So as probably all of you know! Tigger has been in my life for almost 2 years now. The day i found her i always intended on bringing her home with me, no questions! I honestly didnt know i could love a cat as much as i love her. We have been through so much, butcher vets, illness, infections, moving house, sneaking her into my apartment in Bangkok etc. And those many times where i have felt so low here in Thailand ive felt her wet nose kissing and snuggling up to me! So now as the months draw closer for my time to leave, ive started trying to prepareTigger to come home with me. Once i found out the costs to bring her home......i was inconsolable ive cried and cried trying to come up with ways to get her home but unfortunately this is my only way. The UK (Ireland) and Sweden are the only countries with crazy procedures when it comes to importing animals. I feel embarrassed doing this but the alternative honestly breaks my heart. So im asking for help! Ive pretty much stopped training muaythai altogether now to try and get money together! And living on as low a budget as i can. I just want to make it clear that none of this money is for me at all! The amount ive asked is not even the full amount! Im still waiting for the Thai cargo company to give me a quote (which i know will not be cheap)
Below is the list of charges to get Tigger home that ive quoted in Thai Bht and Euro:
UPDATED!
Blood tests to be sent to UK - B13,000 / €325
Estimated charge adding her to my flight(according to airline website) B5000 /€125
Handling and paperwork in Bangkok and Heathrow airports (vet check etc)
B40,000 /  €1,000
TOTAL SO FAR = B57,300 / €1,432.

*Today i paid for the bloodtests but ive included it until i get the quote from the Thai cargo company and ill amend the amount*

I imagine it could be at least a further B10,000 for the Thai side of cargo as they do the same thing as UK and i have to purchase an export permit.

Anyway im no way even expecting much just a few people mentioned i should do this and whatever i get will help me so much getting my best buddy home!

Asking this of my friends and family is difficult and awkward for me so as gratitute for the help i receive once i am home working full time i will make a substantial donation to an animal charity in Thailand (at minimum half the amount ive asked for €500) it will just make me feel better giving back what i can.

So if you are an animal lover and have a pet yourself and can imagine yourself in my horrible position and would like to help i will be forever grateful from the bottom of my heart!

Love Kelly (and Tiggs) x
