Okay, here's the scoop.

There's a company called PetAir that ships all sorts of animals all over the world. The cost is $150, which is pretty inexpensive considering what the commercial airlines charge, and would be alot more in gas considering the gas prices. Your mom will have to fill out a shipping account form which is located on their website which is www.flypets.com and will have to make the reservation for Pumpkin. Their phone number is 816-471-3852. If you get a recording, keep trying as they are busy. I kept trying till I got a live person.

The cost does NOT include a carrier. The carrier needs to be hard plastic that gives her at least 2" above her head so she has room to stand up and turn around. They will not ship her if the temp is over 85 degrees or undder 45 degrees. I've listed their requirements in the last post. They require 3 business days after the shipping account form your Mom completes in order to make the reservation.

I've basically done what I can on my end, Zippy. Let me know what you decide.

Nikki,

I just got an email from Pet Air. Here's what they said.


$150 covers all airline expenses and Pet Air charges except for the additional fees and expenses listed below. Additional fees and expense: Due to current high fuel cost there may be a fuel surcharge on each order. Fuel surcharges will be determined once a reservation is made. Insuring your pet shipment against loss or theft is available for an additional fee. The average cost of insurance is only $1.00 per $100 in valuation, we think this is a great value and highly recommend it. Pet Air provides the shipper with a shipping packet that contains preprinted air way bills, flight plans, and shipping instructions. Shipping packets are send via Fed Ex. The Fed Ex fee of approx. $16 will be added to the above price. If receiver is paying for the shipment there is a minimum additional $20 fee.

Let me know what you and your Mom decide.
