Personal pickup
Your driver confirms the handoff details, reviews supplies and written care instructions, and gives your cat time to be handled calmly.
Door-to-door ground transport
Long-distance cat transport built around the cat—not just the miles.
Interstate and cross-country travel can disrupt everything a cat recognizes. Cat Valet plans the journey around familiar food, careful handling, predictable routines, and a personal handoff at the destination. Source: FelineVMA transport guidance.
A feline-first service
Door-to-door care from pickup through reunion.
Cat Valet provides dedicated ground transport for cats traveling long distances. Pickup and delivery happen at the addresses arranged with you, reducing unnecessary transfers and unfamiliar handoffs.
Before departure, we learn your cat's feeding schedule, litter preferences, handling needs, comfort items, medications, and recognizable stress signals. Those details become written instructions for the journey rather than informal notes that can be forgotten during long hours on the road.
We build a travel plan around your cat’s usual routine. You know we understand the details that matter.
What the service includes
Thoughtful care at every stage of the journey.
Routine-based travel
Food, water, litter access, comfort items, medication schedules, and observations follow the care plan prepared before departure.
Planned communication
Update expectations are agreed upon before the trip so you know how and when you will hear from the driver.
Direct delivery
The journey ends with a personal handoff at the arranged destination and any relevant travel observations shared with the receiving person.
Where we travel
Interstate, cross-country, Alaska, and Canada.
We serve the lower 48 states, Alaska, and Canada. We review each request one cat at a time. Border rules, distance, weather, ferry schedules, and your cat’s needs can all change the safest plan.
