Pet Airways Offers Free Flights for Adopted Best Friends Cats
Karen Nichols

Here’s why even the most stalwart shopper should be lured away from coupon-clipping this November 26th. For anybody who has ever looked longingly at the adoptable cats on the Best Friends website, but couldn’t figure out how to bring them home, your chance has come at last.

Pet Airways is going to make a special stop in Kanab to pick up all the animals chosen for adoption, and then will drop them off across the country — free of charge — to their new homes! This all happens during two days: Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday. Doesn’t that beat waiting in line at 3:00 a.m. for crappy made-in-China stocking stuffers that will end up in landfill?

Here’s the goal: Best Friends hopes to have “26 home by the 26th,” or rather, at least 26 cats home by November 26th — Thanksgiving weekend. The drop-off points for the trip are as follows: On Thanksgiving Day, Pet Airways will be stopping at Denver, Colorado; Omaha, Nebraska; and Chicago, Illinois. At that point, they’ll stay the night in Chicago. On Friday, they will stop in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area and finally, in New York City (Long Island).

    What a fantastic idea! Those are some very nice people at Pet Airways. I wish I liked other kitties better, because I’d get my human to bring one of these adoptable cats home!

    What a wonderful thing! Too bad it’s just once a year, and to such limited locales.

    What? Did California suffer a catastrophe and fall off the edge of the continent?

    Liz, Pet Airways have specially set up planes and only fly a few routes but they are flying free to all the cities they cover.

    Depending where you are in CA you may be close enough to drive or US Airways flys out of Las Vegas and allows you to take a cat or small dog in the cabin with you for $100. That’s how I got Minxy home from Best Friends to Sacramento. They brought her to the airport and I did a day trip to Vegas.
