Jamie, an adorable Domestic Shorthair cat and his mum Jenni recently travelled from Gold Coast, Australia to Johannesburg, South Africa. Here's their relocation story.
Jamie rescued two cats from a drain in South Africa, approximately 13 years ago. She fell in love with both brothers, Jamie and Bo and welcomed them in her home. They were together all these years, but things changed for Jenni when she moved to Western Australia. “Jamie's brother Bo, unfortunately, went missing after our move to Western Australia two years ago,” sighs Jenni.
Bo's disappearance brought about a sudden change in Jamie's behaviour. Jenni says, “Ever since his brother's disappearance, Jamie has become a lot more affectionate.”
Jamie is an independent cat, adorably finicky and will approach people only on his terms. “Jamie is usually shy but brave at the same time,” says Jenni. “He also prefers quieter environments and makes himself scarce when new people are around.”
Jamie is a well-travelled cat. He and Jenni relocated from South Africa to Western Australia and then to Queensland. After all these years, Jamie has now become a part of the family. When the Joubert family was moving back to Johannesburg, there were no second thoughts about Jamie. “We never considered leaving our pets behind,” asserts Jenni.
Jenni chose Petraveller to assist with her with the international pet relocation to Johannesburg as she found the pricing cost-effective compared to other pet agencies offering the same service. She says, “We liked the information outlined in the proposals and the swift response received from all personnel at Petraveller.”
