We are moving to Turkey with our two cats. I am just wondering if anyone has relocated with cats to Turkey or elsewhere and whether you have used a pet relocation company or taken them as excess baggage? We are unsure what to do. I know it is controversial moving to Turkey and moving with cats but we are happy to be going to the part of Turkey we are going to and feel that taking the cats is our best option. They are around 6 years old. Believed to be siblings in good health and the vet has told us cats generally travel well. There is no one local to us we could leave them with and our home in Turkey is extremely cat friendly. (big house, v little traffic etc). İt will cost around £3000 to use a relocation company and a few hundred as excess baggage. Our concerns with the excess baggage are firstly that they could be denied access to the flight or that they may be more comfortable in the livestock hold. Obviously there is a big price difference however and it seems the baggage option may be quicker upon arrival. Thanks for any advice!
