What this route usually involves
A UK-origin cat journey to Ireland usually starts with an Animal Health Certificate or export paperwork check, then a transport decision: Irish Sea ferry. The right choice depends on your departure city, your cat's temperament, available pet spaces and how much lead time you have.
