The Independent Pet and Animal Transportation Association International, Inc. was founded in 1979 to provide professional, competent and caring pet transportation relocation services throughout the world.

An international network of concerned pet shippers, the collective membership of IPATA represents many years of experience in the transportation and care of animals. IPATA's membership has grown from six U.S. pet shippers to over 200 offices in 30 countries with services to all major airports worldwide

--------ReloCat is the only IPATA member in Italy.---------

IPATA members are registered with the applicable organizations within their own country and adhere to the rules and regulations of the Live Animals Regulations of the International Air Transport Association (IATA)

IPATA members services are primarily for those relocating rather than for those taking brief vacations with their pets.

------------------------------IPATA is NOT an airline.---------------------------------

IPATA members use the regularly scheduled air passenger and cargo systems to ship pets for relocatiing families.

IPATA members are not the least expensive alternative, but specialize in providing services that are in the best interest of the family pet.
