Are your kittens purebred Maine Coons?

Yes! Every one of our breeding cats are purebred Maine Coons. Each cat is registered with The International Cat Association (TICA) and has at least a five generation pedigree.

How do I buy a Maine Coon kitten from Heritage Springs?

The first step in adopting a Maine Coon kitten from Heritage Springs is to fill out the kitten application. Once approved, you may choose from Available Kittens, join our waitlist for $100 fee (the fee will go toward the purchase your kitten), or wait and see if the perfect kitten comes along! When you are ready to reserve your kitten, you may do so with a 30% deposit and a signed contract. Check out our adoption process for more details, and feel free to send us a message if you still have questions.

Why are there “reserved” kittens on your Available Kittens page?

Reserved kittens are kittens that are still in our cattery because they are too young to go home, but they have been spoken for. They are still on the Available Kittens page in case the new owner has a change in circumstances and they choose not to take ownership of their kitten. This does not happen often, but it does happen. Once the kitten goes home, they will be marked as “sold” and will be removed from the Available Kittens page.

Do you sell adult Maine Coon cats?

Sometimes we have adult Maine Coon cats that need a new home. These could be retirees from our breeding program or kittens we kept back for observation who ended up not being selected for our program for one reason or another. If you are interested in an adult cat, please fill out a kitten application and let us know you are looking for an adult cat. You will be added to our adult cat waiting list. Re-homing fees apply.

Are your kittens healthy?

Every cat who is brought into our cattery is first quarantined while they undergo a series of health tests. Once complete, they are evaluated by our veterinarian before they are introduced to the rest of our cats. Then, every cat is genetically screened to ensure they are not carriers of any genetic diseases before they are selected for our breeding program.

Because Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is so prevalent among Maine Coons, all of our breeding cats, in addition to being cleared from the gene that contributes to the development of HCM are also screened annually by a board-certified cardiologist.

We take every precaution to ensure our cats produce the healthiest kittens possible. While it is impossible to guarantee kittens will live their entire lives without illness, we do our absolute best to ensure they are off to a great start!

In addition to all this, Heritage Springs gives all new kitten owners a free month of Trupanion Health Insurance for their new kitten. This offer can be activated between 24 hours prior to obtaining the kitten (recommended) to 24 hours after bringing their kitten home. Please look at the Trupanion website to understand what is covered, and talk to a Trupanion representative if you have any questions. We strongly suggest you take advantage of the free trial!

How much do your Maine Coon kittens cost?

Our Maine Coon kittens cost between $2,500 and $3,500. Our Maine Coons are priced individually when they are a month old. During their first month, we watch their features develop. Some kittens may exhibit traits that align with show standards and are priced accordingly; however we do not guarantee they will win at shows.

Are deposits refundable?

No. Deposits are not refundable. If, however, your circumstances change and you are unable to take ownership of your kitten, you may choose to put the amount you paid toward a future kitten.

Do you deliver?

Yes! We do offer delivery. The cost of delivery depends on how far away you are located. Your kitten may need a health certificate and other documentation depending on where it is going, but we will work with you individually to help you figure out all of those details.

Do you offer any discounts?

Yes. We offer three discounts:

The first discount is for purchasing multiple kittens at the same time (either from the same litter or two separate litters that are born close to the same time.) This discount is 10% off the price of two kittens. In order to take advantage of this discount, both kittens must be picked up or shipped on the same date.

The second discount is for returning customers. Returning customers receive $200 off future kitten purchases. If returning customers choose to purchase two kittens at the same time, they may qualify for both discounts.

The third discount is for referring a customer to us who purchases a kitten. For each referral, we will either discount a kitten you are currently or purchasing by $100 or you will receive a $100 credit toward the purchase of a future kitten.

What kind of personality do Maine Coons have?

Every cat is unique, but Maine Coons are known as the Gentle Giants of the animal kingdom. They generally have sweet, laid back temperaments, and are known for being social and friendly cats. The Maine Coons at Heritage Springs are well-socialized with children, adults, cats, and dogs so they should do well in just about any type of home.

What do you feed Maine Coon kittens?

Maine Coons are a slow-growing breed and should be fed only kitten food until they are 15 months old. The best diet for Maine Coon kittens is to feed a can of high-quality wet kitten food in the morning and at night. Cats do not have the same thirst receptors that humans do so feeding them wet food ensures they get enough water in their diet. In addition to the morning and evening meal, a high protein dry kitten food should be made available to them at all times.
