Whether by land or by air, we've got you covered! This page explains your options for transporting your cats to/from The Sunshine Home.

Within the continental US you have a few options in getting you cats to us:

If your cats are within less than a day's drive from Upstate New York we'd be happy to come and pick them up! See the circled green area on the map shown below.

If your cats are outside our normal pick up area, (the pink area on the map shown above) you may wish to use one of the following transport options:

A. Fly the cats into the Greater Rochester International Airport (airport code ROC), Rochester, New York via Continental Airlines PetSafe QUICKPAK Program. Of all the airlines that ship pets we can recommend Continental because we have used them with great success. More information may be found at their web site on their Continental Airlines Traveling with Pets page. You also can download their current rate chart here. And be sure to tell them we sent you. Visit our Getting Ready to Fly page to learn about preparing your cat's carrier for shipment.

B. You can have your cats picked up at your front door and delivered to us by TLC Pet Transport. Other cross-country pet transport services work more like a public bus service, stopping in other towns and cities along the route, picking up and dropping off other people's cats, dogs and pets and many times taking a week or more to make the long, noisey and stressful trip. Not Gale Lang and TLC Pet Transport -- they will carry YOUR cats and ONLY your cats for the entire trip, and bring then straight here. There is no comparison, we feel they are the best! More information and rates may be found at their web site, TLC Pet Transport & and In Home Care, Inc.. Mention The Sunshine Home when you speak with Gale!

It's important to know the customs and the regulations when shipping your cats internationally! We have successfully used California-based Pet Express. They not only know the ins and outs of moving cats throughout the world, they always work to get you the best service at the best value! More information may be found at the Pet Express web site. And be sure to tell them The Sunshine Home referred you to them.

...and when it comes to your cat's safety and comfort when flying via airline such as Continental Airline's PetSafe Program, at The Sunshine Home we have the knowledge and experience to do it right!
