Portugal: Acommodation in Portugal:

I was seriously considering moving to the Lisbon - Cascais area. Before going on a reckee I read through lots of these informative postings. As a result I read several recommendations about Nicola Duarte, who does lettings for up to a year. I met with her and she was great. She is very knowledgable and helpful. Nicola can be contacted at: nicola@portugalportfolio.com.

United Kingdom: Moving Pets to UK:

I brought 2 cats with me from Canada to the UK and it went well. Air Canada were most unhelpful so I contacted James Cargo Service (which have a Livestock service) in the UK directly to speak with them. They take the animals off the plane and into the Animal Control Centre at Heathrow. They were superb and checked my paperwork (faxed over) before I arrived. The staff at Animal Control couldn't have been kinder. Unfortunately my vet in Canada had used the wrong tick treatment for the UK (Revolution is the product there and it needed to be Frontline for the UK), so they were kept in quarantine for a day. James Livestock transported the cats (at my expense to me elsewhere in the UK the following day). So I never ended up using an agent and it worked out fine. Bring some of your pet's usual litter and food to help them adjust to everything else being new - as even drinking water will taste different for them. I hope that helps. Good luck Deborah
