Please help! IATA Cat Crate for cargo hold

[EdinGirl]

Hi there!

Me and my husband are moving to Thailand with our 3 cats who will be in the cargo hold.

I am going crazy trying to find crates that actually fit the IATA requirements!

Even the one everyone loves (Petmate Vari) has plastic nuts which aren't compliant 😭😭😭

I must have searched for a million hours (only small exaggeration).

Does anyone have any recommendations?

My boys are 4kg, 4kg and 8kg.

Have you spoken to your eye shipping agent most people have them source the crate for them.

Damn spell check pet shipping agent.

These are compliant.

You can get replacement nuts

Thank you, but we are doing it ourselves.

They quoted over 4k and it will be £1500 to do ourselves :)

Thank you so much!!!

I will see if I can find those nuts in the UK but if not will order from that site.

I did see these crates but didn't realise replacement nuts were an option.
