Modern Airline Pet Safety Standards
Rest assured, airlines today prioritize pet safety with:
✅ Climate-controlled cargo holds (safe temperature range maintained)
✅ Pressurized cabins (same as passenger areas)
✅ Pilot awareness of live animal shipments
✅ Priority handling for pets to minimize time in transit
Booking Process & Timing
We do not ship kittens under 12 weeks old to ensure they are fully weaned and healthy for travel. Other factors that may affect scheduling:
- Weather restrictions (no shipping in extreme heat/cold)
- Airline embargoes (some restrict pet travel seasonally)
- Veterinary paperwork processing times (for international flights)
Once your kitten’s flight is confirmed, we’ll provide:
✈ Detailed flight itinerary (airline, flight #, arrival time)
📋 Pickup instructions (airport cargo location & required ID)
📞 24/7 support in case of delays or questions
Receiving Your Kitten
At the Airport:
- Bring a valid photo ID matching the reservation name.
- Arrive early to complete paperwork before your kitten lands.
- Have a cat carrier ready for the ride home (we recommend keeping ours for security).
First 24 Hours at Home:
- Offer water & a small meal (we’ll provide transition food).
- Keep them in a quiet, enclosed space (bathroom or small room works well).
- Avoid introducing other pets immediately—let them decompress first.
