TO SHIP
I am also hoping to ship some equipment out to the shelter before I go as I am
obviously limited on what I can take on the plane! To make this worthwhile I
need to gather as much as possible and so can be anything from above lists
plus some larger/heavier items listed below.

VERY USEFUL - Drip stands
Blankets
Towels
Standard tool kit (Drill, Screwdrivers etc)
VERY USEFUL - Veterinary/Animal Welfare/Animal husbandry books

THIS WISH LIST IS BY NO MEANS EXHAUSTIVE!!!
I have contacted the BVA Overseas working group and they have confirmed
that it is perfectly legal to take supplies/equipment/medicines in hold luggage.
TOLFA will provide me with a letter to confirm that I am bringing the supplies
for use at the shelter.
