At Precious Home For Paws Kennel, our experienced team makes kitten shipping smooth and stress-free, keeping your new companion safe every step of the way.
We work exclusively with major airlines that operate pressurised, climate-controlled pet compartments — the gold standard in animal air transport. Every flight is carefully chosen for the fastest, safest route to your door.
From the moment your deposit is confirmed to the second your kitten arrives at your nearest airport, our team is with you — sending updates, tracking numbers, and real-time progress reports every step of the way.
A carefully managed process from health check to your arms — every detail handled with professional care.
A licensed veterinarian conducts a comprehensive health examination, including parasite screening, before any travel is confirmed. Your kitten only flies when given a clean bill of health and all required travel documentation is in order.
We partner exclusively with airlines that maintain dedicated Pet Safety Programs — featuring pressurised, climate-controlled pet compartments that meet the highest international standards for live animal transport.
Once your reservation deposit is received, we secure the optimal flight and send you a complete itinerary — including flight times, your AWB (Air Waybill) tracking number, and step-by-step pickup instructions for your nearest airport.
On the day of travel, our trusted delivery agency collects your kitten, ensures they are comfortable and travel-ready, and handles the full airline check-in process. You'll receive both email and phone updates with all flight details as they're confirmed.
We send step-by-step journey updates and live AWB tracking information throughout the flight, so you can monitor your kitten's progress in real time and know exactly when to head to the airport for collection.
Most shipments depart early morning and arrive the same day (within 6–8 hours) or the following morning — provided your kitten is at least 8 weeks old and all required travel documents are complete and approved. Pickup instructions are included in your itinerary.
Every detail of your kitten's in-flight experience is arranged before they leave our care.
Your kitten travels in a fresh, never-used, IATA-approved hard kennel — sized specifically for their breed and age for maximum comfort and safety.
IATA ApprovedThe kennel is fitted with soft, absorbent bedding and includes food and water dishes — keeping your kitten calm, clean, and hydrated throughout the journey.
Comfort ReadyYour kitten is housed in a dedicated, pressurised, temperature-controlled section of the aircraft — completely separate from standard cargo, maintained at a safe, comfortable temperature.
Climate ControlledWhat to expect & when
With proper paperwork and confirmed age requirements, expect your kitten to arrive within 6–8 hours on the same day, or first thing the following morning.
Please allow us a minimum of 2 hours after deposit confirmation to source and secure the safest, fastest available airline tickets for your kitten's journey.
Heat restriction protocol
During hot summer months, airline heat embargoes may limit standard cargo shipping options for live animals. We monitor these restrictions closely and plan accordingly.
When heat restrictions are in effect, a dedicated staff member personally accompanies your kitten on the flight — travelling in an airline-approved soft crate stored under the seat — guaranteeing safe, comfortable arrival at your nearest airport, regardless of the season.
Every aspect of your kitten's journey has been planned to ensure they arrive calm, healthy, and ready to start their new life with you.
Every detail of your kitten's travel environment meets the highest international standards.
Visit a licensed veterinarian within 7 days of receiving your kitten for a health check. This is a mandatory requirement for any refund or health guarantee claim to be considered valid.
Any kennelling fees or costs arising from unexpected flight changes, delays, or cancellations outside our control are the recipient's responsibility. We will always notify you immediately of any changes.
All required health certificates, vaccination records, and import documentation must be fully approved before a flight can be booked. Missing paperwork will delay your shipment — we'll guide you through every requirement.
Once your deposit is confirmed, please allow us at least 2 hours to source, compare, and secure the safest and fastest available flight tickets for your kitten's journey.
We handle every detail with care and professionalism — keeping you connected and informed at every stage. Questions about shipping? We're here to help.
