Do you live far away? I have a few options below for travel and kitten delivery.

FLIGHT NANNY SERVICES: I use Jet Pet Pals or SkyPetz LLC Flight Nanny Services to personally fly the kitten to your nearest airport, and the kitten stays with the flight nanny the entire time. Please note the price and delivery differences between the two flight nanny services. You choose which flight nanny service works best for you.
With Jet Pet Pals, the flight nanny flies standby, so you need to be flexible on the pick-up dates/times because occasionally the first or second delivery date needs adjusted if there are no open standby seats to COS. Jet Pet Pals charges a flat flight nanny fee of $550 for one kitten or $750 for two kittens (paid to Jet Pet Pals).
With SkyPetz LLC, you pay for the plane ticket (or use miles if you have them) for the flight nanny. The plane ticket covers the flight nanny getting to me at COS, then getting to your location, and then getting the flight nanny back home AND you also pay a $600 delivery fee (paid directly to SkyPetz llc). With SkyPetz, your kitten will be delivered on the date you prefer. This option is a little more expensive but guarantees a timely delivery vs when a flight nanny flies standby.
PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONAL FEES THAT ARE SENT TO ME: You also send me $50 for the flight carrier, and a small litter box in case the flight nanny is delayed. These items are yours to keep upon delivery of your kitten . With either option, you will meet the flight nanny at your chosen airport for the kitten pick-up. FYI: I meet the flight nanny at COS airport which is not far from my home (about 10 minutes). HOWEVER, if the flight nanny can't get seats to COS and has to fly into DEN airport, I add $50 fee that is sent to me for gas/miles. It will need sent via paypal, venmo, or zelle. The drive to Denver is a 180 mile roundtrip for me. It is the responsibility of the client to get their kitten from me, I am one person and can't be everywhere at once, so clients come to me or setup a flight that works with my schedule.
You can follow Jet Pet Pals on Instagram and Facebook and you can follow SkyPetz LLC on Instagram. FYI: Tipping, it is also customary to tip the flight nanny in addition to the flight nanny fee, and I always tip the nanny but you should too. This is a very time-consuming process for the flight nanny to get to my location, then to your location, and then to get back home. I am very appreciative of this service as are my past clients, since I can no longer fly the kittens myself (I was my own flight nanny for nine years).
YOU FLY TO COS AND PICK UP YOUR KITTEN: I'll meet you at the airport or a hotel if you get one with your kitten. This is a beautiful area if you want to make it a kitten pick-up and mini-vacation. We have mild winters, lots of things for visitors to do, and it's absolutely beautiful. If you choose this option, then I need to explain to you exactly what you need to do if you are not familiar with flying with a pet. I am a very seasoned traveler with pets and can help the process go as smoothly as possible for you and your kitten.
The families who have selected these flight nanny options have been very happy.

I do NOT Ship kittens and here is why... SHIPPING KITTENS is not the same as flying with the kitten in the cabin which is how my flight nanny's travel with the kitten. Breeders who SHIP kittens are sending them in the cargo hold with the luggage and they charge anywhere from $450 to $650 or more. The kitten is shipped in the cargo hold with no caretaker available and no one to be accountable for any issues once you pick up your kitten at the airport. How does shipping a kitten work? Kittens are checked in at the airport luggage drop and they are then treated as luggage and travel with the luggage--not with people. They sit outside on the loud tarmac waiting to be loaded before the flight with the luggage. During the flight the kitten is literally in the bowels of the plane and these flights can be anywhere from 6 to 18 hours (direct flights are dangerous enough however connecting flights hold even more risk). The plane is only temperature controlled while in flight. It gets very hot and can be very cold between flights and while waiting for the plane to take off. The sound of the plane is deafening/frightening in the cargo hold, sitting on the tarmac waiting to be loaded is also dangerous and if there is a delayed flight or mechanical issue the kitten has no one there as they wait in the bowel of the plane or on the tarmac not to mention temperature fluctuation risks. The breeder is also not at the airport to meet you in order to be accountable if there is an issue once the kitten arrives or if the kitten fails to arrive at all or if it is the wrong kitten. Lastly, I want to meet ALL of the families in person when possible or my flight nanny to meet them. With a flight nanny, the kitten is under their constant care and they remain in their care the entire time.
