Delivery

To adopt a kitten from Flame Point Cat, you need to email Alyssia in NY at alyssiab@rocketmail.com or call Megan in TX at (940) 231-5895, to inform her that you are serious about adopting a kitten.  After information is exchanged and you both feel comfortable adopting a kitten, you are welcome to send a non-refundable deposit of $250.  Only Postal Money Orders and Cashiers Checks issued issued by a Bank are accepted as payment.  Personal checks are not accepted.  If you are interested in a Himalayan Kitten from the Litters of Spring 2012, then you need  to secure your choice of a kitten by payment of the non-refundable deposit.

Typically, you will receive a Birth Announcement when the kittens are born.  Sometimes, kittens are available sooner.  Keep in mind that these kittens are unique in their training so only 2 to 4 litters will be born in 2012.  Himalayan kittens are born pure white.  As they grow, their points grow in either Cream or Red.  As pointed kittens, it is impossible to determine whether a kitten is a Flame Point (Red) or Cream Point (Red Dilute) until they are older. 

Delivery is NOT included in the price of the kitten.  Two drivers are available to deliver your kitten to your door or a meeting destination.    

Airline Courier Delivery

A professional courier is also available to fly your kitten to you by taking your kitten as "carry on" to put your kitten under her seat.  She will meet you at the nearest airport to you and return.  Costs range from $275 - $440.  Typically, arrangements need to be made 1 - 2 months in advance.

Airline Delivery: Special Cargo

********************************************************

Animals are NEVER placed with luggage.  Kittens are hand carried to make transfers.   Your kitten can be flown to your airport.   Most airlines are wonderful handling kittens, especially Delta Dash.  Kittens are hand carried and never put on conveyor belts.  Most airlines have a designated area where you can pick up your kitten apart from the busy areas of the baggage claim area such as in an office.  Kittens travel as "Special Cargo" which means that they travel in a separate cabin that is pressurized and heated.  I research routes to ensure that your kittens make rapid transfers with minimal delays.  Kittens are also packed up by me with items that bring them the most comfort, usually their training bells and a blanket used by them with their mother.  The approximate cost by the airline is $350 - $425. 

Road Trip Delivery:  Your kitten can be delivered to your home or we can establish a meeting point for a fee.  Each delivery quote is specific to that client.  At a delivery point, you must have a crate, collar and first aid kit as described below. 

Cat Car Care: 

• Every cat must have a crate when traveling by car.  You can hold your kitty AFTER all doors are closed and windows are shut. 

• Every cat must travel with a collar that identifies their destination and person to contact.  Statistically, the main reason that cats are never seen by their owners again is because it escaped from travel and attempted to return to their previous home.

• Monitor your cat for Heat Stroke.  If your cat is lethargic and not alert, panting and weak, something is wrong.  Other HEAT STROKE SYMPTOMS include:  dark gums, a glazed expression, rapid heart beat, panting, clammy paw pad, drooling, diarrhea and/or lack of urine production and/or vomiting. Kitty may seem weak, collapse or have a seizure.  Stop the car.  Pour water on the head of the kitten.  Do not use ice water!  Continue until kitten's head and neck are drenched.  Soak a cloth in the water and wrap on the kitten's head.  Continue until the kitten is alert.  If possible, blow dry the kitten with a hair dryer set on "air only" to increase cooling by evaporation.  A kitten who struggles or cries is always a good sign!  Keep kitten calm and don't encourage it to play.  Follow up with a visit to your vet.

• Prepare a first aid kit for kitty and take instructions with you for emergency care.
