I found two sphynx cats online (a breeding pair) that I wanted to purchase. They were so beautiful what could I do but buy them. I called their owner at the time, Kevin and got everything set up to do the deal and when I told him that I lived in SD he said that we would have to wait to ship the female until fall because she was pregnant and the flight would be too stressful on her. Well I was counting on the fact that she was going to have kittens when I had decided to purchase them, so I had to figure out a way to get them here safely and with as little stress as possible. Also I had an appointment in Mpls. the week following the purchase and if I waited beyond that time no matter how I shipped the pregnant female Bently the pregnancy would be too advanced and we would run the risk of loosing her or the kittens or both. So I called a breeder that I knew and she suggested Uship. I googled Uship and I liked what I saw. Unbelievably the first person that I sent my bid to was ranked like 86th or something out of 147,000 and some shippers and 9th in cats. We had a few mixups like I sent him to Imperial CA instead of Imperial Beach CA. And the fact that the man I was purchasing the cats from wasn't home when James my Ushipper got there and he had to wait half a day but through everything he worked with me and it didn't end up costing me an arm and a leg. He was always available and did the best he could in the circumstances that he was in. The cats got here. A little stressed but considering everything they were in wonderful condition. Thank-You James and thanks Uship I will be using your services again and I would recommend your services to anyone.
