SHIPPING & DELIVERY
For the welfare of our Maine coon kittens, we do NOT allow our kittens to go to their new homes until a minimum of 8 weeks old. In rare cases, we may keep the kittens until 9 or 10 weeks if we feel they are not ready for their new home yet. We will only ship a kitten according to how the kitten is developing. We want you to receive an extremely happy and without any health issues Maine coon kitten. Our vet will have the final say as to when the Maine coon kitten is ready to travel.
Shipping and air delivery are available upon request. If you live far away and are not willing to pick your kitten up, we can safely ship your kitten via airplane. Your Maine coon will be delivered (shipped) on an agreed date, once the full purchase price is paid. Our Maine coon kittens may be shipped Nationwide. The shipping fee may vary depending on location and is additional to the price of the kitten. Other fees may be incurred depending on shipping arrangements made. All costs will be determined at the time of adoption.
With our experience in shipping our Maine coon kittens, we know for a fact that all kittens are always well taken care of, upon transportation to their new owners. We have only had a couple of incidences where some of our kittens had delayed flights or had some minor problems due to a long flight. Measures have been taken to ensure our Maine coon kittens are transported in the best and most favorable conditions so they get to their new owners in a perfect health state.
For delivery, Fluffy paws Maine coon Kittens home uses the safest method to unite you with your new Maine coon. Our staff consists of Kitten Nannies, which will fly to wherever you may reside domestically within the United States and Canada.
There are three methods to get your new pet (family member) home.
​
​
1) PICK-UP
​
You are more than welcome to drive here and pick up your kitten or meet us at a designated location within a 120-mile radius of our home.
By Car - You are always welcome to drive to our home and pick up your new Maine coon after making the reservation deposit or complete purchase. We actually prefer when you can personally pick up your kitten whether you travel by car or airline. But we also understand that this is not always possible.
By Airlines - If you wish to fly to pick up your Maine coon we can meet you at the ticket counter with your new kitten after making the reservation deposit or complete purchase. We can also pick you up at the airport and bring you to our home to pick up your kitten. For those of you with frequent flyer miles, this might be the least expensive way to pick up your kitten. The airlines will charge a small extra fee for this service.
2) AIR TRANSPORTATION
​
We have shipped many of our kittens nationwide to all U.S destinations And Internationally via Approved Pet Transport airlines and are very pleased with the services and care that the kittens have received. Shipping charges vary depending upon location. We use a number of different airlines but be aware that only certain airlines (Domestic only), will ship flat-faced cats during the summer months. The minimum cost of shipping our Maine coon kittens via air depends on where you are located and there is also a Home Delivery (kitten is transported and delivered to your doorstep at your home address) which is available. That is, the kitten is then driven from the airport and delivered to your home/delivery address.
Shipping costs include airfare, the kitten’s shipping crate (pet taxi), vet health certificate and a kitten care packet. The packet includes a bag of kitten food that he/she is accustomed to and kitten care information.
3) GROUND SHIPPING – SHIP BY SPECIALIZED GROUND SERVICE
​
We also have a very reliable, clean, caring Ground Shipper that we trust. If our Airline Nanny Service is not available, we may have to use our Ground Shipper.
You also have the option of having your kitten delivered by van right to your doorstep using a Pet Transport service that delivers to all destinations in the continental U.S. This is the most convenient way to have your kitten delivered to you as the transport agency has well-trained professionals who take good care of the kitten during delivery. This takes a little longer but is necessary at times. This is also the method we use for any kittens or cats over 15 lbs, as that is the weight limit for the Airline Nanny.
Note: After Transport, any paperwork signed will be forwarded back to the shipper. Understand that although Fluffy Paws Maine coon Kittens aids in making shipping arrangements, you are solely responsible for making arrangements to get your baby safely into your possession. The Owner/Receiver of the kitten is responsible for any importation fees, inspection fees, taxes and or duties imposed by your Government. It is the responsibility of the receiver to know if these fees apply and how much they will be, Fluffy Paws Maine coon Kittens can facilitate this process or offer a quote on these fees if applicable.
If you hire your own Shipper, we reserve the right to refuse pickup if the legal paperwork is not in place & most importantly if there are unsanitary conditions or sick animals on the transport vehicle.
If you wish to buy our kittens out of the United States, please contact us so we can give you an estimate of the cost for international shipping.
