Cat Small

How do I go about transporting my small cat and puppy across 4 states, fast, easy and cheap?

I am moving to Nebraska. I live in Oregon. My 2 friends and I are moving on October 4th 2007. My friends have a small cat and a puppy. We are not leaving them behind. We have our tickets all reserved. We are taking a Greyhound bus. We thought about Trains but no train goes from Portland to Scottsbluff. It will take you to Sacramento Cali and than to Scottsbluff. But that would cost over $1000 for the 3 of us. Where as the greyhound will take us from Portland to Scottsbluff for like $200 total for the 3 of us. That is a huge difference. My question is How can we move the animals to Scottsbluff With out breaking the bank. Any information or suggestions would be very appreciated. Thank you. Cassie

from the greyhound website
No dogs, cats, birds, or other animals will be transported. However, a service animal, trained for the purpose of accompanying a disabled person, will be permitted to travel with the disabled person at no additional charge.
Amtrak doesnt allow pets either
