So, I'm moving into an apartment where I can get a new kitten and I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about that.

I'm moving to Flagstaff, Az where the elevation is roughly 7,000 feet and the closest large city is Phoenix and this is where I live now. The elevation of Phoenix is about 1,000 feet.

I have heard from two people that they adopted kittens from homes in Phoenix and when they took the kittens back to Flagstaff they died. Both of them blame the elevation change. Some of the people I talked to support this theory and some don't so I figured I should ask the wise people of the tilted forums for their advice.

Anyone know if this is true or not? If it is true is there anything I can do about it?

I would like to be able to adopt a kitten from somewhere in Phoenix if I need to because there is a better chance I will find one from a Humane Society.
