For all of you who have shipped your cats to their new homes and for those of you who have had your kitties flown to you, what has been your experience?
Are there any specific things to look out for?
Whats the procedure when you send them off (breeders)?
Whats the procedure when you pick them up (adopters)?
Are they generally stressed out when they arrive?
When is the best time to take them to the vet?
Anything the vet should look out for?
My Ares will be flying from Montana to Chicago next week and I'm a little nervous. I'm worried about how he'll take it. I'm convinced its got to be a scary event for him, leaving his home and traveling in a big metal bird with all kinds of strangers, only to arrive in the arms of a new stranger who swears she loves him.
Do treats help?
Nial, I know you let your cats out of their cages when in the car. Do you think this might help Ares when I pick him up? The car ride from the airport to my home is usually only 20 minutes (but with this being christmas weekend at the airport, who knows!)
Thank you so much everyone!
