Cats were put in danger
Very bad experience, do not trust the reviews. Company allows dishonest and dangerous people to work for them as drivers. Our driver lied constantly, never updated us about the progress of the transport, put our cats with dogs in a tiny van even after i specifically asked if there would be other pets. Worst of all, our cats weren't fed or watered properly over the course of 4 days and both have lost a few pounds. After contacting Citizenshipper about this, nothing was done, the driver is still allowed to work for them. I want to warn other pet owners, do not fall for reviews and please try to find a different way to ship your pets. The drivers name is Donald Wells with TCE Xpress.
