Shipping & Delivery Policy
Congratulations on your upcoming adoption of a beautiful Maine Coon kitten! We understand how exciting—and important—it is to bring your new companion home safely and comfortably. To ensure a smooth, low-stress transition for both you and your kitten, we offer several thoughtful and reliable options for pickup or personalized delivery across the United States. Here’s how you can welcome your gentle giant into your family:
1. In-Person Pickup
You’re warmly invited to pick up your Maine Coon kitten directly from our home-based cattery in Pasco, WA—a serene location nestled along the Columbia River. For added convenience, we also offer meet-ups at the nearby Pasco Airport (PSC). Many major U.S. cities offer direct or easy connecting flights to PSC, allowing you to arrive in the morning, collect your kitten, and return home the same day. All pickups require advance scheduling to ensure a calm, unhurried experience for you and your new friend.
2. Hand Delivery by Car
For adopters within the Pacific Northwest or along major driving routes, we provide personal hand delivery by car. This option offers a peaceful, controlled journey for your kitten and allows you the opportunity to meet us face-to-face, ask questions, and receive hands-on care tips. Availability depends on distance, route feasibility, and timing—please reach out early to discuss this heartfelt service.
3. Hand Delivery by Air (In-Cabin Companion)
For families farther away who still desire a personal, gentle arrival experience, we offer nationwide in-cabin hand delivery. We personally accompany your kitten as a carry-on pet on major U.S. airlines—including Delta, United, American, Allegiant, and Avelo—using airline-approved, well-ventilated carriers. Your Maine Coon travels with us in the climate-controlled, pressurized cabin, never in cargo, ensuring maximum comfort, safety, and minimal stress during the flight.
4. Air Cargo Shipping (Temperature-Controlled)
For adopters who prefer a direct shipping solution, we coordinate safe and reliable air cargo transport through trusted airline pet programs that adhere to strict animal welfare standards. These services operate in temperature-regulated, pressurized environments designed specifically for live animals. Your kitten will be monitored throughout the journey and will arrive at your nearest major airport happy, healthy, and ready to meet you.
What’s Included in Every Delivery Method
Up-to-date health certificate issued by our veterinarian
Complete travel documentation (including microchip details and vaccination records)
Real-time updates before, during, and after travel
Guidance on post-arrival care and adjustment
We work closely with each family to select the safest, most comfortable option based on your location, schedule, and your kitten’s temperament—because every Maine Coon deserves a calm, loving start to their forever home.
Please Note: All transportation arrangements and associated fees—whether for pickup, hand delivery, or air shipping—are the responsibility of the adopter. Final delivery method is subject to availability, the kitten’s age and readiness to travel, current airline regulations, and weather conditions. We reserve the right to delay travel if it is not in the best interest of the kitten’s health or well-being.
