Central Cat

Tuesday, November 17, 2020

If possible, bring the carrier out of storage and into the cats' environment well ahead of the visit.
Ideally, the cat should love its carrier as a dog loves its crate.
Leave the carrier out 24/7 in a room the cat likes to sleep in.
Take the lid off the carrier to start with if needed.
Have the carrier lined with a thick blanket and piece of clothing or cloth.....with YOUR scent.
Leave toys and treats and catnip in the carrier.
A secure carrier where the top comes off for the examination is needed.
Only one cat per carrier.
Carrier should go in the boot well in the back seat or buckled on the seat.
Always double-check that the carrier is secure before picking it up and carry with the handle while supporting the bottom.
Loaner carriers are available at Central Cat Hospital for a deposit which is refunded when the carrier is returned.
