From veterinary documentation to flight routing and arrival clearance, our relocation specialists manage the entire process.
Our Services
Moving a pedigree cat internationally is not a single task. It involves veterinary certification, regulatory compliance, airline coordination, and post-arrival clearance. Our services address every stage of pedigree cat relocation from Canada to Austria.
Veterinary Compliance Preparation
Austrian and EU regulations require specific health documentation before entry. Cats must be identified and vaccinated, with official veterinary certification confirming compliance with European Union animal movement regulations.
We coordinate with accredited veterinarians across Canada, including clinics in Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Edmonton, and Montreal, to prepare documentation that meets EU import rules.
Our process includes:
- Rabies vaccination verification
- Microchip identification compliant with EU standards
- Veterinary health certificate preparation
- Coordination with government-approved veterinarians
- Document verification before departure
International Transport Planning
Air transport is the most sensitive phase of pedigree cat relocation. Airlines impose strict rules for animal carriers, cabin restrictions, and cargo procedures.
For small pets travelling in the cabin, carriers must meet airline requirements for ventilation, leak resistance, and space for the animal to stand and lie down comfortably.
Our transport planning includes:
- Airline-approved travel kennel selection
- Route planning between Canada and Austria
- Temperature-controlled transport planning
- Cargo or cabin travel arrangements
- Flight scheduling to reduce travel stress
EU Import Documentation Coordination
Entering Austria from Canada requires documentation aligned with European Union pet travel regulations. Cats must have verified identification, rabies vaccination, and a valid animal health certificate for customs inspection.
We coordinate:
- EU health certificate preparation
- Rabies antibody test documentation
- Veterinary endorsements
- Export documentation from Canada
- Entry documentation required for Austrian customs
Airport Logistics and Departure Handling
International pet transport often fails at the airport stage due to incorrect documentation or airline procedures.
Our departure handling includes:
- Pre-flight document verification
- Airline cargo booking coordination
- Check-in assistance
- Veterinary inspection coordination if required
- Departure clearance management
This stage ensures your pedigree cat boards the correct flight with documentation accepted by airline staff.
Customs Entry Management in Austria
Upon arrival in Austria, pets entering the European Union must undergo customs control procedures.
Border officials review:
- Identification records
- Rabies vaccination validity
- Health certification documents
- Ownership confirmation
These checks commonly occur at entry airports, including Vienna-Schwechat, Salzburg, Linz, Innsbruck, or Graz.
Pedigree Cat Handling Protocols
Pedigree cats require additional attention during international relocation due to breeding value, sensitivity to travel stress, and health monitoring.
Our relocation procedures include:
- Climate-controlled travel preparation
- Breed-specific care planning
- Feeding and hydration schedules
- Veterinary travel fitness assessment
- Safe kennel setup for long flights
Door-to-Airport and Airport-to-Home Transfers
In Canada, we arrange ground transfers from cities such as:
- Toronto
- Vancouver
- Montreal
In Austria, relocation support can include transfers to destinations such as:
- Vienna
- Salzburg
- Graz
This ensures the cat travels safely between home, airport, and final residence.
Post-Arrival Compliance Guidance
After arrival in Austria, pet owners may need to register the animal with a veterinarian and local authorities.
Our guidance includes:
- Veterinary registration in Austria
- Vaccination schedule continuation
- EU pet documentation management
- Travel document storage for future journeys
Proper record keeping is important if the cat travels again within the European Union.

Industry Statistics That Matter
International pet relocation continues to increase as global mobility rises. Millions of pets travel internationally each year, and cats remain among the most frequently transported companion animals on international flights. Airlines and veterinary authorities have introduced strict documentation and health certification procedures to ensure disease control and animal safety during cross-border travel. These regulatory systems require vaccination verification, identification through microchips, and official veterinary certification before international entry.
