idea from Pam.... For those of you with more than one cat....

Barry and I have done 8 cats in 8 carriers to the dentist. Normally, no more than 4 will go to the vet at the same time. And thank heavens for the multiple cat discount!!!!!

I take Rocky and Rumor together (in 2 carriers now because they are so big) and Decker and Moxie together. Ripley, Jazz and Scout usually go alone.

After coming in with all the kittens and mother cat we found last fall my vet set me up for a 10% discount for all my cats - yay! I should have asked about that years ago.

My two in one large carrier add up to almost 30 lbs - THAT'S ENOUGH!

My two in one large carrier add up to almost 30 lbs - THAT'S ENOUGH!

I know that feeling. When I used to be able to put Pooky & Bear together in a carrier it totaled a whopping 34 lbs! They fight now if I try to do that since they are so big (Bear is 17 lbs, his brother Pooky is 13 lbs)

Staci,

I take my cats to Petco vaccination clinics that are held every Saturday from 10-2. It's cheaper, and you're not charged for an office visit.

My Vet does house calls which is great as there no way that I could take even One Found Cat to the Vets on the bus. It just takes too long.
The last mass visit was about 5 years ago when I got 8 Found Ctas to the Vets,
It was a nightmare as Princess had to travel alone. Moose ended up with Precious and Almond Rocca Baton as he was the friendliest.
Joseph got scared and pooed all over Bo Bo when she did not appreciate.
I got 15% off and stares from the people there as we unloaded the 5 Carriers.theycouldnt elieve they were all my Cats!!!

[Don Juan's mom]

I've got two carriers, the small original carrier I got for my first cat, Cardamom, and a larger d*g carrier that was on sale at Petco. Don Juan gets that one. Never occurred to me not to take both cats at once. I put the carriers on the back seat (fewer complaints that way), with seat belts around them.

My vet holds a vaccination clinic two Saturdays a month. Getting to be that time again...

Because both my babies cuddle so much, and the carrier is so huge, I once tried to see if I could have both of them in the carrier at the same time.
If it didn't work I'd have to take both of them to the vet seperately.
BUt they seemed to really enjoy it... or at least took comfort in the fact that the other's friend is there.
So I can take both Clover and Echo to the vet at the same time, because even in one crate (for short periods of time, of course... wouldn't take 'em on a road trip this way) they don't mind it at all. Except being at the vet's in general :P

It depends on what/why we're needing vet visits. Once we had an outbreak of ear-mites. The vet suggested he making a house call since we have so many and this is something that all need to be treated at the same time or you don't get rid of them. Well it turned into a disaster and didn't go as planned. The cats were spooked to no end with the vet and tech in the house and Kevin got clawed to death trying to capture some of them. So we ended up taking 4 to 5 at a time making trips back and forth. What a nightmare. We learned that for the most part when the cats are at the vets in an unfamiliar environment they tend to get more submissive. So with all that said we try and limit to 2 at a time.
