Instructions

Obtain a copy of your cat's veterinary records to give to the vet in the new area.

Call the state veterinarian in the capital of the state you're moving to. Find out if you need to provide any paperwork to bring your cat into the state.

Call the town or village hall in the new locale. How to Stop Cat Peeing? Click Here!. Ask about licensing requirements.

Make arrangements for your cat to travel with you in a car or by air. Cats are not permitted on trains or buses.

Feed your cat five to six hours before you move. Let her drink two hours before you leave the house. Give the cat medication if she gets overly excited or nervous while traveling.

Bring food and water. Make frequent stops to exercise your cat and let her drink.

Keep your cat confined while you move in. Release her when all doors and windows are closed so she can't escape. Take time to help her become used to the new house.

Use the same food and water bowls, bedding, litter box and toys, and put them in a location similar to where they used to be.

Take your cat out on a leash until she's familiar with the yard and neighborhood.

Maintain your cat's regular schedule in the days after the move.

Make an appointment with a local vet and take in your cat's records.
