We ship all of our cats via Delta Airlines. All of our cats are shipped with a bag of food, a free custom made cozie or crate pad (depending on outside temperatures) and will follow the strict guidelines set by Delta Airlines – NO EXCEPTIONS.
Blow I’ve noted some of the frequently asked about terms regarding shipping from Delta’s website.
