Anyone with a cat knows that they don't do well with change, and moving is especially hard on them. This is because they are very territorial and bonded to their living space, so moving to a new home is a major disruption. It's important to minimize this stress as much as possible for your cat's health and wellbeing.

We'll discuss what to do pre-move, during the move, and in your new home to help your cat(s) have a smooth transition.
