Shipping & Delivery Policy

At Niamhragdoll.com, the safety, comfort, and well-being of our Ragdoll kittens are our top priorities. We carefully plan every delivery to ensure each kitten arrives healthy, calm, and stress-free.

Local Pickup

Local pickup is always welcome and encouraged. This allows you to meet your kitten in person and ensures the smoothest possible transition into their new home.

Domestic Shipping

For families unable to collect in person, we offer safe domestic shipping options within the country.

Shipping is arranged only when:

  • The kitten is a minimum of 10–14 weeks old

  • The kitten is fully weaned, litter trained, and healthy

  • A licensed veterinarian has cleared the kitten for travel

All transportation is handled with care and designed to minimize stress.

Shipping Methods

Depending on location and circumstances, shipping may include:

  • Professional pet transport services

  • Cabin or hand-carried flight arrangements (when available)

  • Ground delivery by trusted pet couriers

We do not ship kittens as cargo. Every method prioritizes safety, comfort, and proper supervision.

Shipping Costs

Shipping fees vary based on:

  • Distance and destination

  • Type of transport required

  • Seasonal travel conditions

All shipping costs are discussed and agreed upon before finalizing adoption. No kitten will be shipped without full payment and confirmation.

Travel Preparation

Before travel, each kitten is:

  • Vet-checked and cleared for transport

  • Placed in a clean, comfortable, airline-approved carrier

  • Provided with appropriate nourishment and hydration

We also supply care instructions to help your kitten settle comfortably upon arrival.

Delivery Timeline

Shipping timelines vary by location and availability. We will provide clear communication regarding departure, transit, and expected arrival times.

Buyer Responsibilities Upon Arrival

The adopter agrees to:

  • Be available to receive the kitten at the agreed time

  • Provide a calm, safe environment upon arrival

  • Schedule a veterinary examination within 7 days of delivery

Shipping Limitations

We reserve the right to delay or cancel shipping if:

  • Weather conditions are unsafe

  • Travel conditions pose a risk to the kitten

  • The kitten’s health or well-being could be compromised

In such cases, delivery will be rescheduled in the kitten’s best interest.

Our Commitment

At Niamhragdoll, we ship kittens with the same care and responsibility we would expect for our own pets. Your kitten’s safety always comes first.
