Hi All-
I will be moving soon, from New York to Raleigh, NC. The drive is about 8 1/2 hours, and I have been trying to get my 14 year old kitty used to being in the car by driving him around where I live for about an hour at a time. We plan to discuss sedatives with our vet, but he has a heart murmur and I am concerned for his health - I know it will be extrememly stressful for him, and I need to make this as stress free as possible. Even in one hour long drives he tends to freak out.
I am wondering if there is any easy way to get a list of veterinarians that will be along our driving route, just in case we need to pull off the road and get him to a vet asap? We will be taking I-95 for the bulk of the trip, which goes through Baltimore, Washington, DC, Richmond, VA, but I want to know locations of vets every 10-20 miles along the way.
I appreciate any help anyone can offer. It looks like there are a lot of people here with cat moving experience, and any advice/testamonials are welcome!!
