Maine Coon Cattery FAQs: Ethical Breeding and Kitten Adoption Process

Who is Aristocatic Maine Coons?

Aristocatic Maine Coons is a boutique, ethical Maine Coon cattery focused on temperament, health, structure, and responsible placement. Our kittens are raised in a home environment and socialized from birth.

Yes. Ethical breeding means:

• Health testing breeding cats
• Prioritizing temperament
• Raising kittens in-home
• Providing lifetime breeder support
• Placing kittens responsibly, not quickly

These principles guide every decision we make.

We place kittens with approved families across the United States. For families outside our local area, we offer flight nanny services to major U.S. airports.

Are your kittens purebred Maine Coons?

Yes. Our kittens are purebred Maine Coons from carefully selected lines. We focus on strong structure, calm temperament, and breed type consistent with Maine Coon standards.

Our program emphasizes European-influenced Maine Coon lines known for size, bone structure, and distinctive features, while prioritizing temperament and health.

Our kittens are:

• Born and raised in our home
• Handled daily from birth
• Exposed to household sounds and routines
• Socialized with people and other pets

This early foundation helps produce confident, well-adjusted kittens.

Availability varies by litter. Traits such as color, pattern, and polydactyl genetics depend on current pairings. We encourage families to focus first on temperament and fit.

Are your kittens health tested?

Our breeding cats undergo health screening appropriate for the breed. Kittens receive age-appropriate veterinary care before placement.

How does your adoption process work?

Our adoption process is designed to ensure the right fit for both kitten and family. It includes:

1. Application
2. Conversation and approval
3. Reservation
4. Ongoing updates
5. Adoption day or delivery

This approach helps ensure lifelong success.

Kittens typically go home once they are developmentally ready—after proper weaning, socialization, and vet care.
