(Note: pet escorts can use most airlines, especially KLM, Lufthansa, Delta, NW, Air France, Egypt Air etc. However, EMRO cannot take advantage of would-be escorts going via Air Canada or British Air or any flights passing through London England since these cats will not be allowed to travel as excess baggage but have to go via the much more expensive manifest cargo. We rely on being able to send cats with people travelling, as part of their "excess luggage" in order to keep the cost of adoptions low and to be able to get cats out of Egypt to overseas adopters and to their new forever homes.)
If you or someone you know is travelling from Cairo soon, please have them contact EMRO. There are no extra expenses to the escort for this service (from the cat travelling), and they can be proud they made a big difference to a homeless Egyptian cat, helping give it the opportunity to go to a new home overseas!
We will list the name of the escort on our website in appreciation for their help, and also list any website business they might have as free advertising for them, in thanks.
We have cats awaiting a volunteer pet escort to accompany them to their new homes. To be sent unaccompanied is very expensive and a barrier to their adoption. Please consider helping a cat get to its new home today!! Thank you.
EMRO does all the paperwork, prepares the cat and cage, gets the escort in touch with the adopter, helps make the cat's travel arrangements, and secures the funds for the cat's travel from the adopter before travel. We deliver the cat(s) to the airport, and even pick up the pet escort if required, and get them all to their flight! We track the progress of the cat for pick up and follow up afterwards. All the pet escort has to do is give us some notice of their flight (a week or more is very much preferred--as soon as you know your flight, contact us! But we have done it with 3 days notice if we absolutely have to, although the cats might not get on the flight without more notice) and check the cat in under their name, and pick the cat up from customs on the other end of the flight, to pass over to the anxiously waiting adopter. The cat can travel in cabin or cargo
Due to a number of adopted cats awaiting their ride to their new home overseas, EMRO will offer an honorarium of $50 to any pet escort travelling to the US who escorts 1-2 cats. This is the same for Europe where the honorarium is 30 euros. This will be paid for by the adopter. This is an additional thanks for those making the effort to help a cat or two get to a new home in America. If you decide you prefer to make pet escorting a full volunteer gesture, you may return the tip to the adopter, or return it to EMRO as a donation for other cats.
