Bringing Your Kitten Home
Every Kitten Comes Home in Someone’s Arms
Local pickup, regional delivery, or a flight — always in the cabin, never as cargo.
However Near or Far, They’ll Make It Home
However near or far you are, your kitten will make it home — safely, gently, and in good hands the whole way. Some of our families live right down the road; others are clear across the country. Here are the ways your kitten can come home, so you can choose what feels right for you. Your reservation form asks how you’d like your kitten to come home. Not sure yet? Say so — we’ll narrow it down together well before go-home day.
Aurora kittens join families all across the United States — every option here is domestic, within the U.S. only.

How It Comes Together
Planned Early, Never Rushed
We start planning your kitten’s trip home as soon as your deposit is in, so it’s settled early and never rushed. Your kitten goes home between 13 and 14 weeks old, and we’ll sort out every detail with you in your group text as the day gets closer.
One practical note: for any in-person hand-off — a pickup, a partway meet, or an airport arrival — please bring your own carrier for the ride home. We’ll walk you through exactly what to bring and what to expect in a separate email.
Whichever way your kitten travels, they’ll make the trip with a soft blanket that carries their littermates’ scent, so they feel safe and settled along the way. And however they come to you, they’ll arrive fully vetted, spayed or neutered, with their TICA papers in hand — loved, cared for, and ready to meet you.

Your Kitten’s Ride Home Is the Easy Part
