I hope you don't see this as "bringing this down", because that's not what I intend on doing..but I really have to ask...

You say she's a very scared and shy cat -- wouldn't a plane ride to people she's never met before almost traumatize her?

I think it would probably be much better, for Annie atleast, if she were to find a home closer, with maybe a family that she can be introduced to and warmed up to.


Whatever you do, I hope Annie end up happy wherever she is!
