I’m not either. Been wondering how to get one to NJ.

It would probably be very traumatic to kitty to get here. I know it’s traumatic for a cat to go three miles to the vet in a car- can you imagine 3000 miles in a plane?

I’ve actually had very good luck transporting cats in planes. When I was in grad school in Chicago, my kitty went back and forth with me from Texas to Chicago several times. She wasn’t thrilled but not traumatized either. Then my husband and I went to live for a semester in France, and took my babygirl kitty Georgina with us (she was a former feral and literally wouldn’t eat for anyone but me, so we took her with!). On the way over, she got to ride in the cabin with us (thank you, Air France!) but on the way back, Continental made her ride in the hold. No problem either way. We once even adopted a cat we saw on a web site in Virginia, when we were in Texas. My BIL was traveling soon from Virginia to TX and agreed to bring us the kitty. Again, no worries. Unless cats are in bad physical shape to start, they’re mostly good (if complaining! LOL!) passengers.
