Safe & Certified Pet Transportation

Shipping & Delivery Information

We provide secure, stress-free transportation options to deliver your kitten safely anywhere across the United States and Canada. Every journey is planned with the highest health, safety, and comfort standards.

How Our Delivery Process Works

From veterinary clearance to the moment you hold your new kitten, here is what you can expect.

01

Booking & Veterinary Health Check

Once your kitten is ready and adoption agreements are completed, our licensed veterinarian performs a final pre-travel health examination and issues an official health certificate.

02

Flight & Travel Itinerary Confirmation

We coordinate travel arrangements with trusted pet-friendly airlines or our pet courier, then email you full itinerary details, flight numbers, airway bill, and estimated arrival time.

03

Safe Departure & Real-Time Tracking

Your kitten is carefully placed in their comfortable travel crate with bedding, scent cloth, and hydration. We track the entire journey from check-in to touchdown.

04

Welcoming Your Kitten Home

You meet your kitten at the designated airport cargo facility or customer service counter with your ID, or greet our ground courier at your doorstep.

Airline-approved travel crate (pet taxi) lined with soft, absorbent bedding
Familiar scent blanket from the kitten's mother to provide security and reduce anxiety
Specialized frozen water dish that gradually melts during transit to prevent spills
Nutritious kitten food and complete feeding schedule included
Real-time flight and journey tracking updates communicated directly to you

Required Items at Pickup:

Airlines will only release the kitten to the recipient named on the official airway bill manifest. Please make sure the name provided in your adoption agreement matches the legal photo identification you present at the airport cargo facility.

Frequently Asked Shipping Questions

How much does kitten shipping cost?

Standard airline shipping within the continental U.S. and Canada typically costs between $150 and $300. This fee includes the flight booking, veterinarian-issued health certificate, airline-approved travel crate, and in-transit essentials.

Can two kittens travel together in the same crate?

Yes! Kittens from the same or compatible litters often travel much more comfortably together. When adopting two kittens traveling on the same itinerary, we offer a companion discount of $100 to $300 off shipping costs.

What happens if severe weather delays the flight?

Airlines enforce strict pet-safety temperature thresholds (heat and cold embargoes). If temperatures at either the origin, transfer hub, or destination exceed safe limits, shipping will be rescheduled for the kitten's safety. Your kitten remains safely in our care until conditions are ideal.

When should my kitten visit the vet after arrival?

As outlined in our Health Guarantee, you must take your kitten to a licensed veterinarian within 96 hours of arrival for a baseline health checkup. Please do not administer additional vaccines within the first 14 days, as kittens are fully vaccinated before departure and need time to acclimate.
