Lacey’s mom was moving from Las Vegas to Portland, Maine and needed trusted help bringing her beloved cat home. Lacey lives with significant anxiety and some minor medical concerns, so her mom wanted her accompanied by an experienced professional who could monitor both her behavior and health throughout the trip.
From the Vet to the Airport
We arrived in Las Vegas and drove directly to the veterinary office where Lacey had stayed overnight. We collected her medication, reviewed what she needed, and began the trip to Portland, Maine.
The available itinerary required a layover in Boston, taking us across the country before continuing on to Maine. Throughout the flights, Lacey remained under direct, personal supervision.
A Quiet Night Before Home
In Portland, Maine, we checked into a pet-friendly hotel for the night. Away from the airport, Lacey settled in nicely and discovered one of the great pleasures of hotel life: drinking directly from the bathroom faucet, as so many cats insist on doing.
The following morning, we met her mom in the parking lot. She was thrilled to see Lacey safe and sound and ready to bring her into their new home.
The family later shared their experience in a review from Elizabeth James. Lacey’s journey shows the value of slowing down when an anxious or medically sensitive pet needs more than transportation alone. Sometimes a quiet hotel room, careful medication management, and one consistent companion make all the difference.

★★★★★“From our very first conversation with Gabe and Monica to the transferring of our cat back into our care, the experience with Cabin Companions was excellent. Our cat hates to travel but was taken very good care of by Gabe as she flew from Las Vegas, NV to her new home with us in Maine. Gabe was always willing to make accommodation for changes in plan. We could not recommend Cabin Companions more highly. 😊🐈⬛✈️🧡.”
