Introduction

Transporting kittens is delicate work. Their immune systems are developing, and they can be easily stressed. Whether shipping a show cat or a family pet, preparation is key for a safe ground journey.

The Right Carrier

Kittens need a cozy, secure carrier. It should be small enough that they don't tumble around but large enough for a small litter box if the trip is long. We recommend hard-sided carriers for maximum safety.

Scent Comfort

Send a blanket that smells like the mother or the littermates. This olfactory comfort is powerful for reducing anxiety in young kittens during their first solo adventure.

Health Checks

Ensure the kitten is weaned and has had their first round of vaccinations. We sanitize our hands and vehicles before handling any kitten to prevent the spread of germs.

Conclusion

Small paws need big protection. Omni Pet Transport provides the gentle, hygienic care your kittens need to arrive healthy and happy.
