You said VIA is anti cat. I am not the biggest fan of VIA but they in fact do allow pets. I have brought my Siamese cat on one train trip and it was very good. While you cannot keep your baby with you, they will let you go and see her in the car she is in - and it is not like lacking O2 as in airline cargo holds. And the personnel were wonderful. They all fell in love with her and could not do enough.
So give them a call and try booking a trip to Guelph! Good luck!!
