Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 10 months old

Me and my cat have had to move to a completely different environment, she has always had anxiety and this is now becoming worse. She has not come out of her crate since yesterday, she won’t eat or drink or go to the toilet. Is there any thing I can do which will help and is there any products that are approved by vets that i can use other than feliway

Lovely Mars! You cold try with Zylkene (check the website: http://www.zylkenepet.co.uk) but if she refuses to eat is quite difficult to administer without pilling her and increase her distress. Try to offer nice and smelly food, her favorite, to encourage Mars to come out from the create. Create a cosy environment (a small rooms is ideal) where she can feel safe without people getting in and out or strong noises. If the problem persist I would have a chat with a veterinarian expert in behavior that will be happy to provide an home visit. Please post again on the forum for further advices. I hope the answer was helpful.
