Couriers Gwen and Ricardo helped 37 cats travel from England to Germany by road.

The cats are the pride and joy of Louise, who has been a breeder and shower for many years.

Having decided to relocate from West Yorkshire to Lower Saxony in Germany with her family, Louise asked Animalcouriers to transport 37 of her cats. As there were so many, we needed two vans and two couriers.

Louise worked with Animalcouriers’ customs manager, our couriers, and her own vet to organise the cats’ paperwork and decide on groupings in the vans.

Travelling in our smaller van were Candy, Brodie, Patty, Obsidian, Gethsemane, Swan, Ebony, Peregrine, Oudh, Tourmaline and Velvet.

And in our larger van: Aces, Pansy, Catalina, Casino, Daisy, Banana, BB, Nightshade, Takeoff, Headlights, Gucci, Runner, Bella, Tinka, China, Saskia, Toulouse, Coco, Dixie, Simba, Tatoo, Sabba, Rita and Toto.
