My daughter lives in Washington state and has a pet cat. She cannot keep it where she is living at this time and I offered to keep it here at my house for her as she really loves her cat and does not want to give it away. One problem. I live in Montana. Is there a way that her cat can be sent here to Montana from Washington state? If yes, how do I go about doing it and what is the cost.
Answers:
First, let me say what a nice mom you are for taking in your daughter's cat. Is there anyway one of you could visit the other? The best way to transfer a pet is via car in a "pet taxi" with stops to use the litter box, and give water and food.
You could also fly with the cat inside the plane-many airlines allow small pets in their carriers (the small ones) to place the pet under the seat. This is better than the cargo hold for many reasons, as someone else already explained.
I would have your daughter call her vet to see if there are other alternatives or if they have suggestions.
I found that Atlas Movers has a website explaining the different methods of moving pets. Go to

Good luck!

Yes, but it will cost you! You can fly an animal but it has to be approved by the airline and in one of those hard plastic carriers with the metal doors. I believe that you have to purchase a ticket for it, however it will be flown in the cargo hold. This is very dangerous for a pet, and the airline will only agree to do it during certain months due to extreme heat/cold etc. Beware that many pets die in the cargo hold. Your best option is to either take a weekend trip out there and take it back with you, or have her bring it home on an upcoming break. If you must fly it, call your preferred airline and ask about rates. Call as soon as possible because airlines only allow a certain number of animals on a flight at one time.
She can ship it to you on a plain. Airlines have different prices.
If she has a pet carier, you can advertise for someone in her area that is traveling your way, to bring it.. some of the businesses that do this are rental car companis, and u haul transfrs trucks and eqmt. as well. you can also contact moving van companies and they will see if the truckdriver coming your way will meet you..it will help to calculate the travel time, and see if any of these ideas will work.. also she can contact her vet, as she will have to have the cats vacinnation records up to date, and have her get a sedative for traveling.cat scan survive well in these conditions, just make sure the temperatures are comfortable.. I do not know if she can put it on a bus, either,, that might work.good luck.
