🐾 Travel & Delivery Policy 🚗💨

Can’t make it all the way to our cattery? Don't worry, we’ve got you covered!

Delivery

At AAA CLASS ACT – Shades of Sapphire Ragdolls, we always encourage families to pick up their kitten in person at our home in Lucas, Ohio. Meeting face-to-face gives you the chance to see where your kitten was raised, ask questions, and begin your journey together in the most personal way.

For families who require hand-delivery, the following options are available:

🐾 Local Delivery (within 2 hours of Lucas, OH):

  • Hand-delivery may be available for a flat fee of $75–$100 depending on distance.

🐾 Extended Delivery (beyond 2 hours):

  • Travel is billed at $0.75 per mile round trip or $50 per hour of travel time (whichever is greater).

  • Overnight lodging or meal expenses (if required) will be the responsibility of the buyer.

Airport pickup

The nearest major airport is John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH / KCMH) which is just over an hour from Lucas and within our free delivery radius! If you would like to pick up your kitten at the airport and fly with him or her as a carry-on, we will happily meet you there free of charge (however, a $60.00 pet carrier purchase fee will be added to the cost of your kitten). Please check individual airline policies regarding pet carry-on fees and restrictions, as these are not covered or guaranteed by Shades of Sapphire Ragdolls.

🐾 Air Delivery (In Cabin only)

For families living farther away, we offer safe and stress-free air delivery. Your kitten will never travel in cargo — instead, they will fly in-cabin with myself or a trusted flight nanny who provides constant care throughout the journey. Upon arrival, your kitten will be hand-delivered directly to you at your airport.

📌 Costs include the airline ticket, pet carry-on fee, and a travel service fee (typically $450–$650+, depending on destination). All arrangements are discussed and confirmed in advance to ensure a smooth and safe delivery.

Notice:

🐾 Buyer Responsibility:

  • All delivery fees must be paid in full before travel arrangements are confirmed.

  • We will only deliver kittens once they are cleared by our veterinarian and fully ready for their new homes.
