Moving cats to Nairobi (and back)

benway

So, there's a possibility that the OH and I might be going to live in Nairobi for around 18 months to 2 years from some time in 2015.

Problem being that we have two one year old house cats and no obvious foster home for them. Obviously, we're very attached to them and would rather have them with us, but my initial reaction was that we'd have to (very reluctantly) put them up for adoption.

However, we're now thinking that we'll bring them with us, I wonder does anyone have any experience of bringing pets long distances (particularly to the developing world) and back?

Seems to be a relatively straightforward process on the way out, on the way back not so much.

It's always the return that would be an issue as you're coming from a non EU country (also be careful with any stop over before arriving in Ireland!). Only flown with cats in EU so far but in general I'd try to find a professional company to do the import/export for you and/or fly with them as cabin luggage (only a few airlines would allow something like that).

Hope it's ok to post that.
I was following a van from http://www.airsea.ie on my commute this morning.

I checked it and they surely will be able to at least give you more information: http://www.airsea.ie/pet-moves/
