Unfortunate story in that Kash has lived with and been raised by my nephew in Brooklyn who moved 3 mos.. ago with his wife and 3 year old son, to Barcelona, Spain. They have returned for 2 weeks, partly to facilitate taking Kash back to Spain. The rules are Vet bill of health, PLUS a State of NY certificate of health that is only good for 5 days on either side of the travel day, PLUS paying the airline somewhat north of $1000 to get the cat into the plane cargo hold. The NY State certificate has proven hard to get, as well their living situation in Barcelona is questionable (apartments are scarce), plus the airline fees are a burden. Thus we offered to adopt Kash, who has boarded with us on 2 occasion in her youth and whom we very much like. She arrives any moment now, we have clipped the nails of the 2 existing ragmuffins and I have added a 4th litter box. Hopefully all goes well.
