Courier Mike recently made a trip to Provence in the south of France with regular passenger Oscar; and another to Portugal with dogs belonging to two families. Courier Mike flew home from Portugal, handing over the van to couriers J and M to transport a family of 18 cats and a dog relocating from Spain to France.
Oscar
Much loved Oscar belongs to David and James, who split their time between Londonderry and Provence.
This splendid little chap broke his journey by homeboarding with courier J. He proved to be the perfect houseguest!

Harley, Sasha and Chippie
Border Collie Harley, Greyhound Sasha and Scottie Chippie travelled with courier Mike from East Grinstead to rejoin their family who’ve relocated to Portugal.
Owner Anoushka wrote to say:
“Three very happy dogs received. Courier Mike was brilliant. Sasha was ready to get back in the van when Mike was leaving! The dogs feeling already quite at home.”
Handsome Harley
Gorgeous Sasha
Dear Chippie
Biggie
Courier Mike stopped off in Paris to collect Pug Biggie, travelling with us to owner Alex’s mother in southern Spain.
Adorable Biggie
18 cats and one dog
Rory and Robert have relocated with their large family of cats and a dog from Alicante in Spain, where they found the summers too hot, to the banks of Vienne in the Dordogne region of France.
Originally the owners of one cat, they visited a local rescue centre when their cat went missing, in the hope of finding it there. Sadly there was no sign, but they came away with a kitten. They went on to foster three cats, which became part of the family. Over time, they adopted cats who were sick or injured; or who originally belonged to friends or conveyancing clients who returned to their home countries.
At their new home, the cats and dogs — all calm and well behaved travellers — have a lovely woodland area and riverbanks to explore.
We collected Rory and Robert’s crew from Angela, owner of Pampered Cats Cattery near Catral, a very nice cattery alongside an equally nice livery stables

Rory and Robert welcoming their beloved cats to their new French home
We hope we passed muster!
Lily has beautiful eyes love her.
We agree, they are rather special.
we hope the cats and the dog will like france as much as they liked spain… and currently it is more the oppisite here from too hot lOL
Ha ha, yes and there’s a huge storm cruising over France as I type! Hope it misses them and you…
I always try to pick “the cutest” or my favorite picture and it just isn’t possible!! 🙂
They are a hugely cute bunch, can understand your dilemma!
Rory and Robert are good people for sure! And Oscar? May I steal him?
They are good people indeed. You’ll have to fight us for Oscar 😀
Beautiful passengers as always. Sending a salute to the couple with 18 cats and a cat-sized dog! I’m jealous!
Now now, you have no reason to be jealous, you have a rather fine menagerie as it is!
Lovely kitty passengers. I like Ellie and the bull.
Ellie and the bull are a fine couple.
Whenever I feel sad my best friend LAKTI makes me laugh.
They are very good at lifting spirits.
A number of those cats should be in the loveliest eyes contest!
You’re very good a spotting the next idea for a contest — we might have to take you up on that Clowie!
I wonder how Oscar would feel about moving to America?? 🙂
Just kidding…but we would love to have him at casita de Cardinal??
I am going to try to send this to one of my cousins in Houston – he has a little dog named Chippie that he adores…he needs to sign up for your feel-good animal posts!!
Thanks again for the stories and pictures. Brilliant.
Oscar must have a huge head as he’s been offered a large number of new homes now 😀 It’s a great name for a dog and has its own fashion brand too.
all beauties.
Thanks Jovina.
It is hard to beat a terrier for looking appealing.
Yes, even if they’ve eaten your homework.
WOW…..what a bunch of beautiful animals – the cats are amazing (of course!) but the pups are precious too. Looks like Rory and Robert have their own “shelter” going – bless them for taking in so many.
Hugs, Pam and Teddy too
The cats must have seen them coming! All delightful and very lucky beings.
A van full of cuteness and what a great help from Oscar 😀 Pawkisses for a Happy and Safe Travel ahead
Oscar knows the ropes and is always ready to help out 😀
