There are no longer any airlines that allow flat-faced breeds (persian and exotic kittens) to fly as cargo. However, You can fly into the Springfield Missouri (SGF) Airport where I can meet you with your kitten or small breed puppy and they can accompany you home in the airplane cabin. There are also flight nanny services available such as Pet Jet Pals.
If the puppy is being shipped, we will be unable to guarantee their health as they will be exposed to several other puppies or small animals, humans, and environmental conditions outside of our control. We also recommend signing up for the 30 days of free pet insurance that is offered by Trupanion or AKC if that is an option that was made available to you.
