🐾 General Information & Breed Traits

What makes Maine Coons unique?



Maine Coons are known as the "gentle giants" of the cat world. They are famous for their large size, tufted ears, bushy tails, and affectionate, dog-like personalities. They are vocal, curious, and often love playing with water!

How big do Maine Coons get?

• Males: Typically weigh between 15 to 25 lbs (6.8–11.3 kg).

• Females: Typically weigh between 10 to 15 lbs (4.5–6.8 kg).

• Maine Coons grow slowly and usually don't reach their full physical maturity until they are 3

2) Approval & Deposit: Once approved, a deposit secures your spot on our waitlist or reserves a specific kitten.

3) Selection: Kittens are chosen in the order deposits are received.


🏥 Health & Care

What health testing do you perform on your breeding cats?



The health of our cats is our top priority. Our breeding adults are tested and screened for genetic conditions common to the breed, including:

• HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) – genetic test & echocardiograms

• SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy)

• PKD / PKDef (Polycystic Kidney Disease & Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency)

• FIV / FeLV negative status


🚗 Delivery & Pickup

Do you ship or deliver kittens?


Yes, we offer a few delivery options:

• In-Person Pickup: You are welcome to pick up your kitten directly from our cattery.

• Flight Nanny: A trusted flight nanny can accompany your kitten in the cabin on a flight to your nearest major airport or be delivered to your front door!

• Ground Transport: Professional pet transport services are available depending on your location. (Note: We never ship kittens as cargo.)


What is included with my kitten?

All of our kittens go home with:

• Registration papers (TICA/CFA)

• Complete health record and age-appropriate vaccinations

• Microchip registration

• Spay/neuter completion (or contract)

• A starter kit (sample food, familiar toy, and scent blanket)

• Written health guarantee


At what age can my kitten come home?

Kittens are ready to go to their forever homes between 12 and 16 weeks of age. This ensures they are fully weaned, litter trained, properly socialized, and vaccinated.


Do Maine Coons require a lot of grooming?

Yes, their thick double coat requires regular attention. We recommend brushing them 2 to 3 times a week to prevent mats and tangles, with daily brushing during shedding seasons. Introducing grooming early helps them view it as bonding time!
