There are 3 different contracts that also must be signed at various times between reservation and leaving the cattery. You can click the button below for a more detailed explanation of the process.

Yes, we do have a waitlist. However, the length of the waitlist varies from time to time. We do charge a fee (that goes towards the price of the kitten) to join our waitlist. Those on our waitlist get to pick and reserve their kitten first, in the order they joined. We always encourage anyone who wants a kitten from us to join our waitlist as soon as they can as this ensures they get the kitten they want the soonest. Click on the link below for more detailed information.

Our kittens are allowed to leave our cattery when they are 14 weeks old, provided they have a clean bill of health from our veterinarian.

Prices for my pet kittens are on the low end of average. We have done this because we want good, potential families to be able to afford the Maine Coon of their dreams. But, we also want to be sure that potential families understand the value of what they are getting in one of our kittens, and know that they are going to continue to invest the time, money and energy into giving one of our kittens a long, wonderful life.

We do not under any circumstances accept payments through PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, Apple Cash, or any other such form.

No, Maine Coons do not need to go outside. Some may enjoy it, but they do not NEED to go outside to live a happy, full life. If you would like to take your Maine Coon outside, there are some safe options you can go with, such as harness and leash training or an outdoor catio. Under no circumstances should a Maine Coon be allowed to be outside unsupervised, weather you live in the country of the city.

Personality is "what a cat does". This changes depending on age, circumstances, and environment. A cat's personality would be something like being a lap cat, being super playful, loving to go places or meet new people. Temperament is "what a cat is". This is engrained in the cat from birth and will not change. A cat's temperament would be laidback, skittish, talkative, scared, bold or adventurous.

Our kittens have an amazing nature! Our king, Conall is a sweet, gentle, laidback boy with strong genes. Since we have added him into our breeding program, our kittens have all been sweet, gentle and easy going. Some of them are more bold and playful than others, but they all like people, attention, and are the most amazing kittens you will find!

Maine Coons are amazing and you will never regret owning one! There is a lot of information on Maine Coons on our website, but you can click the button below for specific information on the breed and their health.

Personality and temperament are the third thing we breed for (behind breed standard and health). Our king and queens each have their own unique, wonderful personality, but are all people-loving, attention-loving, and sweet. We would never add a cat to our breeding program who does not have those 3 traits.

Kittens are fully vaccinated by our licensed veterinarian before leaving our cattery. However, some veterinarians still like to give a 3rd core vaccine booster at 16-18 weeks to make sure the kitten is fully protected. It will be your responsibility to take with your veterinarian and have this 3rd vaccine given to your kitten if you choose. You will only HAVE to have your veterinarian give your kitten his/her rabies vaccine when he/she is 16 weeks old.

Our kittens are not spayed/neutered before they leave our cattery. So, to protect our kittens from backyard breeders and kitten mills, we have partnered with SpaySecure, who are a 3rd party entity that helps breeders protect their kittens and breeding lines.

First of all, just look at our website and you will find proof that we are not a scam or backyard breeder. Scammers or backyard "breeders" are not going to put this much time and effort into a website! But, scams are something to be very aware of and concerned about. There are a ton of scams out there that seem very convincing, and it is all too easy to get caught in their trap. Being careful you are not buying from a backyard breeder is also very important as that could cost you thousands in vet bills and ultimately end in heartbreak all too quickly. You can click the button below to learn about some of the warning signs to look for, as well as questions to ask a breeder, including us. We do all we can to make sure you do not have any fears about working with us. We are more than willing to set up a phone call or video chat so we can talk in person and you can see our cats and kittens. We also accept payments through Camlist to provide extra security to our buyers.

The color of a Maine Coon is just that...the color you see. Other than a tortie (which are black and red or blue and cream), cats are just one color. The pattern is what brings in other colors to the look of the cat. Tabby and smoke are both patterns a Maine Coon can have. Tabby cats can have one of several different tabby patterns and bring white or a light brown color to the cat's coat. Smoke is a white undercoat that grows in and give the cat a "smokey" appearance.

Guaranteeing the size of a kitten is not something we are able to do. All we can tell you is how big our graduates have been. Generally, our females get to 10-13lbs and our males get to 16-18bs when fully grown. A decent number of our male kittens have grown to 20lbs+, but that is the acceptation, not the rule. To find out more about growth, please click the link below. There are several areas on this page that talk about growth.
