Charlie Borland's Stroller Equipments

I have a cat who goes out on a leash with my supervision, goes for bike rides and walks in his stroller. he loves being out. he also likes car rides and going to the petstore. he is fine with most dogs, however does not really like hyper dogs. he also doesn't like strangers. he has anxiety problems.

next sunday, I am taking him to a discount vaccine clinic at petco where he will be updated on his shots and will finally be micro-chipped (the vet was supposed to do it when he was fixed, but didn't. I've been trying to find one of these clinics that actually does cats since then).

I am looking for some sort of calming aid or sedative for him, I feel a 15min car ride with 2 people and a very hyper dog he doesn't know (hopefully my boyfriend will take us in a separate car but not sure) and then being in pet store full of people and hyper doesn't know (the one he goes to is a small local petstore) will just be too much for him.

so any recommendations?
my vet won't even give me advice unless I bring him in for an appointment, if I had the money for that I wouldn't be going to petco to get him micro-chipped and vaccinated in the first place!

There is a product called Feliway, you can spray his carrier with to help calm him. It is cat phermones.

There is also a product called Bach's Rescue Remedy which can be found in most health food stores. A couple of drops should help him. If is safe to use in dogs and cats as well as humans.

   The only thing I can think of that is safe is Rescue Remedy:

   You can buy it in places like Whole Foods Market in the body care and supplements section.

   Do not use any drugs on the cat!

   Besides Rescue Remedy you should completely cover the cat’s carrier with a towel or sheet so it can’t see the dogs or any of the scary, strange activities transpiring about.

   Try to transport the cat in a separate vehicle.

   When you get to the clinic stay as far away from other people and animals as you can.

   If it is a first come, first served clinic get there a few minutes before it is scheduled to begin so your wait will be minimal.

   First of all, take an item of clothing he has been on, or rubbed against and place it in his carrier. This will comfort him. Second, try to cover his carrier with a towel. Out of sight, out of mind. Leave one of his toys inside as well, a distraction will help.
