families. Kali, Apache and Leiah This trio of gorgeous Labs are travelling from Gloucestershire to the Tarn, where they and their owners are spending a holiday.

BoBo to Hong Kong, Jack to the Netherlands, Giorgio to Rome, and news from the UK

A number of our couriers have been on the road recently — travelling around England, Scotland and Wales; hopping across the Channel; and going as far as the Netherlands and Italy. BoBo BoBo was found abandoned in a public car park in Leicester six months ago, and had the good fortune to be taken in and nurtured by her caring new owner.

Meet our passengers from Greece who are on their way to the UK

Six dogs and two cats from the mainland, and five dogs from the island of Lesvos, are travelling with us to the UK. Akis, who runs a pet taxi service, did a sterling job to help round everyone up.

He looked after them at his home overnight, then brought them to our meeting point the following morning. Julius Julius has been adopted from Lesvos by Andy.
