Problem with the plane is #1, my city airport is municipal and not international, so a direct flight will cost about $800 a ticket, and I'd still have to fly back a second time to move all of my belongings. #2, airlines won't deal with an animal that's fussy. If it's yowling, hissing, scratching, or biting, they just won't allow it to be on the plane.
I found a service that will move her for $600, but that's like a whole month's pay for me.
Well, as for the belongings, I would surface mail as much as I can over to my new place (you are moving house right? Sorry if I sound a bit stupid because I haven't been on LJ much to catch up on posts X_X) but for some odd reason, mail there seems to be really expensive o_O;;;
If the airplane's not an option, I'm afraid you'll really have to skip A-con and go straight to your destination to get your kitty settled down x.x' That seems to me, like a cheaper option. As for the two nights in a hotel to get to Tuscon part, this might sound strange but can one of you sleep in the hotel room and the other one sleep in the car with the kitty? o_o'
From what I'm reading here, I'm sorry to say but A-con really really shouldn't be on your list of priorities here when you have Cookie who reacts the same way as my kitty Leo x.x'
Unfortunately I can't just skip A-kon either since it is part of my job. =/ If it was just a matter of having a fun time, then I'd skip it. But by not opening my shop, I'm out anywhere from $800 to $1200 of money I could really really use right now

X_X I think moving the cat + as much things as you can to Tuscon early is the only option here. It's safer then staying in the hotel and worrying about the cat coping in the hotel x.x'''''
XD We must think very alike. I considered both of those things. Unfortunately I can't run a yardsale at the apartments where I live now. Kickstarter is particular, you have to have a business plan of sorts for your goal. They have specific rules about raising personal funds like rent and stuff, you also can't use it for charities either.
I did start a chip-in and I made $300 that way, but money like that doesn't go as far as it used to when I lived with my parents.
I'd rather you pick her up on the plane because that'll save your A-Con experience from being ruined or if push comes to shove, skip A-con.

Do a garage sale and start a kickstarter?
