Shipping Details

At RagaliciousRagdollKittens.com, we prioritize the health, safety, and comfort of our kittens during the shipping process. We understand that adopting a new kitten is a significant decision, and we strive to make the transition to their new home as smooth as possible. Below are the details of our shipping process:

Shipping Process

  1. Pre-Shipping Health Check: Each kitten undergoes a thorough veterinary examination to ensure they are healthy and fit for travel. This includes up-to-date vaccinations, deworming, and a general health check.

  2. Shipping Options:

    • Air Cargo: We primarily use reputable airlines with specialized pet cargo services to ensure the safety and comfort of our kittens. The cargo area is climate-controlled and pressurized.
    • Ground Transportation: For shorter distances, we may offer ground transportation through trusted pet transport services.

  3. Shipping Crate: Each kitten is shipped in a comfortable, secure, and airline-approved pet crate. The crate is equipped with soft bedding, a water supply, and a small amount of food to ensure your kitten’s comfort during transit.

  4. Travel Arrangements: We handle all travel arrangements and scheduling. You will be informed of the flight or transport details, including the expected arrival time and any necessary pickup instructions.

  5. Temperature Considerations: We monitor weather conditions closely to ensure it is safe for your kitten to travel. In cases of extreme weather, we may reschedule shipping to guarantee your kitten’s well-being.

Shipping Costs

The shipping cost is calculated based on the destination, the size of the kitten, and the type of transportation. The cost will be communicated to you at the time of purchase and will include:

  • Airline or ground transport fees
  • Pet crate and bedding
  • Pre-shipping health check and veterinary documentation

Delivery and Pickup

  1. Airport Pickup: If your kitten is shipped by air, you will need to pick them up at the specified airport’s cargo facility. Detailed instructions and location information will be provided.

  2. Home Delivery: For ground transportation, we may be able to offer door-to-door delivery services, depending on your location.

Post-Arrival Care

  1. Initial Settling-In: Allow your kitten some time to adjust to their new environment. Provide a quiet, comfortable space where they can rest and feel safe.

  2. Veterinary Check-Up: Schedule a follow-up veterinary visit within a few days of arrival to confirm your kitten’s health status and establish a care routine.
