Transporting your kitten

Your kitten should always travel in a secure cat carrier - either top or front opening, made of rigid plastic or plastic-coated metal mesh. A cardboard carrier is not secure, nor is allowing your cat to travel on your lap in the back of a car!

Make sure your kitten is comfortable with a blanket or cushion, and is neither too hot or too cold. If the carrier is in full sun in the car, your kitten can soon overheat. If the journey is to be a long one, it is a good idea to provide a bowl of water, clipped to the inside of the carrier.

Never lend a cat basket and never borrow one – it may have been used for transporting a sick cat. Always disinfect the basket after a visit to a vet or a cat show. Keep your basket on your lap at the vets, as it is possible for your cat to pick up infections and flees from the floor.
