At Playful Maine Coons, we know how exciting it is to welcome a new Maine Coon kitten into your family. We are committed to ensuring the shipping and delivery process is smooth, safe, and stress-free for both you and your kitten. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about how we ship Maine Coon kittens across the USA, including our methods, policies, and safety standards.
We offer secure and convenient shipping options to ensure your Maine Coon kitten arrives healthy and comfortable at their new home. Our available methods include:
- Pet-Safe Airlines: We work only with airlines experienced in transporting live animals, following all pet safety regulations.
- In-Cabin Travel: When available, we offer in-cabin travel with a trusted escort, which adds an extra layer of comfort for smaller kittens.
For adopters closer to our cattery, ground transport is a reliable alternative. Kittens travel in a secure, climate-controlled vehicle, accompanied by a trained animal handler.
Shipping fees vary depending on your location, the transport method selected, and whether a travel crate is required. We will provide you with a complete, transparent quote during the adoption process, so there are no hidden costs.
Every kitten shipped from Playful Maine Coons will be provided with an airline-approved travel crate, ensuring their comfort and safety during the journey.
- Proper Sizing: The crate allows your kitten to stand, turn, and lie down comfortably.
- Comfort Features: Soft bedding and a familiar toy are included to ease anxiety during travel.
If you’re picking up your kitten in person, we’re happy to recommend the best travel crate for future use.
All kittens traveling by air are issued a health certificate by a licensed veterinarian. This certificate confirms that the kitten is in good health and cleared for travel. You will receive this along with your adoption paperwork.
- Submit Adoption Application: Begin by filling out our adoption form and getting approved.
- Pay Reservation Deposit: A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your kitten.
- Complete Final Payment: The full balance, including any shipping costs, must be paid before your kitten is shipped.
- Confirm Travel Arrangements: We will share all travel details, including airline information, estimated arrival time, and pickup instructions.
If you’re located nearby, we encourage in-person pickup at our cattery. This minimizes travel stress for your kitten and gives you the chance to meet us and ask any questions in person. At pickup, you’ll receive:
- Your kitten’s health certificate
- Vaccination records
- Care instructions and a helpful starter guide
The safety of our Maine Coon kittens during shipping is extremely important to us. We follow strict safety measures, including:
- Continuous Monitoring during travel
- Climate-Controlled Environments to avoid temperature stress
- Professional Handling by experienced animal transport personnel
