Summarize this article:

Transporting the cat safely to the veterinary hospital requires that you minimize the motion of her head, neck, and spine. Any sudden movement of these body parts could make her injuries much worse. If the cat has a fracture, do you best to provide extra support and stabilization to that injured area. Placing the cat in a large box can also restrict her movement. Cut several holes in the box so you can see her. Place the box in the front passenger seat, or on the floor in front of that seat, to keep an eye on her. Although you should get the cat to a veterinary hospital as soon as possible, you will need to drive carefully. This is not the time to use your lead foot or throw on the brakes! Erratic driving would increase the cat's fear and bewilderment, and possibly make her injuries even worse. Depending on the severity of the cat's injuries, the veterinary team may need to perform extensive care to save her. After giving the team a brief history of the attack, let them go to work on diagnosing and treating the cat's injuries. Because of the emergency situation, they will make a quick assessment of the injuries, then work quickly to stabilize the cat (e.g., intravenous fluids, oxygen supplementation) and treat the most life-threatening injures. Part of that initial assessment will be evaluating the cat's airway, breathing, circulation, and consciousness. In addition to a full physical exam, your veterinarian will perform other diagnostics, such as bloodwork, urinalysis, and chest x-rays. Be aware that emergency veterinary care is expensive. After the cat has recovered enough to be released, you will need to continue treatment at home. Your veterinarian will likely recommend several treatments, including pain medication and antibiotics. You may also be responsible for changing bandages and checking wounds for signs of inflammation (e.g., redness, swelling) or infection (discharge). You will also need to restrict the cat's activity and prevent her from jumping from furniture. The specific type of at-home care will depend on the extent of the cat's injuries. Be sure you fully understand the at-home care instructions before taking the cat home. You may need to schedule a follow-up appointment so the veterinarian can assess your cat's recovery.
Minimize the cat's movement. Drive carefully. Allow the veterinary team to do its job. Follow treatment recommendations.
