Shipping and Delivery
At Milton Cattery , we understand that welcoming a kitten from a distance requires trust, clarity, and reassurance. Our shipping and delivery process is designed with one clear priority, ensuring your kitten arrives healthy, safe, and as stress free as possible. We use approved transport methods, certified carriers, and careful preparation to create a smooth transition from our home to yours.
Your kitten’s comfort and safety always come first.
1. Shipping Options
We offer nationwide and international shipping for families who wish to welcome a Maine Coon kitten regardless of location. All transportation is handled by experienced and vetted professionals who specialize in live animal travel.
Air Cargo Shipping
Air cargo is one of the safest and most commonly used methods for pet transportation. Kittens travel in:
Temperature controlled environments
Pressurized aircraft cabins
Monitored animal specific compartments
Airlines that transport pets follow strict safety regulations to ensure your kitten remains calm, stable, and protected throughout the journey.
Pet Nanny Delivery
For families seeking a more personalized option, we offer pet nanny delivery. A trained pet nanny personally accompanies your kitten from our care directly to you.
This service provides:
Continuous supervision
Gentle handling throughout the journey
Comfort checks at every stage
Feeding and hydration when required
This option allows your kitten to travel with constant human care and attention.
2. Safety and Comfort First
Every kitten is carefully prepared for travel with a calm and gentle routine to reduce stress. We never rush or force travel and only ship kittens that are fully healthy and veterinarian approved.
Your kitten travels with:
A spacious and well ventilated travel crate
A soft blanket with familiar scents from our home
Food and hydration gel for longer journeys
Official veterinary health certificates
A pre travel calming and comfort routine
We will never ship a kitten that is not strong, stable, and cleared by our veterinarian.
3. Pre Shipment Updates
We believe communication builds confidence. Before your kitten begins their journey, you will receive a complete update package that includes:
Recent photos and videos of your kitten
Confirmed travel dates and schedules
Full veterinary documentation
Crate preparation and packing details
Arrival preparation instructions for your home
These updates help you feel connected and prepared before your kitten arrives.
4. Real Time Communication During Transit
Once your kitten is in transit, we remain in contact with you until delivery is complete. You will receive timely updates so you always know:
When your kitten has checked in for travel
When transport has departed
Progress throughout the journey
When your kitten is ready for pickup or delivery
Confirmation of safe arrival
We remain available throughout the process to answer questions and address any concerns.
5. Safe Arrival Commitment
Your peace of mind matters to us. That is why we stand behind a safe arrival commitment.
If your kitten experiences any travel related concerns within the first 48 hours after arrival, you must notify us immediately. We will guide you through next steps, offer professional advice, and provide support in accordance with our policies.
While travel stress is uncommon due to our preparation process, we remain committed to your kitten’s wellbeing and your confidence as a new pet parent.
