Two new kittens are officially living in Canada! First we were required to go to Air Canada Cargo to receive the kittens' documents - vet records, customs records, health passports. Second, we had to drive ten minutes to the customs office, where I explained to them that we were "importing cats". Customers applied a $36 inspection fee and charged us GST on the cats and carrier they came in (we had a particularly particular customs agent.). Lastly, we drove back ten minutes to Air Canada Cargo and paid a handling fee - $60. Our cats came out in their carrier and we're driving home!
I feel terrible for the kittens. Both have been eating wet food and treats I brought. The litterbox is wishful thinking at this point. The kitties and too tired and scared to leave their carrier. I cannot wait to have them rest and adjust at home.
