on the road with Animalcouriers

We recently helped Ragdoll cats Hamish and Charlie relocate from Scotland to Bristol. Before that, we transported pets to Germany and from Sweden, and met three toy poodles and a Bengal cat with the yummiest names.

Hamish and Charlie, 2 cats from Aberdeen to Bristol

Beautiful Ragdoll cats Hamish and Charlie travelled with us from Aberdeen to Bristol. Their owner just had a baby and needed to rehome them.

Ragdoll cats are known for their calm nature. Intelligent, affectionate and gentle, these quite large cats are also playful to the point of being quite puppy-like.

A magnificent cat!

The boys settling in at their new home. It looks like they’ve fallen on their paws!

Isabella, a dog from England to Germany

We collected gorgeous Whippet Isabella from Kevin in Norfolk. Much like Ragdoll cats, Whippets are know for being gentle, affectionate and calm. Isabella travelled with us to Bavaria in Germany, where Katherina was on hand to receive her while Kevin completed his journey.

Winston, a dog from Sweden to the UK

From Germany we headed to Uppsala in Sweden to meet Winston, a Hungarian Vizsla. We collected him from his owners Jonathan and Olivia and delivered him to Lisa in Shropshire, who looked after him until his owners arrived. Originally bred as hunting dogs, Vizslas also make great household companions and family dogs.

Bon voyage, Winston!

Such a handsome fellow

Winston was very well behaved in our hotel room

Baldr and Tyr, 2 cats from Sweden to Wales

Awaiting us in Stockholm were Hayley’s Norwegian Forest cats, Baldr and Tyr, whose names are as splendid as their looks. While Hayley made her way to the UK, we delivered her beloved pets to a cattery in Wales.

Norwegian Forest cats are even larger than Ragdolls. They have a thick, glossy coat and are friendly, intelligent, and good with people.

Darling Tyr

Spotted in Wales: sheep (of course!)…

…and a traditional red phone box!

Papi, a dog from Sweden to England

Sweet-pea Papi is a Shih Tzu mix belonging to Sanaz and Milad. We collected her from Sanaz in Gothenburg and delivered her to Milad in the Manchester area, while Sanaz took the plane.

The city is named for the Göta älv (or Göta River)

Sanaz entrusted dear little Papi to us in Gothenburg

A family of four pets from Shropshire to Berkshire

Gabi’s four pets have the most delicious names: Bengal cat Marmalade and Toy Poodles Crumble, Custard and Cookie. A breed of water dog, poodles are intelligent, energetic and sociable, and these three were no exception.

We collected them from a kennels in Shopshire and delivered them to Gabi at home in Berkshire.

Cuteness overload: Crumble, Custard and Cookie

A happy (and sunny) reunion with Gabi
