Is there a way to put her in the carrier so she won't freak? I hate trips to the vet because every time I have to put her in the carrier, she freaks. Coming home the tech helps me.

Or - put the carrier on end, door end up and open
Pick up Cassie and gently and firmly hold her back legs together, as well as holding her front paws together.
Put her in tail end first, and "thread" her into the carrier!
It's the back legs that create all the trouble.

She'll be fine with warm blankets.Bring extra blankets in case of a pee accident.That we do because sometimes they get nervous and pee....but I wouldn't worry too much.Don't open the car door at all if you have to throw in an extra blanket.She could get loose.Always have the cage door shut and locked if the car door is opened for any reason.
In fact don't open the cage door at all unless you know she's soaked and need a new blanket.She sounds like she's in great hands anyway
Thank You Kim for this wonderful siggy

A lot of cats do better with a top-load carrier. The top is a second door, larger than the front door. You put them in feet first and it's not as scary, and also easier to get those helicopter legs inside.
