Frequently Asked Questions

General Maine Coon Information

The average female can grow to 10-15 pounds and the average male can grow to 15-25 pounds.

The average life span of a Maine Coon cat is 9-15 years.

Grooming is recommended at least once a week to prevent their coat from matting using a non-plastic comb or brush. A bamboo or metal comb/brush is recommended. However, due to their long hair, a daily brushing would be preferred. Cats generally do not need to be bathed, but if acclimated at a young age, you can train your Maine Coon to accept baths. Just do not bathe too often to prevent drying out their skin. Nail care consist of trimming or placing nail caps on their nails. Trimming should occur monthly and as needed. Nail caps need to be replaced every 4-6 weeks.

Yes, if treated right by the children and animals, Maine Coons are gentle giants. Just like all cats, they do not enjoy being aggravated, having their tails pulled, being held down, etc., but if treated well, they love humans and other animals, including small children. In our home, we have young children, a German shepherd, chinchillas, and even a gecko that the kittens will be around so they will go to their new homes accustomed to the chaos of other animals and children.

Due to the many dangers and diseases that accompany being outdoors, we do not recommend your Maine Coon being allowed to roam freely outside. However, the occasional walk on a leash is acceptable and will be enjoyed by all. Just make sure they are vaccinated and not exposed to unknown animals while on your walk.

Maine Coon colors include solid white, cream, red, blue, grey, brown, orange, and black.  Popular fur patterns and color blends include tabby, bi-color, particolor, tortoiseshell, shaded, and calicos.

Adoption Questions

Start by filling out a kitten application form. Someone will then be in touch with you soon to let you know what kittens are available and what future litters are planned.

It is recommended a kitten stay with its mother and littermates a minimum of 12 weeks in order to learn important life skills.

Yes!! My cattery, cats, and kittens are all TICA registered.

There will be a scheduled, agreed upon day and time for you to come pick up your kitten from our home or we do have flight nanny services available for delivery.

Your kitten will receive the first FVRCP vaccine at 8 weeks and will be due for the booster at 12 weeks. In addition, they will be dewormed and given a good health check by our vet.

Paypal, Zelle, CashApp, Venmo, Cash, money order, and cashiers check.

Due to safety concerns and health reasons, I do not allow visitors to see the kittens prior to pick up day. My cattery is my personal home and is not open to the public, except during kitten pick up. I will provide a minimum of biweekly photos and videos and if/when time allows will even facetime.

This is a major investment and I understand your fears more than anything. The first time I sent a $500 deposit to someone I had never met before, I felt physically nauseous. I will do all I can to alleviate your worries. I am willing to talk on the phone or facetime with the kittens if need be. I will show you multiple pictures with the same background (something you won’t see on a scammer’s page because their pictures come from various legit breeders’ pages thus, they’re all different.). Any other ways I can help, please let me know as I do not want this to be a nervous process for anyone. It should be exciting and magical, and I want you to feel confident in the process, the kitten and myself. Another way to spot a scammer is to look closely for typographical errors.
