How to Ship 8 Cats to PR

1POSTS

8 years ago

Aside of making multiple flights with each cat in a single carrier, does anyone know of an airline or service that allows shipment of a larger number of cats at once? I'm thinking 3 large checked carriers so they have some room. But is that even an option? Or is there a service out there for this that I can't find?

We'd want to do it a way that is affordable, yet still comfortable for the cats. My Grandma is a bit of a crazy cat lady and I'm trying to convince her to retire and move down with us. She won't go without these cats!

Not sure but I would call United and Jet blue. They should be able to accept a crate or two with the animals. They will need recent vacinations and vet health certificate of less rhan 30 days.

Hi I seen your comment wanted to ask you what did American airlines required when you flew with your cats ? I'm also moving to PR in 30 days and have 3 cats I recently saved from an abusive home . They are doing amazing. Taking then to the vet next week I am sure they don't have any vaccines. But I will have them done when I go to the vet next week聽 how did your cat fly
