Jamul, California To Missouri
Missouri has two major airports at opposite ends of the state and four hours of driving in between, which makes picking the right one the single most useful thing you can do before booking anything.
The honest answer
Kansas City is about two and three-quarter hours nonstop from San Diego, St. Louis about three. Both are straightforward airports for a handoff.
The rule of thumb is simple: west of Columbia, fly into Kansas City; east of it, St. Louis. Springfield and the southwest are their own case and worth asking about, because either can be the shorter day depending on the schedule that week.
| Your airport or town | From San Diego |
|---|---|
| Kansas City (MCI) | about 2 hours 45 nonstop |
| St. Louis (STL) | about 3 hours nonstop |
| Columbia | about 2 hours from either |
| Springfield | about 3 hours from either, ask us |
| Joplin | about 3 hours from MCI |

$650Worth knowing
Booking the wrong end of the state. It sounds obvious and it happens most often when one fare looks cheaper. Four hours on I-70 with a kitten who wants out of the carrier erases the saving very quickly.
Spring storms are the second. Missouri gets real severe weather in April and May, and if a line of it is moving through on travel day we move the date. Your kitten stays with us until it clears, at no cost.
And July and August are heavier here than the temperature suggests. Early flights, short handovers, and a car that is already cool before the carrier goes in it.
Settling in
A short flight, so most Missouri kittens arrive with energy left. Let them out in one room rather than the whole house, and offer water straight away.
Keep the food identical for the first week or two. If you chose ground transport they will already have had two gentle days and usually arrive hungry and remarkably calm.
Missouri families come from Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, Columbia, Independence, Lee’s Summit, O’Fallon, St. Joseph and Joplin.
Prepared for Home
Every kitten goes home spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and wormed, with a health certificate, a carrier and a one year genetic health warranty. Read the contract. A $350 deposit holds a kitten against the $650 price, and travel is quoted separately.
