Oh I like that one! Sofia can look out and there are nice big air holes. I would slowly get her used to being in it. Start by leaving it open, and letting her explore it. Then put her in it for a few minutes once a day, and then slowly increasing the amount of time she is in it.

Charlie should be able to tolerate a very large dog style crate or a cat condo for days to a week or so. Cats often stay in similar sized cages while boarding, however be aware that cats confined will need litter changed several times daily and he would benefit from interactive toys. If possible, he may do better if allowed to be closed into a room vs a crate. Other options may be long term boarding if needed, if there is a cat facility near you with larger cages/condos available. A cat condo that might work better than a crate: https://www.amazon.com/Prevue-Pet-Products-Premium-Deluxe/dp/B015RRSZXO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1522461943&sr=8-1&keywords=cat+condo+cage The larger the area Charlie has and the more toys/interaction that Charlie has will make confinement less difficult on him. Be sure to monitor him for signs of stress such as not eating, going outside the literbox or excessive grooming. I hope this helps. Good Luck and thank you for using Boop by Petco

Ohio to Florida is a very long drive for a stressed out kitty. I would consider the use of pharmaceuticals to relieve the anxiety associated with this trip. There are drugs that can both relieve stress and / or tranquilize scrappy for moderated to extended periods of time. Also, you are speaking about a harness. Are you not intending on placing Scrappy in a crate / cat carrier for the trip? I would definitely reconsider if this is your plan, as this sort of confinement will certainly make Scrappy feel more comfortable. You can also add something like a Feliway spay to the carrier, which is a pheromonal substance designed to keep cats calmer. Hope this helps and good luck with your move!

Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Princess and for providing a picture, it's helpful. Yes, it does look like she fits in it, but I am concerned that it may not be high enough for her. You'd like for the carrier to be big enough that the dog can turn around in. I'm not sure if you are planning to take her on a flight; if you are, you should check with the airlines to get their rules around pet transport and the requirements for the dog and the carrier. Best of luck.
