DEPOSIT OPENINGS FOR 2022, LISTED BELOW
NOT AVAILABLE
Estimated due dates below. The reason this date is over a period of months, is that a cat’s heat always fluctuates. Cats have seasonal heats (dogs do not). Seasonal heats are based on the amount of sunlight in a day over a period, as we know, the amount of sunshine in a day depends on the weather and the weather is always changing. With this said, I know approximate timing, but not exactly until they go into heat. They are pregnant for 59 to 71 days.
*If I do not have an opening for you below, my daughter might: Mountain High Maine Coons. FYI: ALL MY BLACK SMOKE MALE OPENINGS ARE RESERVED.

**DEPOSIT OPENINGS FOR POLYDACT KITTENS IN 2022. Polydact Cats have extra toe beans, and mine have extra toe beans on all four paws, making them rare. They look like they have mittens on, and polydact cats are thought to be good luck. Maine Coons are a breed that have always had polydacts (40 percent of the breed were once Polydacts), but they are harder to find now. Being a polydact gives them a bigger advantage because they have even more impressive balance skills. Maine Coons already have large paws, but a polydact has even larger paws. *DEPOSIT OPENINGS: POLYDACT 2022: I am taking one deposit for a Black Male poly. I am taking one deposit for a Black Smoke female poly. I am taking one deposit for a Black female poly. I am taking one deposit for anyone open to either gender or color polydact.

KITTEN INFO & KITTEN NURSERY VIDEO BELOW
I have a kitten nursery in my house. This provides the kittens with a safe space and helps them develop good litter box habits. This also provides my Mom's a private area with their kittens and reduces stress. The Moms can jump in and out of the area as they wish. Our kittens always get plenty of playtime outside of the nursery and daily handling.

VISITORS & PICK-UP POLICY: Right now because of my HOA and covid precautions, I have put a hold on clients coming here. However, I am happy to schedule a time to Facetime or Google Duo with you too. I can't wait until my clients can come to my home again. Over the last decade pick-up was at my home and I have endless clients you can contact for a reference. For now though, I meet families about 6 miles from my home across the street from my vet clinic. Once I move to my permanent home in Colorado, I will have pick-up at my house again. *How can I help you feel more secure in your purchase...here are several suggestions. In the 'age of technology', you can easily verify my reputation online, via my Facebook RIGGS MAINE COON CATTERY FAN PAGE, and by viewing my website. My past clients are pretty active in the comments of my Cattery Fan page too. Other ways to verify my cattery...I am a registered cattery with TICA (Riggs Maine Coon). Also, by contacting my vet clinic in IN who have known me for decades (Bluffton Animal Clinic, in Bluffton IN). If you call them, please keep the inquiry brief as they are a business. Also, two Vet Techs from my clinic in IN have Maine Coons from me (Jess and Devon). I recently moved to CO and will be starting a new relationship with the vets here and that takes time. Although visiting kittens is fun, there is no health benefit or bonding that occurs from that visit. Your kitten will quickly bond to you and your family once you take them home. I also provide bi-weekly picture as the kittens grow and occasionally videos too.
EXCUSE ANY GRAMMAR OR SPELLING ERRORS, I TEND TO MISS MY OWN ERRORS.

Kitten Colors Possible Based on my Parent's Coloring
Walter is past kitten & NOT AVAILABLE.
*Phoenix, Bleubelle, Bella, & Duchess have these two colors, mostly Black Smoke.
FYI: The color of a kitten is based on the color of the parents (recessive for dilute can be carried but not visually expressed). Red is a sex linked color. More on color genetics here: http://www.bio.miami.edu/dana/dox/calico.html
Smoke is caused by the combination of the dominant Inhibitor gene with the recessive Non-agouti (non-tabby) gene. So Black Smoke means Black with Silver expression. Same for Blue Smoke, Red Smoke, and etc. All have a Silver expression starting at the roots and in varying degrees.
Tabby is not a color or a breed of cat, tabby is a pattern on a base coat color. There are different tabby patterns too. Many types of cats come with a tabby pattern. Well marked tabby's regardless of breed or a domestic cats have an 'M' marked forehead. This is NOT an exclusive marking for Maine Coons. Maine Coon stands for the state of Maine and their origin. Tabby patterns in a Maine Coon: mackerel, classic, or ticked.
- Black Smoke, male and female kittens (black coat with a silver undercoat--silver expression varies).
- Black, male and female kittens (solid Black).
