Choose an airline-approved carrier or crate with your cat's name/info, familiar bedding, litter pan and water.
Carrier
Pack a spill-proof bowl, food, litter, waste bags, grooming supplies, medication and toys.
Supplies
To ease motion sickness, don't feed right before travel, use anti-nausea meds, calming treats, and plastic carriers.
Sickness
Minimize stress with calming sprays/herbs, minimizing stops, and keeping the carrier secure and covered.
Anxiety
When stopping, keep your cat confined in a temperature-controlled car to prevent escape and access food/litter privately.
Pit Stops
Call pet-friendly hotels in advance, keep the cat in the bathroom with food/litter when settling into lodging.
Lodging
Bring a copy of your cat's rabies certificate and medical information in case of a vet emergency en route.
