While passengers who travelled with us from Greece were reunited with their families in the UK, courier Richard set off to France to collect Pinot and Grigio, a gorgeous pair of tuxedo cats.

Jessie

As soon as we pulled up in the van, Jessie just knew that her owners Angelica and Nikos were nearby.

Yoshi

Maria was ecstatic to have her handsome British Blue Yoshi back — even though it was 11pm when we got there! Yoshi knew Maria right away and made lots of loving sounds.

Maria wrote to say:

“A big thank you for transferring safely Yoshi from Greece to Kidderminster. You treated my cat with love. You are a team of high-level professionals. Thank you so much, my cat and me are very happy and content.”

Cassie

There were a few hold-ups on the trip, but Cassie took everything in her stride. She chattered away as Emma carried her indoors. Emma got in touch, saying:

“I wanted to thank you for everything. It was absolutely wonderful to be reunited with Cassie and I am so grateful for all your help and assistance. You provide an amazing service and I don’t know how you do it. I would be constantly weeping!”

Pinot and Grigio

Courier Richard travelled to France to collect Pinot and Grigio, a pair of black-and-white character cats who’re swapping the Dordogne for the UK. The route took him through beautiful forests, along winding roads, past stately chateaux, and in and out of small medieval towns with lively Sunday markets. 

Once the cats were on board, they settled down quickly and soon revealed just how much they love chin rubs and tickles.

And finally… Nova

Back in August, we drove Matilda’s gorgeous cat Nova to Berlin. Matilda was kind enough to get in touch to tell us how Nova was getting on, and to send some photos.

“Thank you for quickly and safely getting Nova to us in Germany. She’s settled in already and is being really confident, hasn’t seemed scared or confused at all like I assumed she would. She’s even kind of made friends with the other cat that lives here (making friends for her means not hissing at him, haha). 

Thanks again for your service 🙂 will definitely use you again in the future when we need an animal moving.”

Matilda says: "a picture of Nova chilling, though she seems to prefer pulling all of the shoes out from the shoe rack and sleeping in the bottom of that so far — typical)!"
