Cat Travel
If you want the best team to bring your cat to their new home, you’ve found us.
Cats are our specialty, and caring for them is the work we’ve built our careers around.
No one can match our cat expertise or experience.
See how we plan a cat’s move ↓What cats need on the move
From cargo crates to airport pet relief areas, much of pet travel is built around dogs and their owners. We built Cabin Companions with cats in mind, drawing on Monica’s 30+ years in feline sheltering and animal welfare leadership, Natascha’s hands-on work as a veterinary technician, and Gabe’s years of flying with cats around the world.
Your cat is one of a kind, and they mean the world to you. We’ll plan their route, help you choose a carrier and get them ready, and build in any medication guidance from their vet so they can travel as comfortably and securely as possible.
Tell us when you’ll be ready to welcome your cat home. We’ll take it from there, arranging the route and timing around your schedule and taking care of the travel details all the way through arrival.
Before travel day, you’ll know exactly who’s picking up your cat. Your escort stays with them through every flight and connection and keeps you updated on how they’re doing until you’re together again.
No gig workers. No handoffs. Ever.
Why we started
Cabin Companions grew out of our work in animal sheltering and welfare. We’d seen what can happen when the logistics of a move come before the animal’s needs. We built Cabin Companions to plan trips around each pet and give families a person they know is responsible for their care.
