The Jamison family received a new job offer that required them to relocate to Melbourne, known for its laneways and cultural scene. The two cats, Ziggy, a Bengal and Lyra, a Persian, were the main concern for the family as they were worried about the registration in Victoria and new tenancy laws.
HappyLocate, domestic pet relocation services in Melbourne, provided a lifeline to help the Jamison family with navigating pet rules as we specialize in pet relocation Australia. Our team is an expert at navigating specific country rules such as updating Ziggy and Lyra's microchip details with the new local council, City of Melbourne and ensuring their desexing certificates were up-to-date to qualify for registration discounts.
HappyLocate managed the drafting a pet application for their landlord based on new tenancy laws in the state. We took care of arranging for Qantas Freight transport of Ziggy and Lyra to their crates ensuring they were IATA-compliant or advising on an alternative ferry service via Spirit of Tasmania if moving from the island state.
As a trusted cat relocation service, HappyLocate guided the Jamisons about pet-friendly parks and local veterinary services to assist in acclimating their cat to their new life. We offer a dedicated dog relocation service as well. Whether it is a local appointment or an international destination, our reliable pet taxi service ensures a stress-free experience!
