There are a couple of ways for you to pick up your kitten:
Kittens are available to be picked up between 15-16 weeks of age and there is a reason for that:
All of a kitten’s nutrition comes from their mother for the first few weeks of life. Kittens are fully weaned usually by 8 weeks, but for the first two, they’re solely drinking their mothers’ milk, which provides antibodies to keep them from getting infections, especially in the first 24 hours, When they’re between 3 and 8 weeks of age, they can start to eat canned and dry foods, but will still need supplemental milk from their moms.
Kittens enter another socialization period around 9 weeks of age, lasting until about week 16. They still continue to learn how to play and interact with other cats and people appropriately, how to use litter box and scratches and by this time they are fully transitioned to their new food.
VACCINATIONS:
Your kitten will begin its series of vaccinations at 8-10 weeks of age. Then booster every 2-3 weeks until 14 - 16 weeks of age.
We provide a health guarantee as a part of your Contract. We guarantee that the kittens are free from FIV/FELV, infectious or contagious diseases and parasites at the time of delivery. All our breeding cats have been DNA tested for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), and Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKDef) through Optimal Selection genetic testing. Your kitten is also guaranteed against any life threatening genetic defect for one year from the date of sale. You can find more details in your Purchase Contract.
Our cattery is our home therefore we have a very limited visitation policy. We have a very strictly maintained virus and disease free environment and we do not allow visiting until our babies have at least first set of vaccinations. We do that to protect our ( and your future) kittens from diseases that can be brought to our home by visitors especially those that have visited other catteries before.
However we are happy to provide you with Face time with your future kitten!
It is hard to predict the size but on average the weight range for mature Maine Coon male is between 14 - 20 lbs. Females are smaller in size and average between 9-14 lbs. Maine Coons are a slow developing breed and typically do not reach their full size until 3-4 years of age.
As stated in your purchase contract the de-clawing of your kitten is prohibited.
Declawing is the amputation of the last bone of each toe. It would be like cutting off your fingers at the last knuckle. The standard method of declawing is amputating with a scalpel or guillotine clipper. The wounds are closed with stitches or surgical glue, and the feet are bandaged.
Declawing can cause paw pain, back pain, infection, tissue necrosis (tissue death) and lameness. Removing claws changes the way a cat's foot meets the ground and can cause pain like wearing an uncomfortable pair of shoes. Improperly removed claws can regrow, causing nerve damage and bone spurs.
Declawing was banned by the Animal Welfare Act 2006, throughout Europe, the UK and some states of America.
