This kitten is no longer available
UPDATED 08/12/2019: My litter of SIX kittens born 7/16/2019 are all reserved.
UPCOMING LITTERS: I have a litter due late August and the beginning of September--both confirmed pregnant. *Malibu and Bleubelle are the Queens of the next two litters due and Maverick is the stud. Scroll below for the application link and watch this page for updates around mid-August and early September.
Kitten Colors Expected for the August and September Litters: I expect Black and Black Smoke from Bleubelle and Maverick. Malibu and Maverick can produce a variety of colors, including the tuxedo white markings. Keep in mind, they won't have all these colors but each color is possible--Black, Black Smoke, Black Tabby, Black Silver Tabby, Red, Red Smoke, Red Tabby, Red Silver Tabby, Blacktortie, Blacktortie Smoke, Blacktortie Tabby, and more AND each color can come in tuxedo white markings too.
FYI: Our kittens go home very well socialized, litter trained, and healthy with a Three Year Health Contract and Kitten Welcome Package. *Kittens stay with us until they are around 10 weeks old. FYI: I chose 10 weeks old because my veterinarian states eight weeks is perfectly acceptable for kittens to go home and TICA recommends 12 weeks old--10 weeks old is a good median age between the two recommendations.
Available kittens will be listed on this page when I have kittens to reserve. I am taking APPLICATIONS for my Waiting List. No deposit is required to be on the Waiting List.

FYI: The color of a kitten is based on the color of the parents only. The Queens color determines the color of male kittens. The Queen and Stud's coloring determines the color of the female kittens. This is because, the color gene is on the X chromosome only with cats.
Smoke is an influence color gene, in-addition to the base color. So Black Smoke means Black Silver, a Black cat with a Silver undercoat. Same for a Red Smoke, Blacktortie Smoke and etc. All have a Silver undercoat.
Tabby is not a color or a breed of cat, tabby is a marking on a base color. There are different tabby markings too. Many types of cats come with tabby markings. Well marked tabby's regardless of breed or non-breed have a 'M' marked forehead. This is NOT an exclusive marking for Maine Coons only. Maine Coon, stands for the state of Maine.
