7 Pro Tips for Moving With a Cat

7 Pro Tips for Moving With a Cat

If you’re moving with a cat, you want to make sure the transition is as smooth as possible. Here are seven pro tips to help make the move go smoothly for your feline friend.

7 Pro Tips for Moving With a Cat

Check out these seven great tips for moving with your cat:

  1. Update your cat’s microchip and collar tags
  2. Get your cat used to their carrier
  3. Pack a travel bag for your four-legged family member
  4. Consider hiring a pet-sitter for moving day, or keep your cat in their crate all day
  5. Don’t let your cat out of their carrier until your new home is secure
  6. Set up your cat’s space immediately
  7. Introduce one room at a time

Here’s a closer look at each.

Tip #1 for Moving With a Cat: Update Your Cat’s Microchip and Collar Tags

Before you move, make sure your cat’s microchip and collar tags are up-to-date. This is important in case your cat gets lost during the move or after you’ve arrived at your new home.

Tip #2 for Moving With a Cat: Get Your Cat Used to Their Carrier

Your cat will need to be in a carrier during the move. Get them used to it by putting it out a week or two before the move and letting them explore it and sleep in it.

Tip #3 for Moving With a Cat: Pack a Travel Bag for Your Four-legged Family Member

Just like you need a travel bag packed and ready to go, so does your cat. Include things like food, water, toys, a litter box, and anything else your cat will need during the move.

Tip #4 for Moving With a Cat: Consider Hiring a Pet Sitter for Moving Day

If you’re going to be busy on moving day and won’t be able to keep an eye on your cat, consider hiring a pet sitter. They can make sure your cat is safe and taken care of while you’re busy with the move.

Tip #5 for Moving With a Cat: Don’t Let Your Cat Out of Their Carrier Until Your New Home is Secure

Once you arrive at your new home, don’t let your cat out of their carrier until you’ve had a chance to secure the space. This means putting away any chemicals or cleaning supplies, putting up baby gates, and making sure there are no escape routes for your curious cat.

Tip #6 for Moving With a Cat: Set Up Your Cat’s Space Immediately

As soon as you arrive at your new home, set up your cat’s space. This includes their litter box, food and water bowls, bed, and anything else they’ll need.

Tip #7 for Moving With a Cat: Introduce One Room at a Time

Once your cat’s space is set up, let them out of their carrier and give them time to adjust to the new room. Once they’re comfortable, you can introduce them to the rest of the house one room at a time.

Moving with a cat doesn’t have to be stressful. With a little planning and preparation, you can make the move go smoothly for both you and your feline friend.
