We are happy to send our babies interstate and overseas to the right homes. As it is unlikely that we will actually get to meet potential new interstate or overseas owners we do require some additional information and may have a few questions to ask you. We like to have at least one phone conversation with interstate and overseas buyers before the sale is finalised.

 

I use a reputable pet transport company to send our kittens interstate.

 

 

Below is a Special Price costing to send a kitten from Sydney to Perth....

 

$130 Flight Cost

Carry box - $49

Delivery to airport - $70

 

 

 

In the past we have sent interstate kittens via Australian Air Express and information on their Pet transport service can be found here: http://www.aae.com.au/services/express_your_pet

 

You may also choose to contact Qantas or Virgin yourself:

 

Traveling with Qantas: 

 

 

 

Sydney Office: (02) 9770 9478 . Eleventh Street, Mascot Airport 

 

 

An example of AAE's costs is as follows:

 

1 kitten (1kg) + a 3kg carry box from Sydney to Mackay - $143. The cost of transport is partially based on the dimensions of the carrybox.

 

You will also need to purchase or hire a crate/carry box. We have a huge range of suitable carry boxes available from about $36. 

 

If you decided to use a pet transport service to pick the kitten up from us and deliver to the airport there are a number of companies that offer this service such as:

 

Porters for Pets - Pet Taxi Service -   0417 374 848. http://www.porters4pets.com.au/ 

The cost of pickup and delivery with this sevice would be approximately $135

 

Alternatively we may be able to deliver to the AAE ourselves and we charge $70 for this service and have selected days and times that this can be arranged for. 

 

You will need to arrange pickup from the arrival destination.

 

Example of total costs:

 

Sydney to Mackay flight - $143

Carry box - $49

Delivery to airport - $70

 

Minimum Total Interstate Transport Costs to Mackay - $262

 

TO MELBOURNE:

 

In May 2011 I sent 2 kittens in the one carry box to Melbourne and the costs were as follows:

 

 

Sydney to Melbourne flight - $120

Carry box - $49

Delivery to airport - $70 

 

 

A: We have sent many kittens interstate and overseas and have never had any problems in doing so.

 

I use a vet that is about half and hour from my house and the kittens usually go to the vet at least twice before going to their new homes so are familiar with travelling in a carry box by the time they leave us. We also leave carry boxes in our kitten room so that the kittens are familir with them anyway.

 

Obviously leaving mum and litter mates is always a little stressful but in our experience the kittens settle into new interstate/O.S homes in about the same timeframe as those kittens that go to local homes. 

 

We ensure that the kittens are made as comfortable as possible for their flight and spend the least amount of time possible in transit.
