Couriers J and M made a European trip with cats, dogs and a hamster called Ham-Ham. Courier M initially headed to Sweden from the UK with Nisse the cat, then made his way to Denmark, where courier J joined him.

Nisse

Adorable tabby cat NIsse belongs to Andrew, who’s relocated for work from West Sussex to Västragöteland in Sweden. Nisse travelled with us for a reunion with her family at their new Swedish home.

Ham-Ham

Having collected courier J at Copenhagen airport, we drove to Berlin to meet Syrian hamster Ham-Ham. He belongs to Helen and family, who’ve moved from the German capital to Essex.

Helen takes delivery of Ham-Ham, in his rather splendid quarters. Helen wrote to say: "Thank you to everyone involved in getting Ham-Ham back to the UK for us. Really great service, I’m very glad we used you."

Bella and Rosie

From Berlin we made our way to the Netherlands to collect Bella and Rosie. We first met this gorgeous pair of Rotties a couple of years ago, when we arranged their flights from the UK to Bahrain.

With the family now relocating to Monza in Italy, Bella and Rosie flew from Bahrain to Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport. After a night’s rest, they were ready to hop on board our van for their onward journey to Monza.
