Your sofa tiger needs her shots (30 days prior to flight) and cat passport. Should you plan to return with her she also needs to be chipped. Check with the airline you are using asap about animals in the cabin. It will be worth the couple of dollars to have her with you for the flight.

Cabin space for pets is very limited. Please do your homework as soon as possible. Get her moved to US cat food if possible. One less change in the US.

Ooops - him:>)

Actually, it's easier for the cat to get into the US than for most humans! I have heard, however, that some airlines are limiting or even discontinuing the practice of letting pets fly in the passenger cabin. Check around among the various airlines (well in advance) - or see if you can find an animal transport company to advise you about the best airlines and airports. (Your local vet may be able to point you toward an animal transport company.)

I used a San Francisco based service to fly my two cats to Germany from the US - and they did an outstanding job of caring for both the cats, and their anxious owner.
Cheers,
Bev

The two cats I brought over from the US are long gone now. It was quite some time ago - but they did settle in rather well, first in Germany and then in France.

Now, in addition to the various cats (some ours, some "just visiting") we have a couple of donkeys. Them, I would not want to have to move... so I guess I'll just stay put.
Cheers,
Bev

Cats have staff - dogs have owners.
