When Rowena decided to relocate from London to Lincoln, she asked us to take care of moving her cats. We arranged to collect them just before the removers came by, and deliver them to their new home once Rowena got there.
Rowena has 16 cats, all of which are rescues that she couldn’t resist helping. She’s moving to a big house in Lincoln with a large garden, where the cats will be very happy indeed. We managed to catch 13 of the 15 she wanted us to take. One of the missing is feral: he played his own version of cat and mouse with courier M and couldn’t be caught. Another feral was finally bundled up in a blanket for his journey.
Everyone else was exceptionally well behaved — a very calm and friendly group, which is testament to how well Rowena cares for them all.
In a bit of a huff, perhaps?

Arrival in Lincoln the next day — Rowena was delighted to see her ‘babies’ and declared she hadn’t slept a wink without them!
Wisely, Rowena initially allocated a room to the cats as their base, and said she would let them out into the house to explore, but not yet out of the house

we bet the kotties enjoyed the trip with you… and we are so happy that they found the best travel helpers ever…
The ones that decided they would travel with us! It actually went very well.
WOW! That’s a lot of kitties but at least it was a quick relocation – just one overnight in the travel mode for everyone and arriving in a new home. Too bad the feral got away but he’ll find another kind soul to help him I’m sure. Bless Rowena for taking in such a crowd of kitties needing a place to call home and to Animal Couriers for getting them back together again!
Hugs, Pam and Teddy
Yes, considerably quicker and a shorter distance than many moves. Rowena is fabulous and her kitties are a very sorted bunch.
That’s a real clowder of kitties.
It’s a large number but a very happy group.
Lots meowing going on! Wonderful care.
It did get a little rowdy at times!
Relocating 16 cats from one area to another shows the expertise you have with animals. Bravo!!
One did make an escape but everything else went smoothly 😉
Unbelievable! Rowena is a shero in my book, and her cats are gorgeous. I’m so glad to know they all made the trip safely and will now live happily in Lincoln wherever that may be?
Stay safe, my traveling friends.
Rowena is certainly a hero! Lincoln is the country town of Linconshire in Eastern England. Has a beautiful Cathedral. We’re sure Rowena and the cats will find the large garden and smaller city, a much more relaxing option.
That’s a lot of cats! –Curt
Ha ha, isn’t it!
I hope the cats all settle in quickly.
As they’re all together, it should happen quickly.
Bless Rowena for taking care of all these kitties so well!
She’s a lovely woman doing a fine thing.
Rowena sounds like someone I would like for a friend. Her cats look happy and healthy, and I think you all did a great job catching so many!
Rowena would make a great friend. We were disappointed that one did get away but, all in all, it was a very good trip.
