Below, you will find important information about our shipping options, requirements, and what to expect during the process.
Kitten Shipping Overview We offer shipping for our Maine Coon kittens for families who may not be able to arrange an in-person pickup. This service is available for those who wish to have their kitten delivered directly to their doorstep. We take every precaution to ensure that our kittens are transported safely and comfortably.
Shipping Methods
- Air Travel: We primarily utilize reputable airlines that specialize in pet travel. Our kittens are shipped in airline-approved carriers designed for their safety and comfort. All necessary arrangements will be made to ensure minimal travel time and stress during the journey.
- Ground Transport: For nearby destinations, we may arrange ground transportation. Our trusted drivers are experienced in handling kittens and ensure a safe trip while monitoring the comfort of each cat throughout the journey.
Shipping Process The shipping process is straightforward and involves the following steps:
- Reserve Your Kitten: Once you’ve selected a kitten, contact us to finalize your reservation. A deposit will be required to secure your kitten and begin the shipping process.
- Complete the Required Documentation: We will prepare all necessary documentation for your kitten, including health certificates, vaccination records, and any other paperwork required for travel. This ensures your kitten meets all travel regulations.
- Schedule Shipping: After reserving your kitten and completing the paperwork, we will coordinate shipping arrangements. You will be informed of the travel itinerary, including departure times and arrival details.
- Prepare for Arrival: Prior to your kitten’s arrival, we will provide information on how to prepare your home for your new companion. This includes creating a safe environment, purchasing essential supplies, and establishing a routine.
- Receiving Your Kitten: Depending on the shipping method chosen, you will either pick up your kitten directly from the airport or have them delivered to your home. We will provide complete instructions on what to expect when the kitten arrives.

Health and Safety Assurance The health and safety of our kittens during transport are our top priorities. We take the following precautions to ensure their well-being:
- Vet Check: All kittens are thoroughly examined by a licensed veterinarian before shipping. They receive a health certificate confirming they are fit for travel.
- Comfortable Carriers: Kittens are transported in comfortable and spacious carriers with proper ventilation. We make sure they have enough room to stand, sit, and lie down comfortably.
- Hydration and Feeding: We provide guidelines on when to feed and hydrate your kitten before shipping, ensuring they travel comfortably and arrive in great condition.

Important Considerations
- Travel Restrictions: Please be aware of any travel restrictions or regulations in your area concerning kitten arrivals. Certain states or regions may have specific requirements regarding pet transportation.
- Arrival Date: We will keep you updated on any changes to the arrival date or time, ensuring you are fully informed leading up to your kitten’s arrival.
- Introducing Your Kitten: Once your kitten arrives, allow them time to acclimate to their new environment. Maine Coons are naturally curious and adaptable, but introducing them to their space gradually and spending quality bonding time will help them settle in beautifully.
