Plan Your Kitten’s Arrival

Welcome to the next exciting phase of your adoption journey! Now that your match has been confirmed and your details have been reviewed, it’s time to prepare for the moment you welcome your new kitten home. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step—ensuring you feel confident, informed, and fully prepared for this joyful transition.

What Happens Next?

After our Adoption Specialists review your questionnaire responses, they’ll contact you—typically within 24 to 48 hours—to discuss the details and answer any questions you may have. This conversation is designed to confirm your preferred arrival method and ensure that every aspect of your environment and lifestyle is taken into account.

Arrival Options

We offer several delivery methods tailored to your needs:

• Local Pick-Up:
  If you prefer to meet your kitten in person, we’ll arrange a convenient time and place for you to pick up your new family member. You’ll receive all the necessary paperwork and health records upon arrival.

• Ground Delivery:
  For those within a manageable distance, ground delivery provides a safe, climate-controlled journey for your kitten. Our team will coordinate the schedule and ensure that every detail—from transportation to timely stops—is handled with care.

• Air Delivery:
  When time is of the essence, air delivery is available. Your kitten will travel in a secure, climate-controlled carrier. Please identify the closest airport or cargo station to your location, as this will be the collection point. Our team will work closely with you to coordinate every detail of the flight.

• Flight Nanny Service:
  For extra peace of mind, consider our Flight Nanny Service. A dedicated caregiver accompanies your kitten during air travel, ensuring personalized care from departure to arrival.

Preparing Your Home

A welcoming environment is key to a smooth transition. Here are some essential steps to prepare:

• Create a Safe Space:
  Designate a quiet, comfortable area where your kitten can settle. This might include a cozy bed, litter box, toys, and a feeding station. We’ll provide a checklist with expert tips to ensure your home is fully kitten-proofed.

• Gather Essential Supplies:
  Stock up on quality cat food, grooming tools, and any other supplies recommended by our Adoption Specialists. A well-prepared home means less stress for you and your new kitten.

• Plan for Local Support:
  If you’re opting for air delivery, identify the nearest airport or cargo station. For ground delivery or pick-up, ensure you have reliable transportation arranged.

On the Day of Arrival

Your kitten’s arrival is a moment to cherish! Here’s what to expect during the handover process:

• Document Review:
  You’ll be presented with important documents—including the USDA Record of Cats and Dogs Disposition Form, our Non-Breeding Agreement, and your kitten’s vaccination and health records. Take a moment to review these details carefully.

• Payment & Confirmation:
  If you’re picking up your kitten, you can finalize any remaining payments on-site. For delivery options, ensure all charges have been settled in advance. This streamlines the process and allows you to focus on the joy of the moment.

• Capture the Moment:
  We invite you to take a photo with your new kitten during handover. These snapshots are more than just memories—they’re part of the story that connects our Purebred Kitties family.

Post-Arrival: The First 72 Hours

The first three days with your new kitten are crucial for a smooth adjustment. Here’s how to make the most of this period:

• Health & Comfort Check:
  Within the first 72 hours, carefully observe your kitten’s behavior, appetite, and overall health. Look for signs of stress or discomfort, and ensure they are adapting well to their new environment. We require that you schedule an appointment with your veterinarian within the first few days to confirm that your new family member is settling in smoothly and to address any concerns early on.
  

• Follow-Up Call:
  Our team will follow up with you within three days of the arrival to ensure everything is going well. If you notice any issues or have questions, please contact us immediately. This check-in helps address any concerns early on, ensuring your kitten’s well-being and your peace of mind.

• Document Any Observations:
  Keep a brief note of any changes or concerns during this period. This information is valuable for our records and helps us provide better post-adoption support.
