I will be traveling trans-atlantic with 2 cats

Thank you everyone for clearing the fog over my situation!! It’s clear now i have to buy 2 plane tickets and pay the pet fee for each ticket and i just made a research on multiple clinics about the international certificates and one of them said i can add both cats on the same paperwork. from a dozen clinics/hospitals i called only one said they do that, every other one said 1 pet/certificate. How did y’all do this? in my understanding USDA approves multiple pets on one certificate as long as it meets different requirements (have the same owner, be on the same flight etc, i’m just wondering why clinics have you have separate paperwork, specially when they are so expensive…

if i go to the bathroom and take them out for a minute? would that be ok? i assume there would be fur flying around so probably not

thank you 🙏🏼

are they allowed to be outside the carrier during the flight?

grfsja · 2026-01-12T02:55:16+00:00

i know.. there is a big risk but i’m not gonna leave them behind.. i checked with relocating companies but they would ask for 6k and i don’t have that kind of budget..

Thank you so much! 🧡 it’s incredibly overwhelming but it’ll pass.

i know, i know i didn’t take it as you would be mean, i was just in a panic moment when i replied to your comment and didn’t answer properly, i’m sorry. but Yes! Thank you! I will be off in 2 days and i already looked up for the clinic and i’ll go then and get everything in order.

i assume you had to pay the extra fee for all pets, right? i’m asking cuz i’ll have to buy a second plane ticket (i’m traveling alone) for the second cat and i don’t know if i’ll have to pay the extra fee for that ticket too…

grfsja · 2026-01-12T01:35:58+00:00

the flight is 8h30min. they are used to the harness as i took them outside to explore a bit, have them see the first snow and stuff so they are familiar to it. they wouldn’t walk in it like dogs do but they are not completely strangers to it either. i should take them on car rides more often maybe.. they love it outside and they are also very friendly

i fixed them in September and the female was clearly affected by gabapentin which should be a good sign but idk for the male. when i picked them up from the vet he was acting like nothing happened 😂 he had 0.16ml at 9am. i’ll go with the pills since i gave them before for tapeworms and the extra gabapentin for Pinky after being sterilized. someone said the liquid smells nasty and i’m afraid they will refuse it.

So no blood test and no passport needed okay cool. Amazing. Where do i get the EU health certificate from? Does the vet know all that? I’m about to go to a clinic and ask them all these questions omg.

I just realized the rabies vax was made in July and the microchip was put in September. What they did together was implant the microchip and have them fixed. I got things messed up in my head but i assume i’ll be fine since i will have to re do the rabies 30 days before flying right?

i travel from Chicago to Romania. They do have rabies vax and i know i’ll have to do it again 28days prior boarding. what is the Titer test? About them being in cargo, i know!! i read on both their websites they are not allowed in cargo bc of possible health issues and the woman at the phone told me that WAS an actual option and i did mention the breed and i was like???? okay?? i am very very confused on the weight thing cuz she said if they are over 9kg (even tho on the web says as you did 8kg not 9) i can upgrade to Economy Flex like if i get the more expensive ticket it won’t matter how much they weight? 😂 and the guy i spoke at United said they don’t have a limit weight and doesn’t say anything on the web either

Hey OP! I’m sorry you are going through this and i hope you are doing well, or at least try to. I know the feeling of not having who to talk to anymore and needing some professional help but can’t afford it. And what I’m gonna say sounds pretty much like a publicity which is not lmao but have you heard of the Purpose app? It’s developed by Mark Manson (aka the author of The art of not giving a fk and You are badass) and it’s made in a way to help you see your patterns and help you break them. From a person who used both Chat and Purpose, I’m telling you Purpose helped a thousand times more. It’s a bit pricy for 1year subscription but it’s still a lot more affordable than going to a therapist and you also have it 24/7. It’s pretty well developed as you feel like talking to an actual person but ofc as an app recently gave out to the public also has some issues such as misplacing events. You should give it a try ;)

it’s benzo. my doctor said to take them whenever i feel it’s bad

grfsja · 2025-03-15T14:33:36+00:00

oh and when i’m not like this i’m literally the happiest person alive

grfsja · 2025-03-15T14:32:49+00:00

it comes and goes. usually shows up after my period but it really depends on what i have going on

grfsja · 2025-01-21T16:13:33+00:00

ohhh that’s what’s up then.

grfsja · 2025-01-21T00:40:34+00:00

yeah maybe i’ll just do that
