The owner of a kitten that died after being shipped in the cargo hold of a Delta flight says the airline is offering to refund her airfare plus $50, according to the Associated Press.
Snickers froze after flying to Connecticut from Utah last month. A door latch malfunctioned in 10-degree weather and it took nearly an hour to unload her.
Heather Lombardi says Delta initially told her she would get $2,900 for the cat and $290 for airfare, plus reimbursement for vet bills and a freezer where she’s keeping Snickers until the ground thaws. Delta changed its offer Tuesday.
Delta spokesman Anthony Black told the AP that the offer is a standard cargo reimbursement and talks are ongoing.
