Our all-inclusive kitten adoption fee is $3,800, sitting at the mid-range of the national average price range of $2,500 - $5,500. Our pricing reflects the exceptional quality, care, and lifelong support that come with every kitten. Here’s what sets us apart:
Maine Street Coons offers a comprehensive and generous health guarantee. Here are the highlights:
Despite everything we do to ensure the genetic health of our kittens, life is unpredictable and things can and do go wrong. We never want any of our cats or kittens to go without necessary care or be euthanized due to the expenses associated with diagnostic, surgical, or specialty care. The best way for us to ensure owners can afford to provide our precious babies with everything they need medically is to require pet insurance that covers illness, injuries, accidents, and even dental care.
We run a small program where kittens are thoughtfully planned and generally have homes waiting for them long before they are born. Very rarely do kittens become available that are not an ideal match for someone already waiting on our Approved Families List.
How long you will wait depends on how specific or flexible you are in regards to gender and color. We do our best to refer anyone who would have to wait more than nine months for their kitten to be born to other reputable breeders in our trusted network.

We collect a $1,000 non-refundable holding fee to reserve a kitten specifically for you or your family. At the time of purchase, the holding fee is applied to the purchase price, making your balance due at pickup $2,800. We do not want anyone to lose money or spend money on something they later regret, so please do not commit to a kitten unless you and the other decision-makers in your life are all on board and 100% committed to moving forward with the purchase.
Maine Street Coons preferred payment methods for the holding fee are Zelle and CashApp. We also accept payment via Venmo and PayPal (friends and family only). Final payment is expected to be paid in cash at the time of pickup.
Yes, we allow pre-approved adopters to visit our home, by appointment. We want you to feel incredibly comfortable making a commitment to Maine Street Coons, so we are happy to show you where your kitten will be born and raised and introduce you to some of our adult cats. We all work full-time jobs and have a tremendous amount of work to do caring for our home and cats, so we ask you be respectful and visit only if you're serious about moving forward.
How about one of each? All joking aside, you really can’t go wrong with a Maine Coon kitten of either sex. Maine Street Coons’ males and females are equally outgoing, inquisitive, affectionate, and adorable—each with their own personality. Because your kitten will be spayed or neutered before they become hormonally mature, you will not have to deal with hormonally-induced behaviors with either sex. The only real difference is that male Maine Coons tend to be about 20% larger than their female counterparts.
No. While many breeders insist on spaying or neutering their kittens before they leave, we choose to carefully select adopters we trust to comply with our requirement to spay or neuter their kittens when they are old enough to do so safely. Maine Coons are more sensitive to anesthesia than many breeds of pedigreed cats, and are also prone to certain orthopedic conditions and injuries that are linked to early spay or neuter. Waiting until they are sexually mature (typically between nine months and a year old) significantly reduces the risk of anesthesia-related complications, avascular necrosis, and hip dysplasia.
Maine Street Coons' kittens stay with Mama Cat and their siblings until they are approximately 14 weeks old and ready to make a healthy transition to your home. We know it's hard to wait.But taking home a happy, healthy, confident kitten that is fully vaccinated, well-behaved, and prepared for the exciting changes that lie ahead is worth it!
At Maine Street Coons, our breeding cats tend to sit in the high-end of the average range for the breed, with excellent boning, heavy muscle, and good overall proportions and balance. For males, that is 16 to 20+ pounds when fully mature. Females are smaller than males but much larger than the average house cat, typically weighing 11-15 pounds as adults. That being said, size is never guaranteed and is not a part of the evaluation criteria we use for matching kittens with their forever homes.
With proper care, Maine Coons can live into their mid-teens.
Yes, Maine Coon cats get along well with well-behaved, friendly dogs and most other breeds of household cats, with a few exceptions. Before bringing home any kitten, it is imperative that you have full command of your dog to include a strong recall capability.
Yes, our kittens integrate seamlessly into family homes with people of all ages. We take pride in the extensive socialization of our kittens and their resulting love for family life.
We strongly prefer that our clients make arrangements to travel to our home for pickup. Visiting a breeder is the best way to avoid being scammed and to be sure you are not supporting unethical backyard breeding practices.
Homecoming Day is exciting and we want your experience to be rewarding and memorable! Your appointment will be for 45 minutes. You should plan to spend most, if not all, of that time with us. We promise to be well-prepared and focused on you and your kitten while you're here. For this reason, we ask that you show up on time — not early or late! We don't mean to be sticklers, but we time things carefully to make it less stressful for your antsy kitten and to show respect to the other pet buyers scheduled before or after you.
Sometimes we do. The best way to learn about available retirees is by following us on social media.
Yes, we do. If you like the unique look of a polydactyl Maine Coon, please let us know. Our poly kittens are absolutely gorgeous with excellent conformation to the breed standard.
No, polydactyly (having extra toes) in Maine Coon cats is not harmful. Well-bred Maine Coons with polydactyly can live long, happy, and healthy lives, just like their normal-toed siblings. Here's why polydactyly in Maine Coons is not a cause for concern:
No. Blue eyes are not allowed per the Maine Coon breed standard (except in white cats), and the dominant blue eye gene (in non-white cats) is associated with increased health risks including total deafness and the feline version of Waardenburg syndrome, which is linked to fetal and premature death. All Maine Coon kittens have blue eyes at birth but these transition to gold, green, or copper by the time they go home. If you have your heart set on a longhaired cat with blue eyes, we highly recommend considering a Ragdoll or Birman.
No, we do not. Maine Street Coons preservation breeding program focuses on breeding healthy, happy, high-end kittens for adoption into loving pet homes.
