While many of our clients live in the Southeast, we have placed kittens as far north as Vermont and as far west as California. We are looking for the very best homes for our kittens we can find, wherever those might be!
Important Purchase Considerations

The average lifespan of a Maine Coon is 13-15 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. For this reason, we do not sell our kittens as gifts. The primary and permanent owner must be the person to complete the application and go through the interview process.
Do you have the financial means to provide proper care?

If you find it difficult to pay for your kitten upfront, you will find it even more difficult to care for them long-term. Providing a Maine Coon cat with the mandatory pet health insurance and veterinary care, high-quality nutrition, extra large litterbox, pest prevention, grooming, toys, scratching posts, pet-sitting or boarding, and other miscellaneous expenses will run you between $1,500 and $2,000 a year, minimum.

Are you amenable to maintaining a pet insurance policy?
Maintaining a pet insurance policy on your kitten for their lifetime is a contractual requirement for adopting one of our beloved kittens. Despite all the health testing we do, and the excellent care we provide our kittens before they go home, health conditions can and do arise which can be very costly to treat. We never want one of our babies to suffer, or see their life ended prematurely, for financial reasons.
Do you plan to spay or neuter your Maine Coon kitten?

Are you amenable to maintaining a pet insurance policy?
We only place our kittens in pet homes that agree to have them spayed or neutered by nine months of age, 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 at the proper 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.

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.
Can you handle an indoor cat with all its claws?

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. There are many ways to prevent excessive damage from cat claws that are far more humane.
