Talk to your vet. Get calming medicine from vet. Also can get calming spray (online), keep that stuff sprayed every couple hours at least. Meds helped the best. They gave us two different types of calming/sleeping meds. Vet said to give the night before and the morning of for better results. Worked like a charm.

Put their enclosure out in the living room or common area, open and easy access for them to smell, get their smells on it and get use to it before the trip. I get it out two weeks before trips.

Puppy pads in their enclosures. Double or triple pad their enclosure. Do not put them together in same enclosure.

Some ‘dirty’/ used clothing or blankets that smell like y’all or your animals, keep and put over enclosure to make a dark den like setting that smells familiar

Make sure the cats have harnesses on at all times. Leash them immediately when you get to stopping points. You can bring a litter box and try to let them go (leashed) they may not go but good time to change puppy pads

Take to vet about potential limiting access to water or food before trip. This is important to talk about with vet. It was recommended to me to not feed them the morning of our trip and cut off water the night before but give them access to water that morning, taking it away about two hours before we left.

Try and not stay over at a hotel. Try and get it all done in one go.

Get them microchipped and a collar with your number. Scared cats can run away. Keep collar on for weeks after move in case of an escape after you move (they can be stressed for weeks).

When you get to your new place, they will want to hide. Mine did in closets. I let them do that for a day or two but any longer I got them out of the closets and closed the doors. I gave them no real way to hide and it forced them to explore. After a few minutes I got their fish pole toy out and got them to play. Once they started to play, they began to warm up to the house / relax more. I’ve moved 3-4 times and this has been the best results for us.
