Long-distance ground transport for cats

Long-distance cat transport where the journey matters because they matter.

Specialized transport centered around your cat's routine, comfort, and connection with you—from the first conversation to the moment you're together again.

Serving the lower 48 states, Alaska, and Canada

A genuinely feline approach

Cats aren't smaller dogs. Their transport shouldn't be treated the same way.

Cats experience travel through familiarity: known food, predictable handling, familiar scents, and a routine they can recognize. We begin by learning what “normal” looks like for your cat. Source: FelineVMA transport guidance.

That understanding becomes a personalized journey plan—one that gives the driver clear guidance and gives you confidence that your cat is being cared for as an individual.

Care that follows their routine

The familiar things travel with them.

Before departure, we write down the details that help your cat feel secure and keep their care consistent throughout the journey.

01

Food & water

Their regular food, usual portions, feeding times, water preferences, prescription diets, and sensitivities.

02

Comfort & handling

Familiar bedding, comfort items, handling preferences, stress signals, and the ways your cat prefers to be reassured.

03

Litter & observation

Litter preferences and important things to watch for about appetite, water intake, behavior, and litter-box use.

Medication & diabetic-cat care

Specialized care doesn't stop at departure.

Cats with ongoing medical needs deserve the same dependable care on the road that they receive at home.

Our drivers can administer prescribed oral and topical medications, as well as insulin injections, according to the written care instructions supplied for your cat.

A written schedule

Feeding, medication, storage requirements, and relevant observations are recorded throughout the journey.

Medication is administered only as prescribed. Drivers do not independently change dosages or treatment schedules.

A thoughtful process

A calmer journey begins before pickup.

A new cat-only service, built on transport experience dating to 2019.

Because Cat Valet is new, we will not borrow old reviews or stage driver photos. The proof we can offer now is a clear, documented process you can review before pickup.

Before pickup

We document feeding, litter, medication, comfort items, contacts, and the signs that matter for your cat.

During the journey

The driver follows the agreed care and update schedule, including prescribed medication and insulin instructions.

If plans change

Current owner, delivery, emergency, and veterinary contacts are kept with the journey plan so the right person can be reached.

Start with the journey

Required route details first. No contact information until the next step.

The reason behind every detail

You know the look that says, “I'm safe because you're here.”

We can't replace that bond. We can respect it—by listening carefully, following the routines you've built together, and treating your cat's journey with the care it deserves.
