Led by the Nation’s Foremost Expert in Cat Relocation
Cabin Companions was co-founded by Monica Tarant, the nation’s leading expert in cat sheltering and feline relocation. Monica has personally overseen the safe relocation of tens of thousands of cats across the U.S. and internationally.
At Cabin Companions, we understand that cats aren’t small dogs — they’re unique travelers with their own needs, behaviors, and ways of experiencing the world. With Monica’s expertise in feline handling, stress reduction, and transport, we create calm, safe, and cat-friendly travel experiences. Whether your cat is shy, curious, senior, requires medication, or has specific medical needs, we tailor the trip accordingly — and treat them like the individuals they are.
That’s why every cat flight we arrange is built around feline behavior, comfort, and emotional well-being. Whether your cat is social, adventurous, sensitive, or needs extra care, we create a personalized travel plan to ensure they feel safe and secure every step of the way.
From the right carrier and handling techniques to medication schedules, quiet travel routines, and stress-minimizing strategies, our team brings unmatched expertise in what helps cats thrive on the move.
When you trust us with your cat, you’re choosing a team that truly understands — and loves — cats.
