Every Maine Street Coons kitten is matched with care

We believe in taking our time and creating the perfect match for both you and your new furry family member. Our hands-on, high-touch adoption process is designed to ensure the needs and personalities of your Maine Coon kitten and your human family are thoughtfully considered. 

Our kittens are always in demand, so joining our wait list is the only way to bring one home.

• Average wait times are six to nine months; but vary based on nature's plans
• Wait list spots are limited; when the list starts to get too long, we temporarily close it
• Applicants who are flexible and open-minded have the shortest wait times

• Thoughtfully complete our online application
• Participate in a no-obligation Discovery Call 
• Claim your spot on our wait list, if approved

• Receive personalized updates on changes in wait list status and your progress in line
• Get informed when we have a litter match for you,  the expected due date range,  and the approximate kitten count

• Get notified when your litter is born; learn how many kittens  arrived, their genders, and colors
• Receive weekly group photos and updates as kittens develop from one to nine weeks
• Get to know every kitten through individual introductions and personality assessments
• Receive litter health updates and short videos after each trip to the veterinarian
• Keep an open mind but let us know where your heart is drawn as the weeks go by

We match kittens with their forever families when they are nine weeks old, on the Saturday following their second vet visit, in this order:

• We pick first, this is essential to maintain our bloodlines.
• Next, we match families adopting sibling pairs.
• Existing Maine Street Coons' owners adopting another kitten are matched after that.
• We work down the rest of the wait list in the order that individuals joined.

We will contact you via text to share our personalized recommendation, which takes into account your preferences, each kitten's temperament, and our intuition about overall chemistry. 

• You have 24 hours from the time we contact you to accept or decline your match.
• We are happy to hop on a call /video chat to discuss any questions you might have.
• You're not obligated to accept the kitten offered; you can pass on a kitten that is offered to you once and still remain at the top of the wait list.

We send you a reservation agreement via email the same day you say "Yes!"

• You have until 10AM the following day to e-sign the agreement and pay the holding fee
• We will not keep others waiting, so please respond timely!
• The reservation agreement will specify the planned pick-up date; please let us know if you prefer a morning (9-12) or afternoon (1-4) appointment. Appointments are 45 minutes long.
• If you need to make special arrangements for pickup, just let us know. We are happy to accommodate whenever possible.

• Once we receive your e-signed agreement and holding fee, we will counter sign and send you a congratulatory email with all the information you need to prepare for a seamless homecoming, including your pickup appointment date and time.
• Be sure to go ahead and make an appointment for your kitten's mandatory wellness visit with your veterinarian to occur within 72-hours of pickup. Many practices need several weeks notice to accommodate new patient appointments.
• Expect a separate email from Royal Canin with our food recommendations and a coupon for 35% off your first purchase.
• Receive individual photos and video updates via text on a more frequent basis to keep you connected as your kitten grows.
• Let us know when you settle on a name! We like kittens to become familiar with their new names before going home, whenever possible.
