Cats and road trip situation here?

Q. I'm unemployed for months and just got out of college so my savings isn't as much as before. I have two sick cats with diarrhea problem that lasted for 2 months and one of them kept pooping and peeing in my and roommate's closets and I always wash them with nature's miracle when i saw spots under strong UV light. His poop looks like clear snot on top of diarrhea blob. He leaks wet poo sometimes. I took him to vet and they're not helping and drain lot of my money for nothing. My aunt offered me for a free vet care by my uncle because he's the manager of his vet hospital and he's a vet. I live in Minneapolis, MN and they live in Joplin, MO which will be 9 hours drive. Is it a good idea to have my two cats in my boyfriend's dog's very large kennel with litter box in it during the trip and stop every 3 hours to check on them and give them breaks? It's better than giving up the most sick cat, wasting ton of money on vet, and my apt is starting to smell like landfill. Advices?!


Answer
You could put the cats in the dog crate with a littler box. Put an old blanket in the crate too for them to lay on. I have traveled with my 14 year old female a few times. She did great being on the road for a long time.

This is what I did before I set out. I filled a few small soda bottles with water and put them in the freezer for 24 hours before my trip. I put a few cans of food in the cooler along with the frozen water bottles. I kept a tupperware container with dry food in it. I kept some paper plates, a fork and a bowl for her water in a bag. I picked up one of those disposable litter pans and kept that in the trunk.

I would stop every few hours and let her drink and get her to eat a little. She was very good about going in the litter box too.

Just try to make pit stops every 3 to 4 hours so you can tend to your kitties. I hope every thing works out and I hope they start feeling better very soon.
