Share feeding, medication, carrier, litter, anxiety, and other routine information before booking so those needs can be considered in the trip plan.

Before pickup

What to prepare for cat transport.

Send enough of your cat's regular food for the trip plus clear written feeding and routine instructions.

Veterinary records

Have vaccination records and any health documents required for the route available before travel.

Litter preferences

Tell us what type of litter and litter-box routine your cat is used to so those details can be considered during trip planning.

Medication instructions

Provide medication details and written instructions before pickup. Questions about whether medication is appropriate for travel should be discussed with your veterinarian.

Temperament and stress notes

Tell us about escape behavior, handling sensitivities, motion sickness, anxiety, or anything else that may affect the trip.
