ABOUT US!

NUTRITION: 

We introduce our kittens to  Royal Canin Mother and Baby Cat dry food and Fancy Feast Kitten wet food when they are 4-5 weeks old.

When the kittens are 7 weeks we introduce them to ADULT  CAT FOOD; Purina One Chicken dry food, and Purina ProPlan,  Friskies, Fancy Feast, Wellness, and Science Diet wet food.  

 A Drink Well fountain and several bowls of water are necessary as Maine Coons require a lot of water.  Wet food should be given to your cats twice a day, 1/2 can in the morning 1/2 can in the evening. Dry food can be left out over night and replenished the next morning.

STARTER KITTEN STARTER KITS: 

Included in all starter kitten kits is all veterinary/medical records, including dates of all vaccinations, fecal testing results, and a microchip. All of our kittens are litter trained and introduced to kitten food when they are 4-5 weeks old. They are introduced to adult food when they are 7 weeks old.  Copies of parents DNA results and of parents heart ultrasounds and a pedigree will be included with your final contract. A handbook with our veterinarian's contact information, with our feeding schedule, and which litter we use, is sent to all kitten buyers. Samples of the dry and canned food that the kitten has been eating are given to kitten buyers when they come to pick up their kitten.

 
PICK UP INFORMATION: 

We do not ship our cats; they must be picked up from our home.  Please bring a carrier with you when you come to pick up your kitten.

APPLICATION: 

All prospective kitten buyers and buyers for our retired breeding cats, are required to complete a application. One will be sent to you upon request. 

HEALTH GUARANTEE:  

We offer a 2-year health guarantee for heart related illness. All kittens must be seen by the kitten buyers' vet within 72 hours of possession for a healthy kitten checkup. This assures you that we have sold you a healthy kitten and it will activate your guarantee. 

VET INFORMATION: 

All of our cats are seen by our veterinarian Rick Moore DVM, AAHA, as needed and for core vaccines at 8 and 12 weeks, fecal testing and de-worming, they receive a microchip when they are 12 weeks old.

BEFORE YOU ADOPT- THINGS TO CONSIDER:

THE PARENTS: 

Does the website show full names of the parents and registered cattery name? Do they have information on a public site that is variable? Are there photos of their cats including a link for their pedigree? Does the website feature a "lock?" Have the cats been genetically tested for HCM, and PK Deficiency? Is there verification of all genetic tests done? 

THE SCAMMERS: 

The scammers are out and ready to take your money. Why? Because there are always families that are looking for that special kitten. They will communicate with you via text and email and very rarely on phone call. They will promise you a beautiful Maine Coon kitten, and request payment via Wells Fargo. Unfortunately, the kitten you've just sent payment for may not exist.

THE BREEDER:  

When selecting a breeder make sure that they are legitimate reputable breeders. If you see a site saying they have "kittens available, Buy Now!" Be careful. If they show a photo of a kitten that is available and under 12 weeks old, Be careful. Reputable breeders do not let kittens leave for their new homes until they are at least 12 weeks old and will never say Buy Now! 

How old are their kittens when leaving for their new homes? Kittens should NEVER be allowed to leave for their new homes before 12 weeks of age. Should be healthy and free of parasites when leaving and should be micro chipped.

Does the breeder have a home that welcomes new owners to visit their kittens and the parents?  Have a home that is clean. Should care that their kittens will be placed only in approved homes and given a lifetime of love? Fed high quality food and receive regular vet care. Provide you with a proper pedigree and TICA registration papers (once the kittens have been neutered/spayed.) Provide "starter food kits" and a list of all of the food that the kitten had been eating.

We work exclusively with ABSCatz,  MTNest and Paleeni in the United States and Madinina  in France and Snowfield Coon Cattery in China.
