RESERVING A KITTEN: To be on the Waiting List, fill out a Kitten Application but NO deposit is required until kittens are available. To be on the Deposit List, fill out a Kitten Application and send a deposit once I approve the application, however, I am not taking deposits at this time, only applications. I do not hold available kittens without an application and deposit. The deposit is also nonrefundable. *If you can't get the kitten as planned, then your deposit can be moved to a future litter. Please do not send a deposit unless you are 100% certain you want a kitten and are committed to the Maine Coon for its life.
PRICE/DEPOSIT: The deposit is $400. Black Smoke Males, $2200. All other Male Colors, $1800 to $2000. *Females are $1400 to $1700. The price range depends on the gender, color, and structure. Price is subject to change. Payment Options: Personal or Cashiers Check (only in advance of pick-up), Paypal or Credit Card or Cash. Understand that all reputable breeders are investing into their cats and kittens, and breeding responsibly is expensive and time-consuming, and a reputable breeders price, will reflect their investment, time, and overhead.
REMAINING BALANCE DUE DATE: The remaining balance is due before the kitten turns eight weeks old, *if you placed a deposit right after the birth of the kitten. If you place a deposit AFTER the kitten is six weeks old, the balance is due by TEN WEEKS old or at pick-up (in cash). I do not keep kittens past the 12 week pick up date, unless absolutely necessary. Boarding fee is $10 a day. Please plan your schedule around the pick-up date, thank you in advance. *Kittens stay with us until they are around 12 weeks old (TICA recommends 12 weeks old).
KITTEN SELECTION PROCESS: I will take two deposits in advance for planned litters in the future (up to 12 months in advance). One deposit for each gender. The families who placed a deposit in advance of the birth, will have the first pick of the litter for their selected gender. Other available kittens in the litter will be posted on the KITTEN PAGE in detail once they are born. I will post weekly updated pictures/videos of available kittens too. I am not taking deposits at this time though, just applications for the Waiting List.
VISITING/PICK-UP POLICY: Unfortunately, I can't allow visitors other than the pick-up day for your kitten. Cats are not like dogs who enjoy being more social with strangers, cats get stressed more easily and especially pregnant and nursing mothers. Added stress from strangers can have an impact on their health and put the litter at risk too. Also, more foot-traffic increases the risk of someone bringing in a disease, and unlike dogs, cats can actually catch the human flu virus. This is our private home and they do great with the normal flow of family and friends visiting. REFERENCES, I do have plenty of personal references from Miniature Schnauzer families who have been to my home, my vet clinic can also be a reference, and I will provide proof that the litter is registered with TICA with the Breeder Slip. Thank you so much for understanding and helping to protect our Maine Coons and kittens.

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 color determines the color of the female kitten. This is because for cats, the color gene is on the X chromosome only.
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.
