✈️ Shipping & Delivery

At HappyCats British Cattery, the health and safety of our kittens always come first. While we prefer in-person pickup whenever possible, we understand that many of our loving families live outside of driving distance. That’s why we offer safe, reliable delivery options across the continental U.S.

🐾 Pickup in Person (Preferred Option)
You're always welcome to pick up your kitten in person at our home. This allows you to meet us, see where your kitten was raised, and receive all supplies and paperwork in person. We’ll schedule a time that works for your family once your kitten is ready to go home.

✈️ Airline Pet Nanny Service (Most Popular)
We partner with trusted, professional pet nannies who personally escort your kitten in-cabin on a commercial flight — never in cargo. Your kitten is kept comfortable, safe, and loved the entire trip.

• Nationwide delivery available

• Hand-delivered at your nearest major airport

• Real-time updates and photos during travel

This is our most recommended delivery option for out-of-state families.

🚗 Ground Delivery (By Special Arrangement)
Ground transportation may be available in limited areas depending on your location. This option is ideal for families within a few states of our cattery. Fees vary based on mileage and transporter availability.

📦 What’s Included with Delivery:
All delivered kittens come with:

• Travel-safe soft carrier

• Veterinary health certificate

• Vaccination records

• Contract & health guarantee

• Sample of current food and litter

• Favorite blanket with mom/sibling scent

🕒 When Will My Kitten Be Ready to Travel?
Kittens are typically ready to go to their new homes between 8–14 weeks of age, after they’ve received age-appropriate vaccinations and a wellness check from our licensed veterinarian. We’ll coordinate delivery in advance to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience for everyone.

🧾 Payment & Shipping Policy

• All balances must be paid in full prior to delivery.

• We will never deliver a kitten without a signed contract and approved application.

• Delivery costs are not included in the price of the kitten.

• We will provide an exact quote once delivery plans are confirmed.

❗️ Important Notes:

• We do not ship internationally at this time.

• Weather or airline delays are rare but possible. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

• We never ship kittens in cargo or unescorted. Your kitten’s comfort and safety are always our top priority.
