He is lovely, worth the wait. Fancy having to do all that travelling - do they do well travelling all that way? He does look a big kitten especially compared to the other one that is only 3 days younger. Hope you get posted lots of pictures while you are waiting

Hi Louise,

I had thought of getting from UK as there is no age restriction (so long as the kitten is above 12 weeks old) or quarantine requirement but I love my Merlin so much that I am willing to wait that long for my new boy.

I will definitely share new photos as and when the breeder sends them to me. I just wish it is November right now!!!!

Merlin did a fair bit of traveling by car from Gliwice to Warsaw (around 3 hours). Then Warsaw by plane to Frankfurt (around 2 hours flight), then Frankfurt direct to Singapore (12 hours). He was 16 weeks old when he arrived in Singapore.

He was ok when I picked him up from the airport cargo section and handed him over to AVA at cargo area. He spent the night there and was transferred to the quarantine station the following morning when 30 day count down begins. I visited him every single day and watched him grow while in quarantine.

Cheers!

Wow, that's what you call dedication

I'd hate to be importing into australia as well.... quarantine restrictions really are strong.

Just received some new photos of Dyman at 10 weeks and 3 days old. He was sleeping when the photos were taken yesterday.

Considering his age, he is quite big... weighing at 2 kg. That news made my morning!

He is gorgeous... reminds me very much of Gryfn as I think he was about that weight too at that age...

Your Gryfn is gorgeous too!

I don't know how I ended up with 2 brown tabby and 1 red tabby since I have always wanted a Silver tabby, Black Smoke, Solid Blue and Blue Smoke and Blue tabby.

Maybe... just maybe... if I can afford it and the timing is right, I can get a fourth.
