Many cats are very bad travellers and the stress of such a long journey in a heavily pregnant cat may induce complications and early delivery of the kittens; it would be unsafe to try to sedate her for such a journey. I recommend you try to find somebody to look after her until after she has had the kittens and they are weaned (4-5weeks of age)
