Our Services

We provide end-to-end UK to France cat relocation services that prioritise comfort, compliance, and peace of mind. Every step is planned with precision, using our knowledge of animal welfare and cross-border regulations.

Pre-Relocation Consultation and Health Preparation

A successful move begins with preparation. During your consultation, we assess your cat’s medical history, temperament, and travel readiness. We coordinate with your vet to confirm vaccinations, microchip validity, and health certificates required for entry into France. If your cat is nervous or has specific behavioural traits, we tailor travel routines and comfort measures to minimise stress.

Our detailed pre-move checklist ensures no element is overlooked, giving owners clarity about timelines and requirements before departure.

Documentation and Veterinary Coordination

Many cat owners face frustration with international paperwork. Our UK to France cat relocation team manages all required documents including Animal Health Certificates, microchip verification, rabies vaccinations, and tapeworm treatment records (if applicable).

We work directly with licensed veterinarians to ensure forms meet both UK and French standards. All documents are verified before departure, preventing any border complications. This attention to compliance guarantees a smooth entry for your cat into France.

Personalised Ground Transport

Cats require a calm and controlled travel environment. Our vehicles are equipped with temperature control, quiet ventilation, and soft containment areas designed for feline comfort. Handlers maintain a tranquil setting, avoiding loud noise or sudden movement.

We provide door-to-door collection from your UK address to your chosen French destination, including regular welfare checks, hydration stops, and progress updates. Whether your destination is Paris, Nice, or Lyon, your cat travels under the best possible conditions.

Personalised Ground Transport

Channel Crossing Coordination

Crossing from the UK to France is a critical phase in relocation. We arrange the Eurotunnel or ferry transfer based on your preference and your cat’s temperament. Our handlers manage all port procedures, customs requirements, and check-in formalities.

Your cat remains secure and supervised throughout the crossing. This professional management ensures reduced waiting times and lower stress levels, making your cat’s journey both efficient and comfortable.

Destination Support and Arrival Assistance

Upon arrival in France, additional steps may be necessary such as local microchip registration or veterinary check-ups. Our UK to France cat relocation service continues through the final stage, coordinating vet appointments, home delivery, and post-arrival welfare assessments.

We ensure your cat arrives home safely, settled, and compliant with French regulations. This attention after arrival makes integration easier for both you and your pet.

Multi-Cat Family Moves

Multi-Cat Family Moves

Families relocating multiple cats often face scheduling and space challenges. We specialise in multi-cat relocations, providing individual carriers within shared transport to ensure each cat’s comfort and safety. Our handlers are trained to manage group dynamics, feeding schedules, and rest breaks during the journey.

This coordinated approach keeps your cats calm and content from departure to arrival, reducing the risk of stress-related issues during travel.

Special Care and Senior Cat Travel

Older cats or those with medical conditions need additional support during relocation. Our handlers are trained to manage medication schedules, feeding preferences, and mobility needs. Vehicles are fitted with non-slip flooring and access ramps for easy handling.

We collaborate closely with your vet to ensure health conditions are managed correctly throughout the trip. This commitment to specialised care means senior and delicate cats travel safely under expert supervision.

Special Care and Senior Cat Travel

Post-Move Follow-Up and Welfare Monitoring

Relocation doesn’t end once your cat reaches France. We conduct post-move check-ins to ensure your cat adjusts well to the new environment. Our team provides advice on feeding routines, hydration, and settling techniques during the first few days.

We remain available to answer questions about local vet registration, dietary changes, or behavioural adaptation. This aftercare ensures your cat’s transition continues smoothly even after arrival.
