Schedule a pre-trip veterinary checkup to ensure your cat is healthy and fit for travel
Choose a sturdy and well-ventilated cat carrier for your road trip. Familiarize your cat with the carrier before the journey
Pack comfort items like a favorite blanket or toy inside the carrier to help your cat feel secure and relaxed during the trip
Bring sufficient cat food and fresh water for the journey. Stick to your cat's regular diet to avoid stomach upset
Include a portable litter box with your cat's preferred litter for bathroom breaks during the trip. Plan for easy access and regular cleaning
Double-check your cat's ID tags and ensure they have your current contact information. Update microchip details if necessary
Plan rest stops along the route where your cat can stretch, use the litter box, and drink water. Avoid leaving your cat unattended in the car
