No, our policy is not taking deposits and waitlisting. Deposits and waitlists can make it challenging to perfectly match an owner to a kitten, especially if you have specific criteria in mind. This often leads to delays and frustrations on both sides, while the perfect kitten might be available for someone else in the meantime. By not using a waitlist system, we aim to give you full autonomy in your choice and your finances, ensuring you can make a decision that feels right for you without unnecessary delays and pressures. Our goal is to help you find your ideal companion as quickly and seamlessly as possible!

We currently use scoop away complete cat litter. At least initially we recommend using the same one. Transition slowly. The litter box is open top which is important initially as well. They most likely will not even know it’s a litter box if it’s enclosed and so you will need to start with an open top and transition to it being enclosed if using an enclosed litter box.

Our commitment to maintaining the Maine Coon’s distinct characteristics sets us apart; we have a unique breed appearance that you won’t find anywhere else. Our original studs and queens were imported from various countries across Europe—Germany, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Austria, Czechia, and Russia—bringing diverse genetics that contribute to the exceptional looks and personalities of our Maine Coons. Please understand the risks if purchasing out of Country and it's going to cost (over $3,800 for the cat, flight/shipping, paperwork, etc.). The majority of scams happen with oversea purchases.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is the most common cardiac disease in cats. Affected cats are at risk of sudden cardiac death due to defects that produce increased left ventricular heart muscle thickness. In the Maine Coon breed, the A31P mutation in the cardiac myosin binding protein C gene (MYBPC3) has been found to be associated with increased risk for HCM. See the following link for more details: https://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu/services/cat/MaineCoonHCM.php

You will receive the paperwork (called a blue slip) to register the kitten with the CFA. Registering is essential if you would like to show your kitten or simply want the official document to show your kitten/cat is pedigreed. The cost to register is $16 if registered within 30 days of purchase or $21 anytime thereafter. Registration instructions will be on the blue slip.

Not a guarantee of course but from our many years of experience we have only heard positive experiences from customers who have dogs. The bigger the dog the better they seem to do. They have dog like personalities themselves.
