I've looked at the previous answers on this topic, and I'm not sure there's anything that can help. The last time I moved one of my cats, I had the vet give him an oral sedative, put him in the carrier, and he still cried and howled nonstop for the entire 20-hour trip. I've now adopted a second cat who hates travel just as much and also defecates the second he is put into a kitty carrier; needless to say, this makes any trip exceedingly unpleasant, especially in the summer. I would also be driving a rental car, and sometimes they don't allow animals in their vehicles. I have considered air travel as an alternative, but 1) news stories about airline negligence causing pet deaths in baggage holds have me worried and 2) I read in a previous answer that the fee per cat would be $250, and I simply don't have an extra $500 to spare; I'll be lucky if I can pay for this trip (from Minneapolis to Boston) at all. Are there any other options that might be more effective? I'm at a loss.
