Shipping & Delivery
Reliable & Secure Shipping for Your New Family Member
At Royal British Shorthair, we understand that welcoming a new kitten into your home is an exciting and heartfelt experience. Whether you’re located in Australia or the USA, our goal is to make the transition as safe, smooth, and stress-free as possible.
We take every precaution to ensure your kitten arrives healthy, happy, and comfortable. From our careful health protocols to our trusted delivery partners, every step of our process is designed with your kitten’s well-being in mind.
Health & Care Standards
Your kitten’s health and safety come first. Before any kitten leaves our home, they undergo a comprehensive veterinary health check to ensure they’re in perfect condition for travel.
We closely follow all health checkpoints and provide you with documentation of vaccinations, deworming, and vet clearance. As a new owner, you’ll be responsible for continuing your kitten’s care with regular vet visits and up-to-date vaccinations to maintain their long-term health.
Shipping Within The United Kingdom
We offer secure and reliable delivery options tailored to your location and your kitten’s comfort:
Ground Transport (Short Distance)
For local or regional deliveries, we use professional ground transport services that ensure a smooth and comfortable journey. Regular stops are made for feeding, rest, and care.
Air Transport (Long Distance)
For customers farther away, we coordinate climate-controlled air transport through pet-friendly airlines. Your kitten travels in a safe, comfortable carrier, attended by trained handlers who prioritize their well-being throughout the flight.
Both methods include real-time tracking, so you can follow your kitten’s journey until they arrive safely at your doorstep.
