Hi everyone,

I am sorry for not responding sooner but I have been out of Internet contact and I just received Jen's email.

Connor came via London, but from what I heard from BA the London people are really good with animals. They even gave him a bigger cage, plenty of water and food. He was doing just fine by the time he got to DC (although he did want out of the cage).

The price is based on weight, so Ally should be much less expensive than Connor (because he was 10 kilos or about 20 lbs when he arrived here).

I pulled out the paperwork from his travels, but I can not tell what the amount is because I don't know what demonination they used for the currency.

I can tell you that there is a $30 charge when you pick her up from the airport.

I don't know if it is easier to get into Philly or DC, but I am more than willing to help with transportation and a pick up from the airport if you decide DC is a better option.

P.S. I have sent my contribution on to Jenn

Hi

Well, I left my envelope sitting on my desk at work for the weekend.

However, I will mail my contribution on Monday. I will be mailing cash as that's really easiest for me. If you feel uncomfortable with that, let me know and I'll try to get a money order or something.

Thanks for doing this. Every cat needs an angel and Ally found one in you.

I'd just make sure it was in a security lined envelope. Just to be careful.

Wrap it in a piece of copy paper. It appears there is just a letter in the envelope, make thicker and less flimsy.

Just a reminder about picking Ally up at the airport. When Julie (or whomever) completes all the paperwork, there is a form on top of the carrier with the name, address and phone number of the person Ally is shipping to. That person MUST be the one at the airport, has to show photo ID to get the animal.

This is how it worked for Sugar in December.

So I worry when I see folks offering "I could go get her at this airport," and "I can get her at that airport." Julie or her husband or her friend HAS to know which airport AND WHICH PERSON is picking her up. And with Julie having satelite problems getting regular internet access, this can't be changed at the last minute as she needs full name, address and phone number.

Update from Julie:
Things are progressing slowly - my friend in bahrain, Ann, who is sorting things out on that side, wrecked her car last week - no-one was hurt but she didn't have transport last week to take Ally for the inspection for the Export Permit - hope to have all the paperwork sorted out this week, and a crate purchased etc.

Hopefully things will start to look up soon. I am so grateful to you and everyone on PT for helping me with Ally - one less thing to worry about (although of course I AM worrying about her too!)
