  • If you are interested in one of our current kittens or would like to be put on our waiting list please contact us through our Contact page.

    Once you have decided to get one of our kittens from a current or future litter we will complete a contract and deposit.

    Kitten picks are done around 5 weeks old in order of deposit received.

    Kittens can go home after they are 14 weeks old, at our discretion. We will release them once they are fully vaccinated and we feel they are ready to join their new families.

  • Our kittens range from $2,500 up. Price depends on breeding pair, if theyโ€™re polydactyl, their coloring, sex, and if registration is for pet, show or breeding.

  • All of our Kings and Queens have clear genetic tests and are free from disease. Our kittens come with a health guarantee and are vet checked, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations before going home.

  • We are a TICA registered cattery and all of our kittens are TICA registered.

  • We do offer transportation if needed. We can meet you at the Spokane International Airport at no cost or deliver your new kitten to you for an additional fee.

  • Kittens need a calm, low-pressure start in their new home. Expect a mix of play, sleep, and a little uncertainty at first. Everything is new to them, so let your kitten choose when and how to interact. Avoid rushing introductions to other pets and allow time to settle in.

    For the first one to two weeks, set up a small, quiet area for your kitten. This helps reduce stress and builds strong litter box habits. Keep food and bedding separate from the litter box, and choose a location where the litter box can remain long term.

    Supervise all interactions with children. Teach kids to be gentle, allow the kitten to move away freely, and never force handling. When a kitten hisses, hides, or swats, itโ€™s a clear sign they need space.

    Provide approved outlets for natural behaviors. A scratching post or cat tree is essential, especially one that allows climbing and height. Vertical space helps kittens feel secure and confident.

    Daily play is important, but always use toys rather than hands. Wand toys help burn energy without teaching kittens to treat hands as play objects.

    Trim nails regularly while your kitten is young and begin gentle handling early. Short, calm sessions during rest time work best and help create positive grooming habits.

    Positive reinforcement is the most effective way to guide behavior. Redirect unwanted actions, reward good choices immediately, and avoid yelling or punishment. Consistency matters more than intensity.

    Most cats prefer moving water, so a fountain often encourages better hydration and reduces mess.

    Maine Coon kittens thrive on a high-quality, protein-rich diet that supports their fast growth and large frame. Choose premium kitten food made with real animal protein and essential nutrients like taurine and DHA. A combination of wet and dry food is often ideal for hydration and balanced nutrition. Avoid fillers and artificial ingredients.
