Shipping is
available,
I'm
going to let you know right away that shipping is pretty high,
I
live in Port Angeles, WA. The only way I can get a kitten to an airport that I
feel comfortable
with is Seattle, this is a 2 1/2 hour drive, one way, making it a 5 hour
drive, plus a ferry ride,
which is expensive. Gas prices here on the peninsula are running $4.50 a
gallon, and rising all the time.
Shipping for the
airline is $149.00 (anywhere in the US, under 9lbs. w/carrier) kitten also has
to have a health
certificate, 10 days prior to flight. I use Continental PetSafe QUICKPAK
program only!!!

My shipping price to ship 1 kitten is $285.00, (for a kitten and carrier
weighing under 9 lbs, if kitten
is older than 13 weeks, this could cost more) this includes... Airfare,
Carrier w/ Airline Approval, Health Certificate, 1st set of shots and rabies
(if kitten is old enough
for
rabies, shot is given from 12 weeks on), and my fees for travel.
Please do not try to lower my shipping price, this is a set fee.

Is
it Safe to Ship a Kitten?
Another question frequently asked is in
regard to the safety of shipping a
kitten. The reason we chose Continental
is because of their excellent
reputation in their care of live
animals. They require food and water to
be
given to the kitten in case of a layover
and, in general, just seem to care
very much for the well-being of our
beloved kittens. I have not had a single
problem using them. As far as how your
kitten will handle the trip,
Persians do very well traveling. One of
the reasons they make such good
show cats is due to the fact that they
simply love new people and noises
and change in general. They truly enjoy
traveling in a car and survive air
flights exceptionally well, arriving
happy and ready for their new home.
It is stressful to them, just as it is
to us when we have to travel, but
overall,
they do extremely well. The thing they
hate the most is being confined to
that darn crate for a few hours and will
usually let you know just how they
feel about their confinement. Because
they may arrive feeling some stress,
