Long distance travel
Posted: Mon Jun 07, 2021 2:51 pm
Hi,
We live in the Shetland Islands, way up in the North Sea. We have been caring for a group of under-socialised cats for about 1 year now, and have found a shelter in Edinburgh willing to take them for rehoming. We have tried to rehome them here, but have been repeatedly unsuccessful, and our landlord wants them gone from the shed (where they have based themselves).
To get from Shetland to Edinburgh, they will have to undertake a 12+ hour ferry journey, and a 2 1/2 hour drive on the other end. There are 5 cats, all get along well with each other.
We have no baskets/crates etc for their journey. I was wondering if anybody new of decent, roomy transport ideas, that aren't going to work out too expensive. If we have to travel down with them, we're looking at well over £300 just on initial travel costs, so are needing to keep things low in other places.
It's that or we set up a GoFundMe for cat travel!!
Thanks in advance
