We’re in San Antonio, Texas—but we deliver our Maine Coon kittens across the U.S. and internationally. We’re one of the only breeders who personally deliver each kitten, by land or air, to ensure a safe journey and a warm, in-person handoff.
Our health guarantee covers major genetic conditions and ensures your kitten arrives healthy and thriving. Read the full details on our Maine Coon Health Guarantee page.
No, it’s not okay to declaw a cat. Declawing is a painful surgical procedure that removes part of the toe bone—not just the nail. It often leads to chronic pain, arthritis, and behavioral changes.
Most veterinarians and animal welfare organizations strongly oppose it. We recommend safe alternatives like regular nail trims, scratching posts, or soft nail caps.
Kittens go home between 12–16 weeks of age, depending on their readiness and spay/neuter status. We do not release kittens earlier. Each kitten must be sterilized before leaving and have a veterinary clearance.
You can review the full terms in our Maine Coon Kitten Contract.
Fill out our application form. Once approved, you’ll receive our contract. A 30% deposit secures your kitten. Transportation fees are paid in full upfront if delivery is required. The remaining balance is due at pickup or delivery.
