Help me ship my 3 cats to WA!
Donation protected
Hey! You know me as a blogger on both Tumblr and Wordpress. The best way to sum up my situation is that I've moved out in order to escape an abusive mother-daughter relationship. My mother is a narcissist and has always been emotionally abusive. I had lived away for over 3 years and then had to move back in 2 years ago. Since then, she has taken it upon herself to extort me for rent money. At the same time, I have little to no privacy.
I am asking for your help since she has threatened the lives of my cats more than once. She has since then claimed she did so out of anger and attempted to trivialize it, but I take even supposedly empty threats seriously. With an abuser, you can never tell what they will do next.
As of over a month ago, I have relocated to Washington State, where I have friends. I've already found a job as a part-time cashier and am tentatively holding onto my writing gig on the side. My cats are allowed, but it is not cheap to transport them to another state. I’m both unwilling and unable to get my cats rehomed, so the cats are going to need a certificate from the vet within 10 days of travel saying that they’re healthy.
One option is to do the plane transport from the Atlanta airport and pick them up at Seattle. Plus the quote is only for 2 cats. See below.
There’s also the option of visiting GA and coming back with them by plane, but there are limits and it will be some weeks yet before I visit GA again (mostly to get some things).
Finally, there’s a pet transport service. From all the quotes from pet transport services, the lowest estimate for all 3 cats with We Move Pets is about $2,000. See below.
UPDATE 1/26:
I have found another option, which is to use Delta Cargo. The cost of shipping my 3 cats on a non-stop flight would be close to a grand, including kennels.
Besides that, there is also the money I need to continue paying my mom for taking care of the cats in the meantime, until I can get them shipped over. I've changed the goal accordingly.
