Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! My favorite to use in cases like this to prevent stress is something that is actually sprayed in the environment/objects in contact with him instead of actually being given as a medication. This is called Feliway and you can find it online or at your local pet store. Works great in these scenarios. Good luck and have a great day!
