Many airlines have a pet embargo during the hot summer months. Best to check with the individual airline you plan to use to transport Aimee.
Maybe you could have a chain of Freepers transport her. Maybe you could drive 50 or so miles west and hand her off to a Freeper in that area who could drive west and hand her off to another Freeper, etc.
Ping to #115. I recall that you recently got a adopted dog cross-country to a new home. Would you have any advice on how to do this for my FeLV+ kitty, please?
The shelter in Kanab, Utah? I have a willing driver that can get her from Phoenix to Kanab if needed.
Let me know.
Get a sedative from the vet to make it just a blurry dream she won't remember, and transport her if possible during the night so she doesn't overheat on the tarmac. Make sure someone will be there to pick her up promptly.
It wasn't me who sent the dog by air recently, it was dutchess and markv840 - I just did some pinging in the ordeal!

I wish I had seen this days ago! I recently had 8 cats shipped from California to Maryland on Northwest. With the airlines, the criteria is that the temperature must not exceed 85 degrees at any point where the plane lands. You can check out the requirements at the airlines' web sites. Several airlines ship pets. We used Northwest because their hub in Minneapolis, where the kitties would change planes, rarely exceeds 85 degrees.
