Always Away documents a nerve-wracking Chinese New Year vet visit for their rescue cats in Shanghai. They describe the anxiety of navigating a foreign medical system during a holiday when clinics close and transport options dwindle. The scene follows their careful packing of George into a carrier, the tense ride via a DD taxi, and the relief of arriving at a clean, 24-hour clinic where doctors plan blood tests, an ultrasound, and an X-ray to assess kidneys and bladder. The translator helps bridge the language gap as they learn costs and processes, comparing expenses with the UK and reflecting on how expat life complicates simple vet visits. The cats’ strong bond—with George being more timid and Albert acting as his comfort—emerges as a central emotional thread. By the end, the family receives upfront peace of mind from treatment and medication, and the video ends with a hopeful note about recovery and a future tour of the rescue center where the cats were found. Traveler names appear as a couple, and the tone remains intimate, practical, and observational, focused on real-world challenges of pet care abroad during a major holiday.

They describe the cats’ bond, especially the inseparable brothers George and Albert, who were rescued and adopted together after a difficult start. The couple uses a DD taxi app and a translator to navigate logistics, worried about whether the bag will fit and whether a driver will accept a cat in transit. At the clinic, they learn about the planned examinations—blood tests, X-ray, and ultrasound—to check kidneys and bladder, and they compare the price to back home, realizing that Shanghai’s rates, while high by expat standards, are still more affordable than they’d
