| Re: Importing a Cat to Switzerland
We also brought our cats over with us and couldn't have imagined leaving them behind. We were a lot more restricted coming from the UK, as only certain airlines carry live animals, so make sure you check that out.
We also opted to arrange the travel of our cats through our cattery (who regularly export/import animals) as we were going into temporary accommodation and didn't want to displace the cats again so quickly, and since it was serviced, didn't want to take the chance of them escaping/being scared by strangers. We had them fly over a week later when we moved into our apartment. It was great, because we were settled, our furniture had arrived, and all the cats familiar things were there, which helped them settle in. Getting through all the paperwork and stuff took time, but wasn't a problem for us, since we had set aside the whole day for collecting the cats, and we weren't doing it right after we were exhausted from moving either.
Good luck with your move!
