Thanks dave and Sandra, they really did seem to be very nice at golden arrow. I live in stafford so could drop them off but it all depends on what is going to happen as their crates are going to be shipped and I dont want to book anything untill I have sold the house and exchanged contracts. the shippers only need one weeks notice and i think they will proberly be kennelled there untill I have found a property. My future employer is giving me two weeks paid for accomadation and i want to buy somewhere straight away when I get there as will have difficulty renting with 3 dogs and want to get them settled. Please get in touch and I hope your cat has a good journey. all the best
