Transport Policies

Once our Maine Coons have been vetted and loved by our fosters, they are ready to go to their forever homes. Will you help these cats reach their final destination to a loving forever home?

Air Transportation

Maine Coon Rescue will never ship cats via cargo. MCR will when possible be pleased to assist with air transport when the cat is accompanied by someone and physically carried on the airplane. There are several carriers that are considered to be "Airline Approved" (check with your airline carrier) for carry-on of a pet. A "Sherpa" is the best choice for placing the cat under the seat in front of you, as it is not rigid and can conform to the allocated space. A Health Certificate will also be required dated within 10 days of the scheduled flight. Check with your airline carrier for any other requirements. (Please note not all cats are eligible to be transported by air.)

Funding of Transportation

MCR will transport cats within a reasonable distance. The distance is usually determined by the foster. Not every cat is eligible to be transported long distances. There is an $85.00 transport fee that is applied when the adopter is not driving at least half the distance to meet the adopter.
