Leaving Your Cat behind When You Travel
Posted by Jeanne on January 26, 2009
If you have the cat that freaks out whenever you try to travel by plane or by car, you will probably have to come up with a different plan for traveling. You can choose to leave your cat with friends, at home, or in a boarding place. Whatever you choose will probably depend largely on your cat and his attitudes and ability to adapt. A boarding place will allow you to leave your cat in a place where he will be taken care of.
Unfortunately, not all pet boarding facilities are a great place to leave your pet, so you will have to do a lot of careful research before just dropping off your cat. A friend or family members might take in your cat so they can take care of all your cat’s needs while you are gone. You can also choose to leave your cat at home if you will only be gone a short time or have a cat sitter stay at your home with your cat.
Don’t ask just anyone. Make sure they can be trusted, and make sure to leave them with a list of things such as what food you feed, when you feed, when to clean the litter box
