Preparing Your Cat for Their Visit
For your cat’s safety, they should be transported in a secure carrier. Help your cat become comfortable with the carrier during the days prior to their appointment by placing it in a room where they spend a lot of time. Adding familiar objects such as soft bedding and placing treats, catnip, or toys inside the carrier will decrease their anxiety and help your cat to relax. Note that it could take days or weeks for your cat to get used to the carrier. If your cat is especially anxious during the car ride, you may want to cover the carrier with a blanket or towel. Some cats like to see what’s happening, but others prefer when the carrier is covered. See which option your cat likes best by placing them inside the carrier while transporting them around the house, covered and uncovered.
