I have a huge problem....
I am getting married. My fiance has 3 cats. She lives in Texas USA, I live in QLD Australia. She is immigrating to here... but we want to bring her cats over too. I have 5 cats myself and can accommodate the extra 3 - that's no problem... the problem is the time and cost involved.
It's going to cost over $600 PLUS air shipping fees just to get them into the country, and then over $240/week to keep them in quarantine... which they may have to stay in for several months.
This is really stressing out the both of use. Neither of use is going to be able to afford this. There is a chance we might be able to afford it if we migrate 1 cat at a time.. but we really want to be together as soon as possible, and if she is here with me, who will look after the cats left behind?
We don't know what to do.
Any suggestions other than giving the cats away to a shelter?
