Health-Focused Breeding

Our breeding cats are selected for health, temperament, and structure. We test for known HCM mutations and remain transparent about what responsible testing can and cannot guarantee.

Ethical Placement

We carefully match kittens with families and reserve the right to decline placement when a home is not the right fit.

Spayed/Neutered Companion Kittens

All pet-quality kittens are altered prior to placement. This protects the breed, supports responsible ownership, and keeps the program aligned with the client's stated standards.

Lifetime Support

We remain available after placement for guidance, questions, and support throughout the life of your cat.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes. A non-refundable reservation deposit is required to secure a kitten. It removes the kitten from public availability and is applied toward the total purchase price.

What are your prices?

Pet-quality Maine Coon kittens begin at $3,500. Polydactyl Maine Coons begin at $4,500.

Are kittens spayed or neutered before going home?

Yes. All pet-quality kittens are spayed or neutered prior to placement. This is a core policy within the client materials.

Are your kittens registered?

Yes. Kittens are individually registered and go home with documented pedigrees and registration paperwork.

What vaccinations and care do kittens receive?

Kittens receive age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, veterinary examination, and a veterinary passport before placement.

Do polydactyl kittens have health problems because of extra toes?

No. Polydactyl Maine Coons are a naturally occurring variation and are not considered inherently unhealthy solely because of the trait.

Do you offer health guarantees?

Yes. The client materials specify written guarantees including a 36-month FIP health guarantee and 24-month HCM and genetic health disclosures and guarantees.

Do you ship or offer transport?

The materials reference pickup and delivery arrangements. Safe delivery options can be discussed based on timing and destination.
