Looks like the 6 month moratorium on pets will end early. We’ll be foster parents to a cat starting July 14. The cat and her family live in Kyrgyzstan but will shortly be moving to England. England still has some quarantine regulations in place: since Cadbury will not be coming directly from an approved country (like the US), she has to spend 6 months in quarantine at great expense. For a 2 year old, that’s a big chunk of time. Rather than have her go through that, she’ll come here.
I have never met a person from Kyrgyzstan, let along a domestic companion, so this will be a first. I expect there won’t be any language barrier as long as I can keep in a good stock of salmon and tuna.
I don’t envy her the travel though: that’s a long way.
