Question
Hi Jessica, i was recently given an orphan kitty by a friend. he is less then a week old and i leave to my home island in about a week so he will be 2 weeks old when i leave. I really want to take him and am willing to feed him and be constantly taking care of him. i just want to know if theres a way that i can take him with me.

Answer
Hi Vanessa.  You would have to check with your airline to be absolutely sure, but with all the airlines I've dealt with, kittens must be at least 8 weeks old or fully weaned, even if accompanied the whole time.  I'm so sorry!

I hope it works out for you.
