EU COUNTRIES AND COUNTRIES ON THE CONTINENT OF EUROPE
Within the EU
and in non-EU countries on the continent the regulations are the same (see
above). The requirements of the passport, chip, rabies vaccination and
deworming are very strict and must be followed accordingly. This means that a
kitten is usually 4 months old when she/he can start the journey.
CARRIERS
Road transport should be booked and settled by the new families. We can help with recommendations but do not undertake organisation.
Flights are a
bit complicated. We recommend you to pick up and fly together with your kitten.
For cabin
flight as hand luggage you need to
confirm with the airline or airlines that
they will carry animals. Many of them happily fly pets, e.g. Alitalia,
Lufthansa, Air Berlin, SAS, KLM, Air France, Swissair, etc. The cost of flying a kitten within Europe is about EUR 70 (plus your own
ticket). If taking a kitten as hand luggage, the rule is one kitten per
box per passenger.
If the kitten flies in the cargo, air companies do not
accept check-in from individuals, only from registered transport partners. Two
kittens can travel together as cargo in one box.
CARRIER BOX
The carrier box must comply with the IATA regulations as for dimensions. In case of flying in cabin, the size of the box is the same as that of the hand luggage. For cargo travel the dimensions are adjusted to the individual pet’s body size. Basically the kitten must be able to stand up and lie comfortably in the box. According to the regulations two animals can share the same container if the animals are under 14kg and are of the same species and compatible, which is a very favourable thing when siblings travel together.
