namaste is on a distinguished road
We brought our cat over three years ago. It was ALOT of paperwork. My vet had assured me that he had completed the papers several times. When we arrived however, I couldn't collect the cat b/c there was a signature missing on a form. So, the cat had to stay in the Pet Hostel, which was very impressive. My vet was on holiday, of course, and I couldn't get ahold of him for nearly two weeks! The Pet Hostel people phoned me everyday to update me on my cat's condition and to request that I visit him daily (difficult to do when living in NT and setting up house ). I was impressed with the level of care and their thoroughness. I wouldn't advise withholding too much food or water prior to the flight b/c it's important that your cat has enough stamina to get through the flight and be well hydrated along the way.
