The freight industry is not only about bottom line profits, as was revealed recently when several stakeholders rallied to the assistance of two homeless cats.
The cats were given to the Helderberg Animal Welfare by their owners who could no longer take care of them - and the welfare organisation had to rely on the largesse of the freight industry to move them by air from Cape Town to their new owners in Windhoek.
Independent consolidator CFR Freight stepped in and carried the cost of the shipment while ATC Aviation managed to negotiate a drastically reduced rate from Air Namibia for the transport of the animals.
Tradewind Shipping meanwhile assisted with all paperwork and customs documentation.
