Step One: Join the Waitlist
Your journey begins with an application.
Complete our online application to tell us about your family, lifestyle, other pets, and what you hope to find in a Maine Coon companion.
If we believe Maine Street Coons may be the right fit, we will schedule a personal discovery call. This gives us the opportunity to get to know one another, answer questions, and make sure our approach and expectations align.
Approved families are then invited to join our waitlist.
Step THREE: Watch your litter grow
The waiting becomes part of the story.
When kittens arrive, families being considered for that litter receive a birth announcement with the number of kittens, genders, colors, and patterns.
From there, you will watch them grow with us.
During the early weeks, we share group photos and updates as the kittens grow from fragile neonates to curious wobbly toddlers.
As their personalities begin to emerge, you will receive individual photos, videos, and introductions, along with updates following their veterinary visits.
You will get to know the litter.
We will get to know each kitten.
And all the while, we will be thinking about the match.
Step FIVE: prepare for homecoming
Once the match is made, the countdown begins.
Your kitten agreement and $1,000 holding fee are due by 10 AM the following day. This allows us to continue the matching process thoughtfully for every family.
You will then receive confirmation of your kitten’s homecoming date and appointment time, along with guidance to help you prepare.
Your kitten will remain with us until approximately 14 weeks of age, giving them important much needed time with their mother, littermates, and our family as they continue to grow in confidence, practice good manners, and become fully prepared for life in yours.
During these final weeks, updates become more personal. You will continue to receive photos and videos of your kitten as we prepare them—and you—for the transition ahead.
Your kitten’s homecoming package will be prepared with thoughtfully selected essentials to make the transition easier—including familiar food, top-tier grooming tools, kitten shampoo, toys, a familiar-scented lap quilt, and a personalized folder containing important records and information.
