OUR STORY

At Whiskercoons, we take immense pride in breeding and nurturing the majestic Maine Coon breed. Our passion for these gentle giants, renowned for their friendly nature and captivating charm, drives us to raise kittens that are a perfect embodiment of their remarkable lineage. My love for the breed began many years ago while working at a veterinary clinic while in art school. I adopted a kitten that a breeder did not want and I didn’t even know what breed it was or that he was a Maine Coon. I was shocked as he grew into this amazing long haired cat from this scrawny little kitten that I thought was short-haired average house cat. He was magnificent and had the most lovable personality. I named him Mortimer a Red Tabby Maine Coon, from that moment on I was hooked on the breed and that has persisted ever since.

SPAYING AND NUETERING

All kittens undergo spaying or neutering procedures before leaving our cattery, and this cost is integrated into the kitten's overall price. We are currently not selling kittens with breeding rights. We are developing our lines for showing and as pets - someday we will.

Prospective pet owners are required to sign a pet contract.

HOW MUCH DOES A MAINECOON KITTEN COST?

Several factors contribute to the pricing of kittens. Notably, the cost of high-quality breeding animals, genetically tested for diseases, is substantial. This is particularly true when pedigrees that are highly sought after or imported. Consideration must also be given to the expenses related to premium food, supplements, suitable facilities for raising healthy animals, vaccines, routine and emergency veterinary care, genetic testing, and show exhibitions.

We are especially proud that our ​breeding c​ats and they are screened for HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) and Hip Dysplasia.

W​hiskercoons cannot guarantee that a cat will never have this condition, but we are dedicated to making every effort to produce the healthiest Maine Coon kittens possible.

I highly recommend NO declawing. Our kittens and cats have been trained to use a scratching post and will not scratch furniture if provided with one.

PRICING BREAKDOWN:

• Once kittens are about 6-8 weeks, we match people with the applications we have received and they are notified that they will have 24 hours to decide if they want the kitten or I will move on to the next inquirer.
