Comprehensive Guide to Cat Relocation: Air, Road, and Train Travel Explained

1. Cat Relocation by Train: Comfortable & Cost-Effective

Service Details

Traveling with your cat by train in India can be a convenient and safe option when done correctly. At PetRelocation.IN, we ensure that every feline journey is stress-free and comfortable. Here are the key details:

  1. Travel Options for Cats:

    • Cats are allowed to travel in 1st AC Coupe or 2nd/3rd AC coach only. The dog box option is not available for cats.

  2. Requirements for 2nd/3rd AC Travel:

    • If traveling in 2nd/3rd AC, your cat must be securely placed in a comfortable basket or crate for the journey. This ensures their safety and comfort throughout the trip.

    • For crate selection and guidance, please visit our Pet Carrier Guide page.

  3. Additional Resources:

    • For more in-depth information about traveling with cats by train, including preparation tips and guidelines, check out our Pet Travel by Train page.

    • Watch real-life relocation stories and videos of cats traveling by train on our website to see how we make the experience seamless and enjoyable.

By choosing PetRelocation.IN, you’ll have experienced handlers who specialize in feline relocation and provide personalized care for every journey.

 

Ensuring your cat is well-prepared for train travel is crucial for a smooth and safe journey. Follow these steps:

  1. Documentation:

    • Keep your cat’s vaccination record and a health certificate ready. These documents are mandatory for train travel.

  2. Crate, Bedding, and Toys:

    • Use a secure crate with comfortable bedding to keep your cat cozy.

    • Include your cat’s favorite toys to provide familiarity and reduce stress.

  3. Food and Feeding Schedule:

    • Provide your cat’s preferred food for the journey.

    • Clearly communicate the feeding schedule to the handler at the time of pickup.

  4. Collar, Leash, and Harness:

    • Provide a collar, leash, and harness, especially for Indie cats, as they tend to be more adventurous and prone to escape.

    • Persian and British cats are generally calmer but should still have these items for safety.

  5. Medication:

    • If your cat is on medication, ensure you provide the necessary medicines and inform the handler about the dosage and schedule.

By preparing thoroughly, you can ensure your cat has a safe and comfortable journey by train.
