1,500 miles... several times... lol

Hi

Mine were about 450 miles away but they were both flown over.

I thought better the 1 hr flight than 7 -8 hrs in a car

Our breeder is local, only 15 minutes' drive across the city, very lucky there.

I travelled from Gravesend, Kent to Bodmin, Cornwall - approximately 540 miles. Although I can't claim any sort of record as I have a friend in Scotland who has been to the same breeder to collect 5 cats (at three different times) - a journey of over 1,000 miles each time

I'm a bit like Howlinbob - my breeder's pretty local and I can get to her in 45 minutes unless traffic is bad. I would have travelled further had I not struck it lucky with my breeder though!

In the same lucky position as karen Freyja & wicca!! My Breeder only 45 mins away, but would of also travelled futher if needs been!!

2:20 round trip. Not too far

I got my M.C. at an adoption agency about 60 miles away, poor baby was in a house with a horder, I'm glad I got him before anyone else, He is my happiness I love him

We drove 3 1/2 hours each way, from Oregon City, Oregon to Yakima, Washington.
Long way it seemed and waited for years to get our 2 male littermate Maine Coon kittens.

We liked the breeder, researched quite a few and waited years until she had a red available.

Now for our Newfie puppy we had to get him all the way from Belgium Europe to the west coast of America! Orka's breeder flew him over and lived with us for 2 weeks, training us how to train him, and we showing her the sights.

When I started out I thought it would be easy and we'd get our furries from breeders in Portland. No such luck! It was all worth it because we are extremely happy with our 3 wonderful furkids.

My first cat came to me through the 3000 km
