​🐱 How much are your Maine Coon kittens?

Our Maine Coon kittens start at $2,500.

A $500 deposit is required to reserve your kitten, with the remaining balance due in cash at pickup.
 

💕 How do I reserve a kitten?

The first step is to complete our adoption application:

https://www.mainemeowscattery.com/applytoadopt

Once your application has been reviewed and approved, we'll walk you through the reservation process.

A $500 deposit is required to officially reserve your kitten. We also require a signed adoption contract.

Kittens are not considered reserved until the reservation requirements have been completed.
 

🐾 Where can I see your available kittens?

You can view our available kittens, photos, birth dates, and additional information on our website:

https://www.mainemeowscattery.com/availablekittens

We update our website regularly as the kittens grow. We also post additional pictures, videos, and updates on our Facebook and TikTok pages!
 

📅 When will the kittens be ready to go home?

Our kittens typically go home at approximately 12 weeks old.

Our current litters were born October 6 and October 11, 2026, and are expected to be ready around late December to early January, depending on their development and health.

Pickup dates are tentative and may change. Our kittens' health and readiness will always come first!
 

🏡 Can I come visit the kittens before reserving one?

Absolutely! However, we do not allow in-person visits until the kittens are at least 7 weeks old.

Our kittens receive their first vaccinations at approximately 6 weeks old, and we allow an additional week before welcoming visitors.

This helps protect their developing immune systems while they're still very young.

You do not have to wait until 7 weeks to reserve a kitten! Reservations are open before in-person visits begin.
 

📱 Can I FaceTime with a kitten before reserving?

Yes! We understand how exciting it is to choose your new family member, especially when they're still too young for visitors.

We're happy to arrange FaceTime calls so you can see the kittens and watch them grow.

Keep in mind that very young kittens spend most of their time eating and sleeping, so their personalities become more noticeable as they get older!
 

❤️ What comes with my kitten?

Every Maine Meows kitten goes home with:

• TICA registration

• First FVRCP vaccination

• Age-appropriate deworming

• One-year health guarantee

• Welcome Home Kit

• Lots of love and socialization!
   

🩺 Are your breeding cats health tested?

Yes! The health of our cats and kittens is extremely important to us.

Our breeding cats undergo health and genetic testing, including cardiac evaluations.

Maine Coons can be predisposed to certain hereditary conditions, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). While no breeder can guarantee that a cat will never develop a health condition, we take responsible steps to reduce risks and prioritize healthy breeding practices.

All of our kittens also come with a one-year health guarantee, as outlined in our adoption contract.
 

🥰 How are your kittens raised and socialized?

Our kittens are raised right inside our home as part of our family!

We put a tremendous amount of time and effort into socializing our babies from an early age.

As they grow, they're introduced to children, dogs, other cats, everyday household noises, and normal family activities.

We also work on getting them comfortable with handling, grooming, harnesses, and new experiences. When they're old enough and it's safe, we introduce them to appropriate outings and environments outside the home.

Our goal is to raise confident, affectionate, well-adjusted kittens who transition easily into their new families.
 

🐶 Are Maine Coons good with children and dogs?

Maine Coons are known for their affectionate, social, and playful personalities!

We always say they're the perfect combination of a cat and a dog. 🥰

Many Maine Coons love following their people around, greeting visitors, playing interactive games, and being involved in whatever their family is doing.

They're often wonderful companions for families with children and other pets, especially when introductions are done properly.

Every kitten has its own personality, but we work hard to give our babies a great foundation.
 

📍 Where are you located?

Maine Meows Cattery is located in Valparaiso, Indiana, in Northwest Indiana, conveniently located near the Chicago area.

We are a home-based cattery, not a storefront.

Visits and pickups are by appointment only.
 

💰 What forms of payment do you accept?

We currently accept Cash App, Venmo, and Zelle for reservation deposits.

The remaining balance is due in cash at pickup.

Payment instructions will be provided after your application has been reviewed and your reservation is ready to move forward.
 

🐾 Are your kittens registered?

Yes! Our Maine Coon kittens are TICA registered.

TICA stands for The International Cat Association, one of the world's largest pedigreed cat registries.

Registration information is provided after spay/neuter as outlined in your adoption agreement.
 

📸 Will I receive updates on my kitten while waiting for pickup?

Absolutely!

We love sharing our babies as they grow! We regularly post photos, videos, and milestones on our Facebook and TikTok pages.

We also update our website with new photos and information.

You'll be able to watch your little one grow from a tiny newborn into a playful, fluffy Maine Coon!
 

💌 How can I contact you?
