Time for the vet visit

So, is this what's like in your house? Getting Chaussettes in to her carrier is an act of subterfuge and luck, but not always. They are so rarely in their carriers they don't associate them with vet visits. We've often been asked how we cope with vet visits. It's really simple. We ask locals for recommendations. We check out the local humane society. If they do pet vaccines, check ups etc we prefer to go to the human society, we always take a donation of a big bag of cat food and pay their fee as well. Humane societies do wonderful (and often heart breaking work) and we try to support them all the time.
We keep all vet, inoculation papers for each cat in a file and take the whole thing with us every time. It's much easier than trying to remember dates etc. We also keep them because they're traveling cats and we could be asked for proof of their rabies or other inoculations at any time. We never have been, but we are prepared. 
When we get to a new place, one of the first things we do is ask about vets, in case we have an emergency. Luckily we haven't needed this advice often but it's essential to know ahead of time just like you do if you live in a house.
Traveling with pets just needs a bit of preparation, find out the rules of wherever you are and follow them. If it says pets must be on a lead, keep your pet on a lead. 
Travel safe  and have fun!
