Generally speaking, cats aren't the best travelers. It's important to travel them in a comfortable, well-ventilated container to minimize any stress. Include a portion of their bedspread in the carrier to give them a familiar aroma. Don't carry along a pet dog, and if at all could, leaving any loud or eager kids in the house.
You may also wish to spray the cat's bedding and container with Feliway prior to putting it in the carrier with the feline in it. On your cat's face are naturally occurring "positive" pheromones, and this is a synthesized form of them. They may reassure you in some way.
While traveling, don't give them any sweets because they may vomit if they are agitated. Once your cat is home and established, you can start on a desensitized strategy to create more positive interactions with the car or carrier.
Once your new pet has settled and adjusted to his new environment, make an appointment with your pet hospital Gresham, OR for a health and wellness check.
