Choosing Pickup or Delivery

If You Live within Driving Distance of Pasco, WA

Pickup at our In-Home Cattery in Pasco

If you live within driving distance to Pasco WA and would like to come to our in-home cattery, welcome!  We love to meet new ragdoll families!  Please contact us and we will schedule an appointment for you.

For people who live in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, driving to Pasco will usually be your the most economical way to receive your new kitten.  Plus, you can make a road trip adventure out of it and see some of the sights along the way.  A couple of years ago a family from California had t-shirts made with a photo of their new kitten, and took a motor home vacation to drive up to Washington to pickup their ragdoll kitten.  What a fun idea!  Other couples have driven from Nevada, Utah and Arizona for kittens.

Whatever your definition of “driving distance” is, it can be a great road trip experience to come and pick up your beautiful blue-eyed kitten in person.

Delivery Service in the Pacific Northwest

If you live in the Pacific Northwest and would prefer to have your kitten delivered to you, we will be happy to arrange to drive to your area and bring your fluffy soft kitten to you.  We normally arrange to meet at a convenient location in each metro area shown on the map below.  However, we are certainly willing to deliver to other locations that would be more convenient for you.

We can also make arrangements with you do meet you at a location that may be more convenient than the ones shown on the map.  For example, Auburn WA, Pendleton OR, Wenatchee WA, Coeur d’Alene ID, etc.  We will calculate the cost for a specific location you request and anticipate that it would be roughly proportional to the travel distances, but possibly affected by other complicating factors.  Please let us know if you would prefer a different delivery location and we will explore those options with you.

If You Live Outside the Pacific Northwest

Air travel will be needed to pickup or deliver your new ragdoll kitten.  There are three ways we do this:

Fly-in / Fly-out Pickup at the Tri-Cities (Pasco WA) Airport (PSC)

The Tri-Cities Airport in Pasco WA is a small-to-medium sized airport with direct non-stop service from several key locations in the US.

The great thing about this is that airlines fly into Pasco, then turn around and fly back to their origination within an hour.  This is an extremely useful and cost-effective way for you to come to Pasco, pick up your kitten and return home in a 6 or 7 hour total travel time.  This is convenient for you and minimizes travel stress for your new ragdoll kitten.  Fly-in / Fly-out is the most economical way to pick up your new kitty from 10 locations around the country.

Of course, you can certainly fly to Pasco from anywhere in the United States to pick up your kitten.  Delta, United and Alaska are the major airlines serving the Tri-Cities airport, along with smaller airlines Allegiant and Avelo.  This is also more economical than in-person delivery via air travel.  Plus, it is a great way to visit the the beautiful Pacific Northwest.  We will coordinate with you to schedule your pickup to match your travel plans.

PSC is a small airport.  There are 5 gates.  When you get off the plane it will take 1 or 2 minutes at most to walk from the gate and out through the security doors.  We will meet you there.  It will only take 5 minutes or so to give you your new kitten and show you the veterinary papers and contract.  Then, you walk around to the other side of the wall roughly 50 feet away to get back into the very short security line.

If you try to book a round-trip flight, the airline might say “not enough time.”  Instead, book two 1-way flights.  This has worked every time.  Please let us know if you have any questions about fly-in/fly-out.

Personal delivery via Air Travel (in-cabin carry on)

We delivery kittens anywhere in the United States via personal delivery air travel.  Your sweet little ragdoll kitten will be hand-carried on the plane (in-cabin) and delivered to you in person at any airport with commercial airline service.  This delivery method may be needed in some locations during the coldest winter months and hottest summer months.  Hand-carrying a kitten via air travel also makes it possible adapt to flight cancellations and weather delays because we provide continuous care for your new kitten.  

If you prefer hand-carried in person delivery via air travel, please contact us.  We will work with you to schedule the flight to arrive at a date and time that are convenient for you.

Delivery via Air Cargo Shipping

The third way to safely and comfortably deliver ragdoll kittens to you at major airports anywhere in the United States is via air cargo shipping.  See this map showing where our ragdoll kittens now live throughout the country, many of which were shipped via air cargo.

If you would prefer to receive your new kitty via air cargo shipping, please contact us and help determine the closest airport to you that receives air cargo cat shipping.

Please see this page for the full details about how air cargo shipping works.

Delivery to Hawaii

Yes!  We deliver and ship to Hawaii.  It is a very involved and time-consuming process to meet the requirements of the State of Hawaii for bringing a cat to the islands.  If you need shipping or delivery to Hawaii, please contact us to discuss how we handle this.
