Smokey's Trip to Australia

Smokey’s journey from Los Angeles to Australia was one of courage, care, and a little help from friends along the way. This sweet gray cat has always carried a heavy load of anxiety, which in the past had even caused health scares like urinary crystals and spikes in blood sugar. His family knew that moving him across the world would take careful planning—and with Sage’s help, that plan came together beautifully.

From LAX to Melbourne and finally to Sydney, every step of Smokey’s travel was handled with the utmost care. The team worked closely to make sure his needs were met, and to everyone’s relief, he made it through quarantine with flying colors. His owner was overjoyed to reunite with him safe and sound.

True to his nature, Smokey is settling in slowly but surely. The quiet corners of his new home in Sydney are giving him comfort, and each day he grows more relaxed. His new favorite pastime? Sitting by the window, wide-eyed, watching the busy Australian traffic roll by—a stark contrast to his old neighborhood, where he mostly saw elderly neighbors walking their dogs.

Smokey’s bucket list in his new home is simple but meaningful: enjoy the sights and sounds of a bustling city while staying close to the family that loves him so much. For this anxious but deeply cherished cat, Australia already feels like a place of fresh beginnings.
