Cats have long been regarded as part of the family. When you are faced with the need to move remotely, how can you bear to abandon it? Then take it with you! Which method is better to move with a cat, by plane, train, or by car? Which is faster or more reliable? Although airplanes have shorter transportation time and are safer and more efficient, they may also encounter many problems. So what is the specific process of train consignment?

Inquiry and booking

If you have decided to move your cat by consignment by train, you must first consult with the train transportation department to determine whether the train you want to book has a luggage compartment and whether the cat can be consigned. Cats cannot be transported on trains without cargo compartments, such as high-speed trains or high-speed trains. After inquiring about the train number, book the ticket. If possible, it is best to make a reservation in advance.

Prepare items

Just like flying, taking a cat on a train also requires a safe space. However, a train does not necessarily require a flight box. An iron cage with a pull-out feces tray will suffice. Buy it in advance and buy some wire to reinforce the opening. In addition, prepare food, water, and warm items for the cat.

Apply for immunity certificate

Just like air consignment, train consignment also requires cats to obtain immunity certificates. Note that you must go to a hospital or quarantine station recognized by the railway department to apply for the "Animal Immunization Certificate" and "Conveyance Disinfection Certificate". Immunization must be documented with at least rabies vaccine. And take it to the corresponding agency to apply for the "Exit County Quarantine Certificate".

Same day shipping

Arrive at the train consignment office at least 2 hours before driving to go through the consignment procedures. In addition to the above certificates, you also need your ID card and ticket. Give these to the relevant personnel, and they will take you through the relevant procedures step by step. You can apply for a transport escort certificate here. With this, you can go to the truck compartment to look after the cat in the car. Finally, put the cat in the truck bed before driving.

Consignment price

As long as the consignment is not across provinces, the consignment price of cats is generally within 100.

Train time

Then you can get on the bus with peace of mind and find your seat to start the journey. On the way, with your escort certificate, you can go to the truck compartment to look after the cat, feed it, water it and check whether it is safe. This is something that cannot be accomplished by air transportation, and is also the biggest advantage of train shipping.

Take the cat away

After arriving at the destination, rely on theYou can pick up your cat at the corresponding location after placing the manifest. It should be noted that due to the slow unloading time, the live transport carriage may be moved last and it will take some time. Don't be anxious and wait patiently.

Shipping agency

For the above required documents, you can find a pet shipping agency to handle them on your behalf. The general fee is about 100-200. The consignment agent can also send the pet for consignment on your behalf 3 hours before the train starts. You only need to provide the pet's information and the contact information of the recipient, and the consignment agent can apply for the required documents for you. After the train arrives at the station, go to the pick-up point and take the cat away.

Parents, when transporting a cat by railway, remember to check on it every half an hour, feed it some water, and soothe the cat's restless mood, because it needs you very much.
