Does your cat need to take a trip to the vet?  It can take time for your cat to adjust to a carrier.  Here are a few tips to help make your cat’s trip to the vet as comfortable as possible.

Cat Carrier Tips:
  • Introduction – Let your cat become used to the carrier.  This will help him or her become comfortable with the idea of taking a trip.
  • Customization – Add your cat’s favorite toys and treats to the carrier.  Stuffed mice, catnip toys, feather toys, and cat grass can help your cat feel relaxed.
  • Trust – Don’t lure your cat into the carrier and close it.  Make sure that they trust you and feel calm.
  • Patience – It may take several months before your cat feel completely comfortable inside of their carrier.
