Your kitten departs from the airport closest to us on American, United, or Continental Airline’s Pet-Safe, to your nearest airport. He/she travels in a climate-controlled cabin area for pets, in an airline-approved carrier. Ahead of time, you will have a flight #, arrival time, and a reference # that identifies your kitten. We make all the arrangements for you, and you pick your kitten up at the airport with ease just like picking up a person & you will need a reference/airbill number. Shipping is totally safe & stress free on the kitten. You will receive kitten within 5-6 hours same day after shipping depending on your location. kittens on planes are as safe as you or I flying. I have shipped cats for over a decade than now. I always try to ship direct non stop when flying kittens and adults. In my experience and opinion, my kittens are very comfortable and the new owners tell me that their new kitten has arrived happy and not at all stressed.

We ship our kittens using airlines because it is the fastest & safest way to transport our kittens from our place to yours especially if you live far away or in another state. Our kittens are shipped in an airline-approved plastic pet kennel that we customize depending on the weight of the kitten, the distance or duration of the journey. They ride in a special climate controlled & pressurized compartment on the plane which is no difference from the cabin. They are not in the same compartment as the passenger luggage.

Our shipping crates are clearly marked with colorful “LIVE ANIMALS” and “UP” stickers. We mark the crates clearly with the destination airport, the confirmation number, the phone & address of the customer. When we know that a kitten is going to be shipped, we play with them in the crate prior to shipping so they are used to it. They have never shown fear of the crate. We put lots of food & plenty of water in the shipping crate. The water provide all the moisture the kitten need during delivery. One reason we do this is in case, in the unlikely event the kitten should get stuck at an airport overnight (because of connecting flight trouble), we don’t have to worry if they have enough to eat or drink. Although traveling is not that hard on them, we do not like to make them spend any more time than absolutely necessary in transit. For this reason we also look for the shortest route & always schedule direct flights if possible.

We check weather conditions at the receiving end to make sure that our kitten arrives at their final destinations safely. At Elenor Maine Coon, our kitten health is our priority. Therefore, we fight for its safety and well-being before any other considerations. We do not ship when we feel it could be dangerous to the kittens’ well-being. We do our shipping from Mondays to Sundays. We guarantee the safe & healthy arrival of your kitten. We WILL NOT SHIP if we feel that weather conditions are hazardous and can nit favor the kitten. Your kitten may take few days to adjust once they get to their new homes, sometimes it takes them a day or two to settle in, but by far, the vast majority of people tell us they just step right out of the shipping crate & act right at home.
