Important Adoption Information

Adoption Process

It's a pretty simple process: I review your application, get to know you a bit, and pre-approve you for a kitten.

Please fill out an application here on our website. Please remember your application date.

Due to COVID-19, there will be no more in-home visits, but we will have a Zoom call when the babies are 5~6 weeks old in order for you to see where your kitten was born and raised. It's important that we have your trust.

At this time, you are able to pick the kitten.

This is when you can send a $300 deposit on the chosen one, PayPal-FRIEND and FAMILY ONLY, cashier's check, or personal check at least two weeks before you pick up the kitten. We ONLY take Cash or Cashier's Check at Pick-Up. ANYONE NOT PICKING UP THEIR KITTEN AND PAYING IN FULL BY THE AGREED DATE MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE KITTEN PAGE AND NOT ALLOWED TO BUY FROM NACOONZI CATTERY.

Kittens are handled from the time they are born and raised underfoot to ensure proper socialization. Because we raise them underfoot, they are extremely socialized and should blend easily into your family.

We do reserve the right to turn down a purchase should we feel the purchaser is not a good match or find the environment is proper.

We ask for you to be patient, as we know some breeders release kittens at 8 weeks old, but we feel they are losing out on important lessons from mom and siblings.

****Please note, we sell indoor-only pets. We do NOT sell breeders.****

Please friend me on Facebook, Maine Coon kittens of Nacoonzi, so you can see previous kittens sold and what the families are saying.

Most of our breeders come from top show catteries in Europe. We are trying to bring that gorgeous bloodline to the USA.

Our first concern is health, so we do tests to rule out HCM and other genetic defects. All our cats are fed the very best food, which we feel is the Purina Pro Plan with important supplements added. Next is temperament, and finally, size.

Deposits are non-refundable and go toward the full purchase price of your kitten, which is:

  • Regular Pawed Kitten
  • Regular Color Kitten
  • All Polydactyl
  • All Smoke or Dilute
  • Poly Dilute Smoke
  • Silver Shaded
  • Red Shaded

We also do the very expensive Echo Cardio grams to ensure there is no HCM (most breeders do NOT do this test). Please do your homework and ask other breeders to show you Pedigrees and proof of testing to protect yourself from getting a kitten who could become ill and die early. Unfortunately, there are breeders who do not test, and you are taking a huge risk of having very large Vet bills down the road.

Kittens leave us with a very long list of things that include:

  • A vet check health certificate (All kittens are seen by the vet before being released)
  • Their first shot (You get hard copy proof)
  • Dewormed twice (Documented on the health folder you get)
  • Blanket
  • Nail clippers
  • Toys
  • Personalized handy bag
  • Sales agreement with 1-year guarantee against genetic defects*
  • 30 days FREE Trupanion pet insurance
  • Matching harness and leash
  • Food
  • Activated micro-chip
  • Grooming Tool
  • Continuing advice on our private Facebook kitten page

We want this to be a positive experience. We are always just an email or phone call away if you have any questions or concerns throughout the life of your kitten. I try to notify you when litters come, but I would recommend you watch our website because I do announce new litters and post pictures. www.oregonmainecoon.com

We ask that you take the time now and then to send us updated pictures of the kittens, either by email or posting on our Facebook group, so we may share them with all other Nacoonzi Cattery cat/kitten owners.

By sending us pictures, you are giving us permission to post those pictures on social media.

Please fill out our Kitten Adoption Application to get started. We look forward to meeting you!

We have added into our health agreement for you to continue NuVet lab vitamins with your kitten/s in order to make the guarantee valid.

Breeding & Kitten Socialization Schedule

We have a schedule with structured socialization, flea baths, shots, deworming, and general grooming. Here's how we break it down:

  • 1 week before the queen delivers, she is put in our bedroom with a handmade birthing box~
  • We observe and assist if needed on every delivery~
  • The queen and her kittens stay in our bedroom for 3 weeks~
  • At 3 weeks, they are transferred to one of the nurseries~
  • At 5 weeks, the socialization begins as we allow them in the upstairs area all waking hours, at bedtime, we put them back in the nursery with Mom~
  • At 7 weeks, we open the downstairs to give them more room to explore and back in the nursery at night~

Other scheduled things:

  • Allowed to nurse until Mom weans them~
  • Flea bath at 6 weeks~
  • Vet strength wormer at 6 weeks old~
  • First shot at 8 weeks old~
  • Pictures taken and put on the website starting at 5 weeks old~

**** DUE TO COVID-19, THERE WILL NOT BE ANY IN-HOME VISITS STARTING AT 5 WEEKS OF AGE, WE WILL BEGIN ZOOM CALLS.
