Welcome to Maine Street Coons, where we take pride in connecting our lovingly bred kittens with their forever families. Our unique adoption process ensures that each of our kittens finds the perfect home before they are even born. Here’s how you can become part of our cherished community through our Kitten Waitlist.
The first step to joining our Maine Coon kitten waitlist is to apply to become an Approved Adopter. This includes an online application and a phone conversation. This process helps us ensure our beloved kittens go to safe, loving homes that share our pet care and wellness values. We do our best to keep our waitlist to six months or less.
Once approved, you’ll be added to our Approved Adopter waitlist. You’ll start at the bottom, but don’t worry—we'll inform you how many hopeful adopters are ahead of you and keep you updated on your status as new pregnancies and litters are announced.
Once you near the top of the list, things start to get really exciting. When a litter has one or more available kittens that match your preferences, we’ll reach out to ask if you want to be placed on that litter's Match List. Joining the Match List means you're making a verbal commitment to adopt a kitten out of this litter. From here out, you'll receive personalized weekly updates with photos and videos of your potential kitten(s) until they are between six and seven weeks old.
Once the kittens have been examined by our veterinarian and received their first round of vaccines, we will start the exciting process of matching them with their future families. Should you choose to commit to the kitten offered to you, a $1,000 non-refundable deposit is required to officially reserve your kitten. Should you choose to pass, you can ask to be returned to the top of the waitlist to wait on the next litter.
Becoming a member of the Maine Street Coons family means more than just adopting a pet; it’s joining a community that deeply cares about the well-being and future of each and every kitten born under our roof. If you’re ready to begin this heartfelt journey and meet your new best friend, join our Kitten Waitlist today and take the first step towards adding a bundle of joy to your family. For any further questions or to update your application, feel free to reach out. We're here every step of the way.
Maine Coon cats are often called the dogs of the cat world. Like small lap dogs, they require much time and attention from their guardians and don't do well left alone. These large pedigreed cats also need more space than other cat breeds and are not inexpensive to care for properly. In other words, as adorable as they are, Maine Coon cats just don't suit the teen or college student lifestyle very well. It's best to wait until you have the time and financial means to make a lifetime commitment.
The average lifespan of a Maine Coon is 15 years. Should extenuating circumstances arise, your Maine Coon cat will always have a home here at Maine Street Coons. But our first, and best, choice is to choose owners that can make and keep a lifetime commitment. One critical part of this commitment is maintaining a Trupanion Pet Insurance policy on your kitten for their lifetime. This is a contractual requirement for adopting one of our priceless kittens.
Providing your Maine Coon cat with the proper living conditions, insurance and veterinary care, nutrition, litterbox, pest prevention, grooming, toys, scratching posts, pet-sitting or boarding, and other miscellaneous expenses will run you between $1,000 and $2,000 a year, on average. While we wish money grew on trees, it doesn't. There are long-term expenses involved in caring for a Maine Coon cat that are not suitable for every financial situation.
Domesticated cats are not the same as their wild counterparts, and the great outdoors poses far more danger and threats to your Maine Coon than it's worth. If you believe that cats are happiest when allowed the freedom to roam, we respect your decision, but we are not the breeder for you. Exposure to infectious diseases, parasites, dogs and other predators, snake bites, cars, and mean people are just a few of the reasons we require our cats be kept indoors or in a secured "catio" 100% of the time.
During declawing, sensory and motor nerves in the cat's paw are cut, damaged, and destroyed. Removing claws is just like amputating the first knuckle of your fingers--it is permanently disfiguring and incredibly painful. This unnecessary procedure forever changes the way a cat's foot meets the ground and how the cat walks, leading to lameness, back troubles, and more. Many cats' personalities change as a result of living in chronic pain. We have multiple cats at Maine Street Coons and are able to keep all our belongings intact by trimming nails often, providing scratching posts, and training the right behaviors early.
Because an intact (unspayed or unneutered) cat is subject to health and behavioral issues, we only place kittens in homes that agree to spay or neuter their kitten by seven months, and we never sell our cats with breeding rights.
We promise there is nothing cruel or harmful about spaying or neutering a Maine Coon kitten that is between five and seven months of age. It will not stunt their growth or negatively alter their personality and will save you a ton of heartache and hassle. Sexually mature Maine Coons will mark their territory, attempt to run out the door to pursue a romance, and loudly vocalize their desire to find a mate. Trust us; you won't enjoy any of those things!
When choosing an ethical Maine Coon breeder in Alabama, be sure to consider the health testing, health guarantee, and health insurance offered with your beautiful Maine Coon kitten. At Maine Street Coons, we send every Maine Coon kitten we raise home covered by Trupanion for 30 days at no cost. There are no waiting periods, no exclusions for pre-existing conditions, and all genetic disorders are covered, too! Once the deductible is met, Trupanion pays 90% of all condition-related expenses, including prescription food. It's pretty amazing coverage, and we strongly encourage our pet owners to consider maintaining it throughout their Maine Coon cat's lifetime.
