Private Cat Relocation Service in the UK
Moving your cat safely is not a simple errand. Every detail—from paperwork to flight routing—needs skilled handling. At Pets Let’s Travel, we understand the emotional and logistical pressure of relocating your cat, whether across the country or overseas. Our private cat relocation service UK-wide provides a structured, personalised process that prioritises welfare, comfort, and peace of mind from start to finish.
Our Services
Relocating a cat requires more than booking transport—it demands coordination, compliance, and sensitivity. Our private cat relocation service UK specialists manage the process end to end, ensuring your cat’s journey meets all legal and welfare standards.
Below are the eight services we provide to ensure a safe and smooth relocation experience.
Domestic Cat Relocation within the UK
For families and individuals moving within the UK, we manage the entire process. This includes planning routes, securing suitable travel environments, and arranging collection and drop-off times to suit your schedule. Each cat is transported in climate-controlled, secure vehicles designed to minimise stress and motion discomfort.
We coordinate with you directly to manage timing, comfort stops, and welfare checks throughout the journey. Every stage is supervised by trained handlers who prioritise safety and calm handling techniques.
International Cat Relocation
International travel involves complex regulations, paperwork, and animal welfare standards. Our international relocation team ensures every requirement—from import permits to veterinary certificates—is managed accurately and on time.
We work closely with airlines, customs offices, and destination authorities to secure a smooth entry for your cat into its new country. All documentation and transit plans are double-checked to prevent delays and unnecessary stress.
Our team keeps you updated at each stage, ensuring transparency and confidence throughout the international process.
Door-to-Door Cat Collection and Delivery
Convenience is vital when you’re managing a move. Our door-to-door collection and delivery service provides full logistical support, including home pick-up, safe transport, and delivery to your new address or airport of departure.
This service is ideal for clients relocating abroad or within the UK who want a simplified, fully managed process. Each vehicle is equipped for temperature control, quiet travel conditions, and hygiene standards suitable for animal transport.
We coordinate timeframes directly with your moving schedule, ensuring your cat’s relocation fits neatly into your overall plans.
Custom Travel Crate Preparation
A secure, comfortable travel crate is essential for safe relocation. We design and prepare travel containers that meet international airline standards and DEFRA regulations. Each crate is selected based on your cat’s breed, size, and temperament to ensure comfort during long journeys.
We can also precondition your cat to the crate environment before travel to reduce anxiety. Proper ventilation, padding, and hydration setups are included as part of our crate service.
Our attention to travel preparation eliminates unnecessary risks and helps your cat travel in calm conditions.
Veterinary Coordination and Health Certification
Every cat relocation requires precise veterinary documentation. Our coordination service covers all required vaccinations, microchip checks, and health certifications as mandated by UK and international authorities.
We liaise directly with your vet or connect you with accredited professionals who understand animal relocation standards. This ensures all paperwork is accurate and compliant with destination regulations.
By managing veterinary requirements ahead of time, we prevent travel interruptions and ensure a smooth process through customs and inspection points.
Quarantine and Boarding Management
When a destination country requires quarantine, we arrange approved facilities and oversee your cat’s stay. We ensure the accommodation meets comfort and welfare standards, including proper feeding, climate control, and daily monitoring.
For temporary boarding before or after relocation, we work with trusted facilities across the UK. These partners maintain hygiene and care standards equivalent to home-level comfort.
Our team manages bookings, updates, and post-relocation transition support to help your cat settle smoothly.
Corporate and Diplomatic Pet Relocation
For clients relocating under corporate or diplomatic assignments, discretion and reliability are essential. We coordinate directly with HR teams, relocation officers, and embassy representatives to structure a fully managed relocation plan.
Every aspect—from document preparation to international customs coordination—is handled with confidentiality and care. Whether moving one pet or several, our private cat relocation service UK division ensures consistent communication and punctual delivery aligned with your travel schedule.
We also manage multi-country assignments and long-term relocations under corporate mobility programs.
Partner Support for Pet Transport Agencies
We collaborate with pet transport agencies seeking dependable partners within the UK. Our infrastructure supports inbound and outbound feline relocations through airport coordination, temporary boarding, and secure ground transport.
We handle airport collections, customs clearance assistance, and welfare supervision during transitions. Our partnership services are used by agencies that require credible on-ground management for their clients’ cats within or out of the UK.
