Medication
Medication name, prescribed dose, administration method, timing, storage instructions, and the prescribing veterinarian’s directions.
Medication & diabetic-cat transport
Cat transport with medication and insulin care.
Cat Valet can follow written instructions for prescribed oral and topical medications and insulin injections while maintaining the feeding and observation routine your cat relies on.
Individual review required
The care plan comes before the travel plan.
Medical needs are reviewed before a trip is accepted. We need the medication name, dose, timing, storage details, and relationship to meals. We also need your veterinarian’s instructions on what to watch for.
Drivers administer medication only according to the written instructions supplied for the cat. They do not diagnose, prescribe, change a dose, or independently adjust a treatment schedule.
Not every condition or trip is safe for ground transport. If a cat's health status raises concerns, we may ask you to consult the prescribing veterinarian before the trip is confirmed. Source: Cornell Feline Health Center.
What we document
A clear schedule, prepared before pickup.
Food and insulin
Usual food, portion, meal timing, insulin timing, supplies, storage, and the established relationship between feeding and dosing. Source: AAHA 2026 feline diabetes guidelines.
Observation
Normal appetite and behavior, warning signs identified by you or your veterinarian, and relevant observations during travel.
Contingency contacts
Owner, receiving person, veterinarian, and written instructions describing who should be contacted if a scheduled part of care cannot proceed normally.
Preparing medications
Send exactly what the journey requires—with a safe margin.
Keep medication in its original labeled packaging whenever possible. Provide the administration supplies, storage materials, food, written instructions, veterinarian contact information, and enough medication for the expected travel time plus a reasonable delay.
Do not place prescription details only in a text message. The final written care plan should be complete, legible, and consistent with the medication labels.
Use the quote form to identify insulin, oral medication, topical medication, or a prescription diet. We will follow up for the details we need to review your cat’s needs.
Source note
Medical decisions stay with your veterinarian.
Our role is to carry out the written plan supplied for the cat, not to make clinical decisions. Cornell’s Feline Health Center explains that a cat’s diabetes monitoring and treatment should be coordinated closely with its veterinarian. [1] Cornell Feline Health Center: Feline Diabetes
