Royal Esprit Rhene

Careful timing and personal delivery

Our Burmese kittens usually join their new homes at 16 to 18 weeks of age. This timing allows for strong socialisation, greater independence from the mother, and a safe, well prepared transition to a new home. Some kittens may need a little more time, and in such cases we always decide individually in the best interest of the kitten.

Personal delivery by the cattery owner

If you would like your kitten to be delivered, the delivery is carried out personally by the cattery owner, who holds an official certificate of competence for the transport of animals in accordance with EU Regulation, issued by the Croatian Veterinary Chamber. This helps ensure a safe, calm and comfortable journey for your kitten.

Delivery options

For destinations within 600 km of Zagreb, delivery by private car is possible. Delivery to Vienna or Budapest usually costs around €250. For longer distances, an overnight stay at the delivery location may be required, and the cost may increase accordingly, reaching up to €450.

For more distant destinations within Europe, delivery is usually arranged by air, with handover at the nearest suitable airport. The average cost of air delivery within Europe is usually around €450 to €550, depending on the route and current travel costs. This price includes only the flight tickets and related travel expenses, without any additional fees. For delivery to countries outside the EU, a Health Certificate issued by the state veterinary inspection is mandatory, which creates an additional cost of €60.

For Canada and the USA, delivery requires considerable time and effort, and for this reason we usually entrust it to a reliable courier with whom we work on these routes. Kittens always travel in the aircraft cabin together with the courier. We never send kittens as cargo.

Where we deliver

We personally deliver to all EU countries, as well as to Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and the European microstates.

We do not deliver to the United Kingdom, due to restrictions on transporting pets in the cabin of flights arriving in the UK. For buyers from the UK, we can deliver kittens to an agreed airport in France, for example Lille Airport (LIL), where they can be collected by car, especially for families living in the south of the United Kingdom. Alternatively, we can deliver to Dublin, from where the kitten can be collected and taken further by ferry.

At the moment, we do not deliver to the UAE or Qatar because of airline restrictions on transporting cats in the cabin. For delivery to other countries, please contact us for individual advice.
