Maine Coon Kittens
* We work within a small group of breeders only and don't sell for breeding - our kittens are sold as pet companions only. Our kittens will leave between 12-16 of age at our discretion: when we feel they are ready and providing there's no delay in homecoming which is beyond our control. This is not negotiable as keeping kittens with their moms until this age allows kittens to develop proper social skills.
All kittens will be spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated and registered with The Southern African Cat Council (SACC). Our kittens are sold with a signed contract between ourselves and the new owner.

* Our lines are screened for hereditary diseases and are carefully planned to produce healthy, confident, sweet tempered kittens true to the Maine Coon breed standard.
WAITING LIST
As of May 2020 we have decided to start an official Dark Moon Waiting List. This list was created exclusively for people who are committed to adopt Dark Moon Maine Coon kitten. This method will give serious buyers the priority in choosing their kitten as people on our waiting list will get the first choice to do so. Only limited number of people will be invited to join the list to make sure everyone gets their kitten as soon as possible.
In order to be put on our waiting list, you will need to answer few questions about yourself and your family in our questionnaire.
If you are invited to join our Waiting List, you will receive a document to complete, as well as an invoice for R 1000 waiting list fee ( which goes towards the total adoption cost of a kitten).
Each member of our Waiting List will get the opportunity (working on "first come-first serve" bases) to choose a kitten best suitable for their family. The chosen kitten may be secured with a deposit.
If you decide to wait for a kitten from the next litter, you may do so and your position on the list will remain the same.
Waiting time for kittens depends on numerous factors (requested colour, gender, number of people on our waiting list ahead of you) and can take 6 - 12 months.
OUR REQUIREMENTS
* We require our kittens to have a feline companion in their new home, as Maine Coons are very social animals. This can be achieved by two siblings going home together, or by adopting a kitten from animal shelter.
* We don't take deposits until kittens are at least 6-8 weeks of age. If a kitten is being evaluated for show/breeding, we reserve the right to delay the decision of placement until the kitten's show potential can be fully evaluated.
* Our kittens are brought up with love and respect. We take a great care in socializing our kittens from an early age so they go to their new homes confident, loving and trusting towards humans and other pets. This process of socialization starts from around 3 weeks, and lasts until they are ready to leave for their new homes. They get the run of the house, play in the catio, meet our other cats, dogs and family members. They receive lots of cuddles, get used to different sounds and "playmates" so they settle really quickly and easily into their new homes.
Unfortunately due to the recent covid-19 outbreak all visits to our cattery (except for the kitten collection) are cancelled until further notice.
* We might require a home check prior to kitten being homed. If we find the home is not a good match for any reason, we reserve the right to cancel the sale and return the deposit (if paid).
* Our kittens must never be declawed or kept in a cage.
* Our kittens must receive all compulsory vaccinations and required veterinary care.
* We require our kittens' new homes to be loving, safe, secure and escape proof.
