When you pick up a kitten or cat, please be prepared we do advise you on kittens or cat preferences but in new situation they may act different: Cats of all ages tend to shut down and go into "slow mode" during travel, some get car sick some love it. A new kitten, even an outgoing, gregarious kitten, may seem shy when they first arrive. Partly this is a coming back to full Speed process and partly being faced with a multitude of new experiences all at once. Start the kitten out in a small space that can be just theirs for a while (we recommend 2 weeks so they can bond and be sure of them self's). A bathroom connected to your bedroom or other quiet place is good. They should have a litter box, water and food available. A secure bed is a good idea. The carrier that the kitten travels in is a good choice if there is space for it. As the kitten settles in open the door and let him explore nearby rooms a little at a time. As the kitten starts exploring, show them the way back to their litter box occasionally. All of our kittens are litter trained, but little guys can get lost at first. If you have a large home, a kitten may need a litter box in more than one place. If you are a kitten just starting out with this stuff, it can be a long way back to the litter box. A good way to introduce a kitten into the larger, more exciting home is to put it in its carrier and sit the carrier in the middle of things. The kitten will hear and see everything, get used to the smells and noises. When the kitten gets used to things, they are going to want out. Open their door and let them explore the area. They can always run back to their safe carrier if they need to. Note Stressful situations, such as a new home, may illicit temporary signs of illness in the Cat which may include sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, or diarrhea /constipation. To reduce stress, especially the first few days in his or her new adoptive home, feed the Cat the same food as the Breeder has been using and offer bottled water. Introduce family members and other pets slowly for short periods at one time over several days or even weeks. Remember that the Cat may be frightened and does not understand what is happening to him or her. Keeping the kitty in a quiet spot with a little nest for a few days will give the Cat time to assimilate to his or her new life. It is recommended that the Cat remain quarantined for 14 days without contact with other cats to allow any possible incubating illness to present. Do not use any plastic dishes for food or water as it may cause allergy.

How Much Do Maine Coon Kittens Cost? If you have set your heart on owning a Maine Coon kitten, you might be in for a shock when you ask a breeder how much does a Maine Coon kitten cost. On average, the cost of a Maine Coon kitten is between $2500 - $5000. Why are Maine Coon cats so expensive? Maine Coons are one of the most expensive cat breeds you can buy! A kitten’s price is determined by its quality, age, health, pedigree status, and vaccination history. Maine Coon cats purchased for show purposes cost significantly more. They make great family pets and are ideally suited to families with young children due to their calm, non-aggressive temperament. There is huge demand for Maine coon kittens. When there are more buyers then there are kittens, then the price goes up. Some breeders have waiting lists that are 1-2 years long. This proves high demand and low supply for Maine Coon kittens. Although cheaper Maine Coon kittens might initially appear like bargains, potential owners should be aware of hidden health issues. Unknown health issues could cost owners significantly more money in the long run, and could mean the lifespan of the cat will be far less than average. The cost of a Maine Coon kitten is dependent upon the quality of the kitten purchased. High-quality kittens with impeccable health records, a full and completed vaccination history, and all-important official purebred pedigree certifications will be charged at a higher rate. Individuals interested in purchasing kittens for breeding, or show purposes should expect to pay towards the top end of the Maine Coon kitten price range. This is because breeding and showing kittens are high-quality examples of the Maine Coon breed. Their pedigree status is also well known, and their health records are immaculate. No one wants to buy an unhealthy Maine Coon kitten that will need extensive medical treatment during its lifespan, and cost an owner significant vet bills. Consequently, buyers should expect to pay significantly more for Maine Coon kittens that have a great health record. Before buying a Maine Coon kitten, make sure that: A veterinary professional has given the kitten a clean bill of health. (Buyers should expect to pay more for kittens with a proven health record). Request evidence that breeding cats were scanned for genetic diseases, before being allowed to produce offspring. This is particularly important since buyers need to ensure that their kitten is not a carrier of a genetic defect that may cause health issues in the future. It is vital that all Maine Coon kittens are vaccinated against harmful illnesses, to prevent them from developing unwanted health issues. Therefore, kittens with full vaccination records will inevitably cost more, since more money has been invested in their health. Before buying your Maine Coon kitten Request a copy of the kitten’s full vaccination history from the breeder. If you are purchasing your Maine Coon kitten from a registered breeder, expect to be given pedigree certification paperwork. This certification is extremely important since it confirms that the kitten you are buying has ‘purebred’ status. Without this paperwork, an owner cannot truly know if their kitten’s genes are mixed, or not. Certified Maine Coon kittens cost significantly more than non certified kittens. Owners that knowingly buy Maine Coon kittens with mixed genetics, need to be aware that their kitten might not share the more common physical and personality characteristics of the Maine Coon cat breed. Buyer Tip: If a breeder cannot provide purebred status certification paperwork for a kitten, cancel the transaction immediately. Especially if the breeder is charging in the upper range of the Maine Coon kitten price bracket. Registered Maine Coon breeders incur far higher breeding costs than their non-registered breeder counterparts or backyard breeders. If you buy from a registered breeder, expect to pay a higher rate for your kitten. Reasons why registered breeders incur higher costs: They feed their cats and kittens a high-quality food diet, which costs more. This specialized diet ensures their cats get the nutrients and vitamins their bodies need, to operate at optimal health levels. Registering as an official breeder is expensive. They register their kittens officially, thus incurring costs. Ensure kittens are given all the vaccinations they need, before being sold. They care deeply about the breed, so only buy their cat’s high-quality toys and cat towers. Registered breeders tend to breed cats within their own homes, so need more space to breed their litters. By contrast, a backyard breeder isn’t fanatical about the breed, so isn’t interested in their cat’s welfare. Consequently, they often keep their cats and kittens outside, in poor quality conditions. Registered breeders test their breeding cats for genetic defects, before breeding from them. This ensures that all kittens produced have a clean bill of health, with no underlying health issues. Healthy Maine Coon kittens command a higher price. Level of care given to Maine Coon cats Cost of cat products Everybody’s personal preferences are different, therefore certain Maine Coon colorings will always be more popular than others. Supply and demand are thus keys in price discussions since it determines the cost of a Maine Coon kitten.There are more than 85 Maine Coon colors and patterns. For example, silver shaded Maine Coons are in high demand right now. The same thing applies to solid white, blue-eyed, polydactyl Maine Coons. Where To Buy A Maine Coon Kitten? The ideal place to buy a Maine Coon kitten is from a registered breeder. Whilst you may pay a higher rate for your kitten, you have peace of mind that the kitten is free of genetic defects, and a legitimate Maine Coon kitten. Unfortunately, with their rise in popularity and expensive price tag, there is an ever-increasing wave of sellers trying to make a quick buck out of unsuspecting buyers. Maine Coon kittens have always commanded a high price due to their pedigree status, and huge popularity levels across the world. If you can afford one, make the Maine Coon cat top of your priority list because you will never find a more loving, clever, and affectionate cat breed in your life. Maine Coons also make great family pets and are known for being good with young children. In fact, rather than running a mile from noisy kids (like normal cat breeds), you will actually find your Maine Coon wants to spend as much time with its human family as possible! For those of you that are worried about how a Maine Coon would integrate with other pets within your household, don’t be. Unlike other cat breeds, the Maine Coons are highly adaptable and friendly. They have a reputation for getting on with other pets too.
