pet transport FROM India
Does anyone know of animal-transport companies who transport pets (specifically cats) from India to USA? I need to move 5 cats from Shillong, Meghalaya, India (roughly near Calcutta) to Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, USA in August/September.
Also, has anyone any idea about the costs for same? many thanks, B. [grendel@heorot.dk] |

Haven't read thru these sites thoroughly, but they look as if they might be useful:

Many thanks. I have contacted airanimal.com - have you (or anyone else here) used them before?

Nope, just did a google search. I only briefly scanned their site, but the one thing that stood out is that they have a no-sedative policy. That might or might not make you happy - people have different feelings on the sedation-during-travel protocol.
One thing that comes immediately to memory re feline sedatives is that ACP (acepromazine), a popular one for cats, can in some cases have the opposite effect and make the cat more excitable. If you have a trusted vet back in the States, perhaps speak to them about the options before going with a particular company. There is also a product called Feliway, which is a sythesised version of a feline pheromone, which can relax cats in situations such as travel - you might like to google that. |

If you intend to travel with the cats your airline company should be able to tell you all about it. Or even if you don't I guess.
