Before you go to pick up your new kitten, you should decide how you’re going to transport him to his new home. While some people seem to feel that it’s alright to transport a cat in a box, one should realize that not only is it dark and confining, but that a box does not provide good ventilation and can feel very hot and uncomfortable for a kitten, even on a short trip. The best method of transporting a new kitten is to purchase a small carrier from your local pet store. Modern carriers provide good ventilation and comfort for your cat, as well as keeping him safe from harm.
Never attempt to bring a cat or kitten home by leaving them loose in the car or by holding them. This is dangerous, not only to him, but to you as well. A frightened cat will often race around the car, scratch, bite, and could conceivably run down in around the brake and gas pedals of the car, not to mention the fact that car rides quite often tend to make them sick to their stomachs.
