✈️ Shipping & Delivery

At Highland Maine Coon, the health, safety, and comfort of our kittens always come first. While we love when families pick up their kittens in person, we understand that many of our adopters live across the U.S. and internationally — which is why we offer safe, reliable, and stress-free delivery options.

🐾 Pickup in Person (Preferred Option)

Families are always welcome to pick up their kitten directly from us. This option allows you to:

  • Meet us in person

  • See the environment where your kitten was raised

  • Receive all paperwork and supplies directly

  • Get guidance and support before heading home

We’ll schedule a pickup appointment once your kitten is ready to join your family.

✈️ Airline Pet Nanny Service (Most Popular Option)

We work with trusted, professional pet nannies who personally escort your kitten in-cabin on a commercial flight — never in cargo. Your kitten is cared for and supervised from takeoff to arrival.

This option includes:

  • Delivery to most major U.S. airports

  • Hand-to-hand delivery at the airport arrival area

  • Real-time updates and photos during travel

  • A safe and comfortable experience for long-distance families

🚗 Ground Transport (Limited Availability)

Ground delivery may be available in select regions depending on scheduling.
Please contact us to confirm availability for your location.
