Q: How is a Kitten SHIPPED:
Due to our licenses and certifications, we are pleased to offer shipping services to all states within the USA, as well as to Asia and Europe. This allows our Sphynx kittens to find loving homes far and wide. Shipping charges vary depending on the specific destination.
Comprehensive Shipping: Our shipping costs cover a range of essential components, including airfare, a specially designed shipping crate (pet taxi), a comprehensive vet health certificate, and a dedicated kitten care packet. This packet includes a supply of the kitten’s usual food and valuable kitten care information.
Premium Delivery Standards: Our primary shipping method involves a counter-to-counter service, ensuring a seamless and secure journey for our beloved kittens. They travel in a pressurized and temperature-controlled compartment to ensure their comfort throughout the journey. The cost for airline shipping ranges between $150.00 and $200.00, depending on the destination and the respective airline’s regulations. This transparent pricing structure reflects our commitment to providing a smooth and worry-free shipping process for our customers.
At Sphynx Fuzz Peach Cattery, we prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of our Sphynx kittens during transit, ensuring they reach their new homes with the utmost care and consideration.
Specialized Ground Service: You have the option of having your kitten delivered by van right to your doorstep using a Pet Transport service. This service delivers to all destinations within the continental U.K., and costs vary based on distance and location. It is the most expensive option for kitten delivery.
Ways to Receive Your Kitten:
Flight Nanny Delivery: Most of our kittens are delivered out of state using professional flight nannies. The flight nanny travels safely in-cabin with the kitten and will hand-deliver your kitten to your nearest airport or bring them to your designated home address. Professional flight nanny services start at $155 – $250, arranged directly between you and the transportation company. We will refer you to our preferred, trusted companies.
Airport Pickup: If you live out of state, you can fly to us to pick up your kitten in person at the Tallahassee Florida International Airport. I love meeting our adopters and would be happy to drive your kitten to the airport, a 2-hour round trip for me, free of charge.
Local Pickup: If you live in our state or nearby, you can come to our cattery to pick up your kitten. Alternatively, I can bring your kitten to your home. Please note that we offer cattery visiting hours by appointment only. Our homeowner’s insurance does not cover in-home cattery visits, and we aim to minimize the risk of infectious disease transmission to our cats and kittens. Thank you for respecting this decision.
Q: Ensuring Comfortable Transitions
At Sphynx Fuzz Peach Cattery, we understand that transitioning a kitten to a new home can be a delicate process. To ensure a smooth and comfortable transition for both the kitten and the new family, we focus on a few key aspects:
Preparation: Before the journey, we make sure the kitten is well-prepared. This includes attaching detailed feeding instructions to the crate and providing frozen water that gradually thaws to keep the kitten hydrated.
Comfort: Inside the crate, we create a cozy environment with a fluffy bed of shredded newspapers, a pig’s ear chew (a favorite among kittens), and a toy or sock carrying our scent to provide reassurance and security.
Monitoring: We maintain constant communication with airlines, tracking exact flight schedules and any potential delays. This allows us to keep you informed and ensure the kitten arrives smoothly on the same day of departure.
Health: We prioritize the kitten’s health by ensuring they are up-to-date on all vaccinations and health checks. This includes a comprehensive vet health certificate that accompanies each kitten during transit.
Communication: We keep the new family informed throughout the process, providing updates on the kitten’s journey and arrival time. This transparency helps reduce any anxiety and ensures a positive experience for all parties involved.
Our commitment is not just to the well-being of our kittens but also to ensuring they have a stress-free and comfortable journey as they embark on their new chapter with your family.

Health Certificate and Arrival Procedures
Ensuring the health and safety of our kittens during transit is our top priority. All pets traveling via air require a health certificate to comply with airline regulations. This certificate guarantees that each pet travels in an environment free from any health concerns, ensuring a safe journey for your new companion.
Upon your kitten’s arrival, we kindly request your presence either at home or at the airport at the specified time. Typically, your kitten becomes available for pick-up approximately one hour after the scheduled flight arrival. To collect your kitten, a valid ID such as a driver’s license is necessary.
We greatly appreciate your confirmation of your kitten’s safe arrival at their new home. Kindly notify us via call or email once your kitten is in your care. Additionally, within 48 hours of arrival, we strongly advise scheduling a health check-up for your kitten with your veterinarian. This standard practice ensures the well-being of your new family member and helps in their seamless transition.
To guarantee your satisfaction and address any queries, we initiate a follow-up call 24 hours after your kitten’s arrival. This call serves to ensure that everything is in perfect order, to answer any questions you might have, and to measure your overall satisfaction with your new kitten’s well-being.
