How do breeders ship kittens?

Buyers should try their hardest to visit the breeder they are going to buy from, even with Covid-19 meeting on an outdoor porch in person is better than sight unseen purchases. But what if you traveling is absolutly not an option? Ask your self can you find what you want locally? If you can not then you’ll need transport options.

If you cant come to the breeder than hopefully the breeder can come to you. This can be flying by plane or driving by car. Typically the breeder charges per mile and per day.


USDA Licensed Transport Company

Recently all airline stopped shipping live animals due to Covid-19. This has caused more transport companies to emerge. However you have to be careful. Most of these companies only offer what is called “stand by” service. Which means they have a date picked and “try” to buy a ticket cheap. This can get complicated and frustrating as nothing is 100% certain the kitten with ship that day or time.

Also referred to as a “pet nanny” service.
