Kitten Transport

Over the years, we have safely exported our kittens to many countries worldwide. The well-being of our cats is always our highest priority, and we only offer international transport because we have had consistently positive experiences.

Countries We Export To

We regularly export to:

  • All European countries

  • USA & Canada

  • Singapore

  • Others: Hong Kong, UAE (Dubai), Thailand, Philippines, South Africa, Australia & New Zealand

 

Due to strict import regulations, we currently do not export to:

  • India

  • Russia

  • Mainland China (Hong Kong excluded)

  • Others: Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia

 

How Does the Import Process Work?

In most cases, there is very little for you to arrange yourself. If an import permit is required, we will guide you through the process. Import permits are typically needed for countries such as Singapore, and Hong Kong, while destinations such as Europe, the USA, and Canada do not require them.

We take care of all necessary preparations, including:

  • Vaccinations

  • Microchipping

  • Parasite treatments

  • Veterinary health checks

  • Official veterinary certification and export documents

As a German government-registered cattery, we are fully authorized to prepare and obtain all required travel documentation.

Travel Arrangements

For overseas destinations, kittens typically fly from Frankfurt (2.5 hours from us by car) or Amsterdam (2 hours from us by car) directly to the destination airport. To ensure the shortest possible travel time, only non-stop flights are used. We work with trusted transport agents in both cities to ensure a smooth and safe journey.

Your kitten will travel in a spacious carrier equipped with food, water, a blanket, toys, and additional food for an easy transition. Only temperature-controlled airlines are used.

Upon arrival, you simply bring your ID and collect your kitten at the destination airport.

Transport Within Europe

For European destinations, no transport agent is usually required.

You may:

  • Collect your kitten personally from Düsseldorf Airport

  • Pick up directly from our home

  • Arrange transport by car or train if you live nearby (e.g. Germany, Belgium, or the Netherlands)

If you plan to fly with your kitten, please verify that your airline allows cats in cabin and discuss travel dates with us before booking. On the day of departure, we will meet you at the airport and hand over your kitten along with all necessary documents.

United Kingdom

The UK only permits pet transport by road. We work with trusted and fully licensed transport companies that will deliver your kitten safely and directly to your doorstep.

Estimated Transport Costs

Transport costs vary depending on the destination. The following figures are approximate:

Europe

  • Self-pickup from our home or Düsseldorf airport

  • Flight or road transport: approximately €300–€900
