How to get a Maine Coon from CottenPuffs?

July 12, 2025

Simply email, text, call us at the info listed on our website or Facebook page. We are very responsive and want to get to know you! We encourage you to tell us a little about yourself and why you want a Maine Coon Kitten. Don't forget to tell us your sex and color preference.  Our Maine Coon cats and kittens are VERY important to us! We hand-raise each and every Maine Coon kitten ourselves, along with their momma, of course! We love getting to know our families that adopt, and encourage texts, calls, and pictures of your cat throughout their lives. If you’ve never owned a Maine Coon kitten, we will gladly help you through the process, and hope that you will become a cat lover just like us! Most of our  Maine Coon kittens are sold as pets only; and therefore will be spayed/neutered before delivery/pickup.

​

Once we’ve gotten acquainted via email, phone, or FB Messenger, we can talk about what you’re looking for… color, sex, and personality of your dream Maine Coon Kitten. If you choose to do so, you will be placed on our Notification List, which holds no obligation.  There is no order to this list as we take placing our kittens in the best-suited homes for the people and the pets. Throughout the process, we keep in touch about upcoming litters, which are always announced on FB and our website.  We do not take deposits without having an available kitten for you.  We feel this is an unethical practice.  When you are ready to choose your kitten contact me about it's availability.   Once you fall in love, there is $500 non-refundable deposit required.  If your kitten purchase falls through for any reason, your deposit can be moved to a future litter. See pricing for individual kittens on our Available Kittens Page.  See our "general" pricing guideline below.

Why are Maine Coons so expensive?

This is my #1 Question.

Exceptional Quality Is Not Expensive, It's Priceless!

Personally, I feel no breeder should ever have to justify their pricing, but this is my number one question I am asked after the shock wears of from hearing the price of a Maine Coon, so therefore, I feel I need to explain a little of what goes into my pricing decisions. Above you can see a list of what I include with every kitten.  Quality cats are expensive to buy, expensive to maintain, and expensive to breed. When looking at purchasing a kitten, you can't just consider the cost of the kitten but a breeder's overall expenses and time to just obtain that litter. I have traveled all over the US and even brought in cats from different countries to provide a quality line, maintain the breed standards, and keep all my cats and kittens healthy. Owning a Maine Coon Cat is a luxury. These are high-quality cats and are very different from your average domestic cat. Not only do they meet a rigid set of physical standards, but they are also known for their incredibly intelligent and affectionate nature. Breeders put a lot of time and care into raising healthy, beautiful kittens. Here is just a sampling of a breeders costs:

• Genetic Screening: Maine Coons are prone to several different genetic health conditions, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, polycystic kidney disease, spinal muscular atrophy, and erythrocyte pyruvate kinase deficiency. This means that breeders have to pay for screenings to determine whether or not their breeding cats can pass any of these diseases to their young.

• Stud Fee: Some breeders will choose to purchase and keep their own stud cat, which can be expensive enough on its own. When purchasing a cat for breeding, you must pay an extra breeding fee. Many breeders choose instead to “rent” a high-quality stud, often a show cat, who will then breed with their female. 

• Purchasing A Breeding Cat: Breeders will also need a queen, which will also cost around $4,000 for a high-quality cat with a strong lineage as well as a breeding fee.

• High-Quality Food: Maine Coon Cats are voracious eaters, and because of their large size, they require special diets. These cats cannot thrive on low-quality food, which is often filled with grains and other filler calories. Instead, Maine Coons require diets that are high in protein. The breeders need to buy high-quality food for their breeding cats, as well as for weaned kittens. I choose to feed a balanced raw diet, supplementing with vitamins as needed, and special treats.

• Vaccinations: Breeders also need to vaccinate their breeding cats, as well as all of their kittens. Kittens require several rounds of shots, which can cost a lot when you’re vaccinating an entire litter several times!

• Vet Checkups: A good breeder always puts the health of their cats and kittens first. This means that all kittens will need several vet checkups to ensure they are growing properly. Kittens are known for being fragile, as their bodies and immune systems are not fully developed yet. This means they are prone to developing infections and other illnesses as they grow, which breeders are responsible for taking care of for their first few weeks of life.

• Kitten Registration Fees: Good breeders are also registered by the CFA, TICA, or another reputable association. Furthermore, each kitten requires a registration fee in order to be considered a proper pedigree.

• Microchips: Microchips are an essential way to ensure your cat can be returned to you safely, and sound. If your cat should run away or even be stolen, vets and humane societies can take a look at your cat’s microchip to return it to its proper owner.

• Spaying Or Neutering: It is becoming more and more common for breeders to spay or neuter their kittens before giving them to their forever home. These surgeries can cost up to $200 per kitten!

• Quality Living Conditions: Breeders also strive to provide clean and humane conditions for their cats and kittens. Pregnant and nursing queens need a space that feels warm and secure. Some breeders even need to build separate spaces for stud cats, who are prone to spraying since they are not neutered.

• Paperwork And Documentation: Breeders also need to provide new owners with the proper paperwork and documentation citing that their cat is registered with a cat fancier organization. Sometimes this can even include family trees.

• Medical Care For Pregnant Cats: Pregnant and nursing queens are prone to all sorts of problems and require regular checkups. These cats also require more extensive care while they are pregnant and nursing.

• Emergency Care: Breeders must also be prepared to pay for any emergency care. If kittens become extremely ill or injured, they must incur veterinary costs. They may even need to pay for emergency C-sections if something goes wrong during the pregnancy.
