How to fly with a cat
One of the qualities we adore about cats is their independence. Still, as self-reliant as they are, we wouldn’t dream of leaving our little lions at home when it’s time to visit family and friends across the country.

Before our kitties can earn their wings, managing their air travel and finding the best airlines for traveling with pets is key to flying with less stress. It’s wise to help your cat prepare for all the nuances of travel weeks before the trip and have contingency plans for unforeseen delays or a canceled flight.
