Kind of an off the wall question but...

Basically, I’m due to PCS from OCONUS to CONUS very soon (within the next 3 weeks). I talked to SATO today to try and get a head start on anything, mentioned my wife’s cat is coming with, and was informed that there isn’t any room for a cat until July. Was told I would need to ship the cat myself (€600). Is this reimbursable?

Just wanted to give everyone closure, or info, in case there’s someone else out there who comes here first looking for answers to this same question. Basically I had to opt out of the Centrally Billed flight and pay for my own flight. I’ll get partial reimbursement for my flight because I booked through SATO. Had I just booked on my own I wouldn’t have received any reimbursement. The total coming out of pocket was less going this route then it would have if I had to ship the little fur baby separately.

Thank you to everyone who helped and sent advice in regards to this question!

Looked into it some more, found the information stating pet shipping is not reimbursable.

Also, for clarification, I don’t have my orders yet due to multiple paperwork mishaps and unwise advice, otherwise this wouldn’t have been a problem.
