Carrier
Use a durable design with three or four sides of ventilation. The carrier should be large enough to hold a small litter box. Models that secure to your vehicle’s seat add additional safety. |
 |
Litter Box
Disposable litter pans are a great alternative if you cannot bring one of your cat’s normal boxes. |
 |
Halter & Lead
Keep an H-style or Figure-8 harness, connected to a suitable lead, on your cat at all times. A current and legible nametag is also essential. |
 |
Vaccination Records
A current list of your cat’s vaccinations and any medications he may be taking is required in many states. Check your destination state’s rules regarding importing animals. |
 |
Flea & Tick Protection
Use a suitable topical to help prevent parasite infestation while traveling. |
 |
Food & Water
Bring extra food and water. Both travel well in empty and washed food-grade gallon jugs. Keep an extra set of dishes on hand. |
 |
Toys
Occupy your cat’s time in his carrier or at hotels with a few of his favorite toys. |
 |
Nametags
Have new ones made with cell number and destination address. They’re inexpensive. |
