One of the main factors in cat transport is choosing the right carrier. A high-quality carrier provides safety and comfort while preventing escape. The carrier should be well-ventilated, sturdy, and large enough for the cat to stand, turn, and lie down comfortably. Soft carriers may work for short distances, but hard-sided carriers are generally recommended for longer trips. Introducing the carrier early is crucial; leaving it open in the cat’s living space allows the cat to explore and become familiar with it. This helps reduce fear and makes the transport day less stressful. cat transport
