Bringing Your Maine Coon Home, Safely & Comfortably
At Pawzilla Maine Coons, our goal is to make bringing your kitten home a smooth and stress-free experience. Whether you plan to visit us in person or arrange professional transport, we’ll help you understand your options and connect you with trusted services.
🏡 Local Pick-Up (Preferred Option)
You’re always welcome to pick up your kitten in person from our cattery. This gives you a chance to meet us and ask any final questions.
We are located right outside of Raleigh, NC. Pickup times will be scheduled by appointment only.
✅ Benefits:
Meet your kitten face-to-face
Receive your kitten’s health records, go-home care kit, and instructions directly from us
No additional costs
🚚 Ground Transportation (Most Popular Option)
Ground delivery is a great choice for families who prefer their kitten to travel safely and comfortably without flying. This option is available throughout the United States and, in some cases, to select areas in Canada.
We work closely with trusted, pet couriers who specialize in hand-delivering kittens right to your door. These transporters provide temperature-controlled vehicles, regular feeding and care stops, and gentle one-on-one handling throughout the entire trip.
Pricing for ground transport typically ranges from $550 to $1,000, depending on your location, distance from our cattery, and the individual courier’s route and schedule.
While you’ll be responsible for booking and paying your transporter directly, we’re more than happy to share contact information for the couriers our families have used successfully. Over the years, we’ve had nothing but excellent experiences with these professionals. They treat our kittens with the same care and attention that we do.
🕒 Note: Ground transporters operate on set routes and schedules, so timing may vary depending on when they’ll be in your area. We’ll coordinate closely with you and your chosen transporter to ensure your kitten’s travel is smooth, safe, and well-organized.
✈️ Flight Nanny Service
For families located farther away, using a professional flight nanny is one of the safest and least stressful travel options for your kitten. With this method, your kitten travels in-cabin with a trusted flight nanny and is personally handed off to you at your nearest major airport.
Flight nanny services are available throughout the continental U.S., typically ranging from $615 to $1,000, and international delivery is also available upon request. Pricing depends on flight routes and current airfare rates, but we’ll help connect you with reliable and experienced nannies we’ve personally worked with and trust.
This option is ideal for kittens traveling long distances since they reach their new homes within just a few hours of leaving our cattery, minimizing stress and ensuring a smooth transition.
🤍 Benefits of Flight Nanny Transport:
In-cabin travel, always under direct care
Real-time updates and flight tracking
Quick arrival, usually the same day
Experienced, animal-loving transport professionals
We’ve had wonderful experiences with every flight nanny we’ve partnered with and are happy to guide you through the process or connect you with trusted transporters who serve your area.
🧳 Meet at the Airport (Raleigh–Durham International)
For families who prefer to fly in and pick up their kitten personally, we offer a Meet at the Airport option. We will meet you at Raleigh–Durham International Airport (RDU) and hand-deliver your kitten to you inside the terminal.
This option is ideal for buyers who want to minimize travel time while still meeting their kitten in person. It’s a convenient middle ground between local pickup and flight nanny delivery.
A $50 fee applies for this service to cover travel time and expenses to and from the airport. We’ll coordinate your arrival time in advance to ensure a smooth and stress-free handoff.
“We love meeting our families in person whenever possible — it’s always special to hand-deliver your Maine Coon and see the excitement firsthand!”
