Moving to a New Home with Cats

Now, we're all about ethical pet parenting, and we won't be handing out ninja cat-hiding techniques, but fear not! We've got a treasure trove of advice on finding the purr-fect pet-friendly abode and ensuring your feline royalty settles into their new kingdom with ease.


Apartment Hunt: Where Cats Reign Supreme:

Moving with your whiskered companion? It's not just a change of address; it's a quest for a cat-approved kingdom. Here's the lowdown:


🏢 Research and Reach Out:

Take your time to explore pet-friendly communities. Connect with local shelters, humane societies, and the cat grapevine. They might just spill the beans on the best cat-friendly havens.


🕵️‍♂️ Partner with Your Realtor:

Got a real estate sidekick? Let them in on the mission. Be crystal clear about your pet priorities, and watch as they unearth the hidden gems of cat-friendly dwellings.


🗣️ Open Dialogue with Landlords:

Encounter a cautious landlord? Don't panic—educate! Address concerns, show your responsible pet parent badge, and gather a purr-sonal dossier of your cat's medical records and a glowing reference from your current landlord.


📝 Inking the Agreement:

Permission granted? Fantastic! But, and it's a big but—get it in writing! Verbal agreements won't cut it in the world of cat-approved living. Preparing for the Grand Migration: Moving day is on the horizon, and your feline friend needs VIP treatment. Here's how to make it a smooth ride:


📦 Carrier Comfort:

Cats and change—frenemies at best. Ease them into the idea of the carrier weeks in advance. It's not just a ride; it's a cozy cat cave with treats inside!


📦 Box Patrol: Introduce the moving boxes ahead of time. Let your cat inspect and conquer the cardboard kingdom. The more familiar, the less "uh-oh" on moving day.


📦 Routine Royalty:

Cats crave routine. Keep feeding and playtime on schedule. Stability is the secret sauce for happy cat movers. Cat Conquest: Settling into the New Kingdom: You've conquered the move; now, it's time to let your cat reign supreme in their new castle:


🏰 Base Camp: Designate a regal room for your cat—a safe haven with all their royal necessities. It's their throne room for plotting exploration.


📦 Room-by-Room Unveiling:

Gradual exploration is the key to success. Let your cat unveil the realms, one room at a time, with your watchful eye as the guide.


🚀 Litter Launch:

Place a temporary litter box in their sanctuary and another in the desired location. It's the purr-fect strategy to ensure a smooth transition.


There you have it—

The Peaks Pet Nanny's guide to moving with your feline sovereign. From apartment hunting to room-by-room conquering, we're all about ensuring your cat's royal journey is nothing short of a whisker-twitching success.


Here's to smooth moves, content cats, and happily-ever-after naps in their new cat-dom!


Furry Hugs and Royal Purrs,
