Our Adoption Process

Discover the Maine Street Coons' Difference

At Maine Street Coons, we believe adopting a kitten is more than just finding a pet—it’s about creating the perfect match for both you and your new furry family member. Our hands-on, high-touch approach is designed to ensure the needs and personalities of both kittens and humans are thoughtfully considered. With only four to five litters a year, we raise and place a select 20 to 30 kittens annually, ensuring every match is made with care and love. 

How Our Process Works

Apply to Join the VIP Waiting List:

  • Complete our online application and participate in a phone interview.
  • Once approved, you’ll be added to our VIP wait list.


Wait Times and List Management:

  • Our wait list is capped at 20 approved applications to ensure wait times remain 12 months or shorter. Once we reach this limit, the list is temporarily closed.
  • On average, we have a litter every three months, but litter sizes, and therefore wait times, vary.
  • Adopters who are flexible and open-minded about gender and color will have the shortest wait times.


Matching Process:

  • When they are about eight weeks old, kittens are offered to individuals on the waiting list based on temperament and overall fit first, with buyer preferences considered second.
  • Priority is given to existing clients and adopters of sibling pairs.
  • During the matching process, you'll receive an individual assessment of the kitten being offered, including details such as color, size, temperament, and personality traits.
  • We are happy to arrange a video call to introduce you to the individual kitten and answer any questions you may have.
  • You're not obligated to accept the kitten offered, you can pass on a kitten up to two times and remain on the waiting list.


Reservation Process:

  • You have 24-hours to commit to or pass on a kitten that is offered to you before we move on to the next appropriate person on the wait list.
  • Reservations are confirmed upon receipt of your signed reservation agreement and non-refundable, non-transferrable $1,000 deposit.
  • Once a kitten is reserved for you, you will receive individual updates and photos at least weekly to keep you connected as your kitten grows.
  • We will also send you all the information you need to prepare for a seamless homecoming. 


Going Home:

  • Kittens go to their new homes between 14-16 weeks of age, depending on how they have matured and if they are thriving.
  • Health and emotional maturity are critical factors in determining the timing, ensuring each kitten is fully prepared f.
  • We will schedule your 1:1 kitten pick-up appointment once we are certain your kitten is well-prepared to go home. 
  • Purchase agreements are signed and balances are paid in full at the time of pickup. We will discuss payment options when we schedule your appointment.
