Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Travel to Pick Up My Kitten?

Absolutely! You're welcome to travel and pick up your kitten in person. Most airlines don't charge an additional fee for flying with a kitten, aside from the standard personal flight fee. However, some airlines may charge an extra fee for pet travel, so it's best to check with the airline directly.

Does My Kitten Need a Vaccine After Arrival?

No, we do not recommend vaccinating your new kitten within the first 14 days of arrival. Your kitten will already be up-to-date on vaccinations before leaving our care. It's important to let your kitten adjust to their new environment before any additional stress or vaccinations are introduced.

Important: We recommend taking your kitten for a check-up within 48 hours of arrival to ensure their health and well-being. If any health issues are discovered, we will either provide you with a new kitten or issue a refund if no other kitten is available.

Can I Get a Discount?

Yes! If you and a friend purchase two or more kittens at the same time and they travel together on the same flight, we can offer a discount of $100 - $300 off the final price. Please note that this discount is not available for all kittens and breeds, so contact us directly for more information. Shipping will be arranged once the kitten is paid in full, and the sales agreement contract has been signed.
