We do not have a waiting list and don’t plan on adding one. We believe in personal approach when it comes to adopting. Having a spot on waiting list would not guarantee application approval – because we believe that adding any pet into your family is MORE than just “adoption”. It’s a commitment, emotionally and financially.
Depending on amount of pets you currently have at your residence, their temper, neuter/spay status and your schedule, we’ll decide whether it’s a good idea to let you adopt our kitten/kittens. Petlovers are welcome, but owning a pet requires more than love.
We do not require families to feed a raw diet. We recommend and that’s all we can do. After the pick up, it becomes your responsibility to pick the best diet for your Maine Coon Kitten. It doesn’t mean we don’t care, but at the same time we can’t dictate what to feed your kitten. It’s a choice of every family to follow our advice or not.
***Note***
When bringing one of our kittens home, every family gets our homemade raw mix + wet/dry food. It’s necessary to make a smooth transition in order to avoid GI issues and stress. We expect families to take it slow first week and let kitten adjust at his/her own pace. On our side, we provide with all needed supplies and 24/7 support.
