Shipping Process
Safe and Reliable Transport for Your New Kitten
Our Shipping Process
We understand that welcoming a new kitten into your home is a significant and exciting step. While we primarily focus on local adoptions, we believe in making it as easy as possible for families across the country to find their perfect feline companion. Our shipping process is designed to ensure the safe and comfortable transport of your new Maine Coon kitten to your home.
1. Shipping Options
We offer a few different shipping options tailored to your needs:
Ground Transportation: For nearby areas, we use trusted ground transport services to ensure that your kitten travels safely. This option allows them to experience less stress compared to long journeys.
Air Transportation: For families further away, we primarily use air transportation through reputable pet shipping companies. This option allows for quicker transit times while ensuring your kitten’s safety and comfort.
2. Booking Your Shipping
Once your adoption application is approved and you have finalized the adoption process, we will discuss shipping arrangements:
Timing: We will coordinate a suitable shipping date that works for you. We always consider the best time for travel to minimize stress for your kitten.
Costs: Shipping fees depend on the method chosen and the distance involved. We will provide a clear breakdown of the shipping costs before proceeding.
Preparing for Your Kitten’s Journey
To ensure your kitten has a safe and comfortable trip, we take the following steps:
1. Health and Comfort Checks
Before shipping, our team will conduct a final health check to ensure your kitten is fit for travel. We will also provide a health certificate, confirming that your kitten is healthy and ready for transport.
2. Secure Transportation
We use high-quality pet carriers that are comfortable and secure for your kitten during their journey. Each carrier is well-ventilated, spacious, and equipped with soft bedding to make the trip as pleasant as possible.
3. Travel Preparations
Before your kitten departs, we will provide you with:
Feeding Guidelines: We recommend how to prepare your kitten for their journey, including feeding schedules and what to do once they arrive.
Emergency Contact Information: You will receive our contact details, as well as information for the shipping company in case you have any questions during the journey.
What to Expect Upon Arrival
Our Therapy Process
When your kitten arrives, here’s what you can anticipate:
1. Welcoming Your Kitten Home
Inspect the Carrier: Upon receiving your kitten, check the carrier for any signs of distress or discomfort.
Room Setup: Have a quiet and comforting space prepared for them to explore once they are out of the carrier.
2. Initial Transition
Give Space: Allow your new kitten a moment to acclimate to their new environment. It’s natural for them to be a bit shy or hesitant at first.
Gradual Introduction: If you have other pets, introduce them gradually to ensure a smooth transition for everyone.
