Poppins, Mr. Banks and Shayne

“I couldn’t imagine my life without Poppins and Mr. Banks.”

Here’s a story of two Domestic Shorthair kitties, Poppins and Mr. Banks, who are like chalk and cheese. Petraveller recently relocated Poppins and Mr. Banks from Perth to Auckland. Read to know more about the two felines and their pet relocation experience.

Poppins has been a part of Shayne’s life since December 2012 when she was adopted from a pet city in Morley, WA. Shayne shares, “We have been through a lot together, and she has been my rock. We have moved a couple of times, but she’s always adjusted well. She is my baby girl!”

Mr. Banks came into Shayne’s life through a Facebook post. He recalls, “Someone wanted to give away Mr. Banks. I felt sorry for him and knew I could offer him a good life. He settled in very easily but took a while for Poppins to adjust to having someone new around. He is super friendly and loves meeting my friends. I couldn’t imagine life without these two.”

Talking about Poppins, Shayne says, “Poppins is what I would call an independent woman, she has attitude and loves you on her own terms. She loves to curl up next to me. She doesn’t like a lot of attention and will let you know this. She shows no interest in my family and friends, etc.”

On the other hand, Mr. Banks is the complete opposite of Poppins. He’s friendly and needy, and he loves to play. Shayne fondly says, “He likes to interact with my family and friends most of the time. He especially loves to lick my nose and sleep under the blankets curled up next to me.” He laughs and adds, “Sometimes I catch him and Poppins cuddled together, but Poppins runs away pretending she wasn’t doing that.”

Shayne was moving to Auckland, New Zealand and decided to take help from an international pet relocation company to handle the pet travel because he knew relocating pets can be a long and tedious process. He started his online search and reached out to four pet transport companies before choosing Petraveller. He says, “Petraveller’s response and customer service has been awesome.”

Poppins and Mr. Banks had an incredible journey from Perth to Auckland and are now well-settled in their new home. Thank you, Shayne, for giving us the opportunity to relocate your precious pets. We wish you happiness and lots of kisses to Poppins and Mr. Banks.
