Any updates on Ally Cat's travel plans?

[jenluckenbach]

I got an email from Julie. Poor girl, doesn't know if she is coming or going. How sad.

She asks for an opinion:

It looks like they will end up at the house in Bahrain that is stille theirs for a few months yet, just until a new job can be secured for hubby. They need to be out of the place in Lagos by April 30th.

The problem is, WHERE will they end up living? Will Ally (and Connor) be able to come with them? Will it be cat-friendly? And if it is Australia or New Zealand then the 6 month "rabies" quarrentine would be required.

She asks, should I send Ally off to Jennie, then when the family is settled both cats can ship off together to be reunited with their family? This would work better IF they need quarentine, as that can be accomplished here (like when Sweet Annie went to England). If she kept Ally with her, and they moved to NZ, Ally would have to spend the quarrentine alone in a cattery.

And all this worry on top of WHERE to live? Where will the next pay check come from? Where will he son be able to finish his last year in school?

Please send many thoughts and prayers to Julie's family. They are going to need it.

I would think in his field finding a job should not be a problem.
My thoughts/advise on Ally is send her to Jenn. #1 we know she will be safe
#2 She can stay there for as long as needed. #3 If they have to move around allot they wont have to worry about animals.
It appears that things are very much in termoil with them and not knowing what the immediate or extended future is going to be at least they would have peace of mind that Ally and Conner were taken care of for as long as necessary here in the states.
The best thing is funds are there to send Ally to the states.

Thats my 2 cents

I agree 100% with Craftlady.

I agree also, send Ally to Jenn and then that is one less thing to worry about.

I really have to agree that sending Ally to Jenn would be the best solution for Ally right now.

Julie has her husband and daughter to worry about as well as her son. It sounds as though the whole house will be in a turmoil anyway with all of the pressures that they have.

At least Ally could settle down - get good care and feel secure. It certainly would take another problem off of Julie's already very full plate.

My heart does go out to them - what a turn of events!!!

Yup, let's get Ally settled. Poor thing has been almost alone in the house for several months now.

I agree COMPLETELY with Craftlady and those following.. Let Ally come to Jenn where she will be safe and in a stable environment and well looked after, until the day finally that Julie and her family have a secure, permanent home, whenever that may be, which could be quite a while (if ever), from the way things sound so far.

That's my vote, for what it's worth!
