No. FedEx’s live-animal shipping policy excludes cats and other named household pets. Its instructions for certain eligible live animals do not create an exception for cats.

What should you arrange instead?

Choose a travel arrangement intended for a cat, with a person or service responsible for the journey. Start by deciding whether you can accompany your cat or need help. The travel-together-or-hire-help guide covers those responsibilities.

Before booking, confirm the carrier, care instructions, pickup and arrival arrangements. If considering a flight, check the operating airline’s pet policy directly.

For a ground journey, CitizenShipper connects owners with independent drivers offering cat transportation. Agree on your cat’s needs with the driver before booking.
