1 Answer

Answer :

When a cat adopts a human, it’s extremely hard to say no, particularly so if you have a soft and caring side open to life’s little rejects. As to traveling across borders with a pet, I’m clueless. But my heart is certianly with you in not turning her over to near certain euthanasia. Good luck and Godspeed in your move.
