Cat relocation to the United States from Southeast Asia

We plan cat relocation to the US from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore or Vietnam. Cabin escort is available subject to your cat’s eligibility and airline approval for every flight.

Documents and flight options

Planning starts with the departure country and US destination city. We review export documents, destination entry requirements and airline conditions for your cat’s itinerary.

Cabin travel needs a check for every flight, including connections. Your cat’s age, breed and weight, along with carrier dimensions, help us assess the available options.

How we run it

01

Assessment before anything is booked

We check your cat's age, condition and size against airline and destination-state conditions, then settle cabin or manifested cargo. That single decision shapes the rest of the timeline.

02

Export documents and vet work

We schedule vet appointments and document preparation around route requirements and document validity.

03

Flight and connection options

We compare connection times, pet acceptance and handling at each airport before recommending a route.

04

Escorted through to arrival

For cabin escort bookings, your escort stays with the cat from check-in to the agreed handover. You receive an update after each stage.

The in-cabin escort itself is covered in full on the VIP escort by airplane page.

Routes people ask about

Questions we get

What do you check before planning my cat’s move?
We review the departure country, US destination, travel date, and your cat’s age, breed and size. We then check the documents and airline arrangements for that route.
Can my cat travel in the cabin the whole way?
This depends on approval for every flight, your cat’s size and weight, carrier dimensions and available pet spaces. If cabin travel is unavailable on part of the route, we explain the limitation and review alternatives before booking.
What does the VIP escort do?
On an approved cabin route, a dedicated escort flies with your cat. The service includes assistance at check-in, during transit and at the agreed handover, with photo and message updates after each stage.
How far ahead should we start?
Contact us as soon as you know the departure city and destination. We’ll review document preparation, vet appointments and flight availability before suggesting a schedule. You can enquire before choosing a travel date.
