Shipping

I was wondering how the kittens are shipped?
Is it better faster to ship rather than coming to get them with the possibility of a long drive back to the new home?
As usual Thanks,
Suzanne

My Keeba was shipped Continental air which I think is the best airline for cat shipping. They did a wonderful job and I got text message set up on my phone to know what was going on. Keeba was up set when I picked him up, but as soon as he came out of the cage he was fine and all purrs.
If I could pick up I would prefer to do so, but sometimes it's just not possible.

I think it depends where the kitten is coming from. I prefer to pick mine up in person, but Zuri was flown via Continental and was fine when she arrived...I would now fly to pick up the kitten if I had to and fly back with it.

I haven't ever had a kitten flown, but isn't it true that they get some nice vet meds to help calm and relax them first? If so that should help ease it a lot. I always worry about potential potty accidents mid flight =/ especially on an 8+ hour flight. I'm sure the breeders here will have more input than I know, just throwing some assumptions out there :)

Well no not sedated, but just like a calming med? not completely knocked out. Maybe that's not the same thing or wrong words I'm using anymore lol. I remember when Alisha got Kronos that he was on some meds when he flew here in October.

IDK - maybe some breeders still do that...many do not...no calming meds, no meds...due to the possibility of respiratory depression risk because of decreased O2 levels.
