Maine Coon Kittens
* We are a closed cattery and don't sell kittens for breeding nor offer stud services.
* Our kittens are sold as pet companions only and will leave between 14 - 16 weeks 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 lines are screened for hereditary diseases and are carefully planned to produce healthy, confident, sweet tempered kittens true to the Maine Coon breed standard.
* Our kittens are sold with a signed contract between ourselves and the new owner.

Our cats are our passion and a hobby and we make sure they have the best life possible. Breeding takes a lot of time, love, patience and knowledge and it involves sleepless nights and sometimes heart break too. Breeding ethically requires lots of responsibilities, planning and expenses so we can provide our cats and kittens with the high quality of life, food, vet care and other necessities.

The adoption fee includes:
* Purebred, registered, healthy, well socialized and sweet tempered kitten

* Kitten's certified pedigree and SACC registration
* Transfer form for the change of ownership
* Health guarantee (as per our contract)
* Adoption contract

KITTEN ADOPTION PROCESS
WE HAVE DECIDED NOT TO KEEP A WAITING LIST ANYMORE
1. Litter plans, pregnancies and births will be posted on our Facebook Page and on our website so you can keep up to date with our plans and kitten news.
2. Once kittens are few weeks old and thriving, we will start posting photos and videos to our Facebook page so you can watch kittens' development and get in touch with us should you require more information about the kittens.
3. Once kittens reach 8-9 weeks of age and are available, we will post them on both FB page and our website. We do not take deposits for kittens before this age so we can observe kittens' developments and let their personalities to form - this is very important for a selection of right homes for each of our kittens.
4. Our online kitten application form will be then be activated for a limited time (link will also be posted on our Facebook Page) so you can apply for a kitten of your choice.
5. Once we've read through kitten applications, we will decide on the right homes for each of our kittens and we will contact the successful applicants. You will be given 48 hours to pay the deposit to reserve the kitten as well as our contract to sign.
6. Once kitten is reserved, you will be receiving regular updates as well as emails with "shopping list" and useful guides to get prepared well in advance before our kitten moves to your home.
7. Kittens will be ready to leave between 14-16 weeks, after they've had received both sets of vaccinations and are neutered/spayed.
8. If you reside in another province and can't collect the kitten personally from our home, we can assist with flight bookings and transportation to the airport. Travel and carrier charges are at your expense and must be paid prior to kitten leaving.
This system will hopefully give everyone interested in our kitten a fair chance and it will provide more efficient way of handling the kitten applications.
Unfortunately due to the recent covid-19 outbreak we no longer allow any visitors for kitten viewings into our home. Video calls can be arranged should you wish to meet us and the kitten prior to kitten reservation. Kitten owners will receive regular updates with photos or videos via WhatsApp or Messenger.
OUR REQUIREMENTS
* Our kittens' new homes must be loving, safe, secure and escape proof. Our kittens must sleep inside of the house and not be allowed to roam.
* A virtual home check will be required prior to kitten reservation, so if necessary, we can advise you on what needs to to be done to meet our "escape-proofing" standard. Whether this means putting mesh on your windows, gates or balconies, building a catio or securing your walls to prevent free roaming around the neighborhood, we will give you our input for best DIY options or recommend professional companies to assist you.
* All cats, and Maine Coons especially, are very social creatures who thrive in feline company. It is required that any prospective new home must have at least one young cat or another kitten as a companion for our kitten. We love when two siblings go together to a new home as they've already formed a very strong bond, but we also encourage to adopt a kitten from reputable animal shelter/ rescue organisation as an alternative option if you currently don't have a young cat or kitten in your home.
* We believe a correct diet is extremely important for all cats, and Maine Coons especially due to their size. All of our cats and kittens are fed exclusively with nutritionally balanced raw diet and we ask our kitten owners to continue with it - full guidance and support will be offered.
* Our kittens must never be declawed or kept in a cage.
* Our kittens must receive all required booster vaccinations and necessary veterinary care to maintain their good health.
We don't take deposits until kittens are at least 8 weeks old. 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.
If we find at any stage the prospective new home is not a good match for any reason, we reserve the right to cancel the sale and return the deposit (if paid).
