Where is the cat now? Are you adopting a new-to-you animal? If so, the agency should give you a box to take her home in. If not, get a carrier that is big enough to allow for future growth and place something familiar of yours into the cage.
When I transport my cat, she goes into a rage when she goes in the carrier, but if I put a shirt I haven't washed yet in with her, she's the calmest cat I've ever seen.

How far is the travel? Safest way would be in a cage or box. I've had a kitten jump on the dash while driving.
i rescued a cat once from my evil aunt. damn cat ran under the brake pedal lol. i got stopped eventually, got out and found a cardboard box behind a store. kitty came home in a bud case
We transported a young cat (not kitten) home in a van once, and it managed to climb up into the dash. Had to pull the radio and ducting out to get it out.
