He also needs to make sure this move is not occuring during the USDA
imposed no fly embargo for live animals - this is a weather and
temperature related prohibition on flying animals.

The point is probably moot anyway. I'm not sure any US airline will allow a
passenger to fly with 5 cats, even if they're all in cargo. Airlines have
restrictions on the number of pets they'll carry on their flights, and on
the number of pets per passenger they'll ship.

The OP needs to be checking with individual airlines to see if flying 5 cats
per 1 passenger is even an option.

In addition, new legislation regarding airline reporting of pet deaths was
just passed last week, and it's expected to make the airlines become even
more stringent about shipping pets.
