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.

PRICE/DEPOSIT FOR 2021: *The deposit is $500 (the deposit is a portion of the total price). Black Smoke and Silver Tabby Males are $2900. All other Male Colors are $2600. Black Smoke and Silver Tabby or Blacktorbie Silver females are $2300. Black or Black/Brown Tabby females are $2100. My POLYDACT Maine Coons--Black poly's are $3200 and Black Smoke poly's are $3500 (will be available in 2022). Maine Coons from reputable breeders range from $2000 to $4000 and above. Breeding cats and raising kittens is expensive and time-consuming. All reputable breeders are investing continually into their cats, kittens and program. Not to mention paying federal and state taxes. Therefore, a reputable breeder's price will reflect their investment, time, and overhead. Why is breeding correctly so expensive?
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 at a PetSmart or other public location when it's time to pick up your kitten. Please wear a mask, stay in your car, and take proper precautions. 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 videos as the kittens grow and occasionally pictures too.

Kitten Colors Possible Based on my Parents Coloring
- Black Smoke, male and female kittens (black coat with a silver undercoat--silver expression varies).
- Black/Brown Tabby, male and female kittens (black tabby pattern with a brown background).
- Silver Tabby, male and female kittens (silver coat with black tabby pattern).
- Black, male and female kittens (solid Black).
- Red Tabby, male kittens only (red pattern with red roots).
- Red Smoke, male kittens only (red tabby pattern and a silver undercoat--silver expression varies).
- Blacktorbie, female kittens only (Black/brown background color with a tabby pattern and patches of red/cream).
- Silver Blacktorbie, female kittens only (Silver background with a black/grey tabby pattern and patches of red/cream).
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.
Ricky, solid Black (pictured at 10 months). Thor, Silver tabby (pictured at 5 months old). Moon, Red Smoke tabby (pictured at 7 months). Phineas, Black/Brown Tabby (pictured around a year old). These are picture updates from their families, these Maine Coons are not available.
