Move the cat without losing continuity of care.
Transportation can be a simple ride to grooming—or a complex relocation involving records, carriers, medication, airport timing, boarding, destination planning, and household transition. Portland Cat Care connects the route to the actual care needs.
Not every move requires the same level of planning.
Start with the destination and timing, then add the cat’s carrier tolerance, medication, health, mobility, documentation, and transition needs.
Local appointment transport
Planned transportation for grooming, boarding, veterinary visits, specialty appointments, and return home.
Airport and flight logistics
Carrier preparation, timing, documentation, airport handoff, ground transportation, and contingency planning around a flight.
Household relocation
Support for local or long-distance moves, including temporary boarding, destination setup, medication continuity, and transition pacing.
Medical transport considerations
Adaptation for senior cats, mobility limits, medication timing, diabetic care, respiratory sensitivity, and cats requiring careful handling.
Boarding around the move
Use feline-only boarding before, during, or after travel when the household environment is unstable or the destination is not ready.
Connect boarding →Changing households
When transport is part of rehoming, rescue, foster placement, or a larger care transition, connect it to FELINE TRANSITIONS® rather than treating it as a ride only.

The destination should be ready before the carrier opens.
A successful relocation includes more than arrival. Food, litter, hiding, vertical space, medication, quiet, temperature, doors, windows, and household access should be prepared so the cat enters a functioning environment.
The move can be integrated with grooming, boarding, medical care, and transition planning.
The network can help prevent fragmented handoffs when several services are needed before the cat reaches the final destination.
Define the route
Origin, destination, dates, mode of travel, and handoff responsibilities.
Assess the cat
Carrier tolerance, health, medication, mobility, behavior, and prior travel response.
Build support
Add boarding, grooming, veterinary coordination, or transition planning as needed.
Complete the handoff
Transfer the cat with usable records, instructions, and a prepared receiving environment.
Use Go Pet Go for relocation and Cats in the City for connected local care.
Share the full itinerary and the cat’s medical and behavioral needs early. Complex moves require more lead time than a routine appointment ride.
