How to move your cat abroad without causing them too much stress?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Me and my fiance would like to get a new cat. The only problem is that in around 5 years there is a chance that we may move abroad and we would love our cat to come with us. We don't want to stress out our feline but at the same time we would love our cat to stay with us. We just don't want to be selfish.

I have clients who move abroad all the time and take their pets. Depending on where you move, the requirements can be extensive. Make sure you start investigating what needs to be done many months prior to the move and you should be fine. Cats usually travel well if they are well-adjusted to the carrier and you have plenty of time to work on that.
