Here’s everything you need to know about our shipping process.

Safe and Secure Shipping

The health and well-being of our kittens are paramount. We take every precaution to ensure they are comfortable and safe during their journey to their new homes.

Professional Pet Transport

We partner with reputable pet transport companies that specialize in the safe and humane transportation of animals. These partners are experienced in handling pets and adhere to strict guidelines to provide a stress-free experience.

Direct Delivery

For locations within a certain distance from our cattery, we offer direct delivery services. A staff member from Mira’s Cattery Kittens will personally deliver your new kitten to your doorstep, ensuring they arrive safely and comfortably.

Health and Documentation

• Health Certificate: A health certificate issued by the veterinarian accompanies each kitten, verifying their health status.
• Vaccination Records: We provide copies of all vaccination records and deworming schedules.

Travel Comfort

• Travel Carrier: Each kitten travels in a secure, comfortable carrier that meets regulatory standards.
• Comfort Items: We include familiar items such as a blanket or toy that carry the scent of the cattery to reduce anxiety.
• Hydration and Nutrition: Travel-friendly food and water supplies are provided to keep the kitten hydrated and fed throughout the journey.
