What happens once you have officially reserved your kitten?

We understand how exciting this time is and how long it can seem to wait for your furry bundle of joy to be ready to join your family. We want to make this process enjoyable for you, and also we truly believe it is important for you to get to know your kitten like we do.

1. You will receive weekly updates and pictures of your kitten

2. Kept in the loop of all milestones hit (like weight gain, growth, first bath, grooming, eating, litter training, etc). Pictures or videos will be taken when possible.

3. Video chats with your fur baby bi-weekly

4. Notified of vet visits and health testing.

5. If other pets are in your home, you will be mailed a small blanket smelling of your new kitten to put out in your home. This will help other pets in the home to become familiar with the kitten’s scent before they arrive.

Important facts to be aware of:

• If a kitten’s health testing comes back with any concerning results, you will be notified immediately. You then have the choice to keep the kitten, decline the kitten, choose a new kitten from upcoming litters, or take a full refund of your deposit.

• We will keep any kitten in the cattery past the 16 weeks if any illness or any concerns arise, kittens will stay in the cattery until they are 100% ready to be re-homed. The kitten’s health and wellbeing will always be a Number 1 priority at Charlie and the Maine Coon Cattery.

• Kittens will be released to their new families once all vaccinations and health testing are completed, usually between 14 - 16 weeks old.

• If for whatever reason you cannot take your kitten home within a week once ready to be released, there will be an additional charge of $25/day until the kitten is picked up, delivered or shipped.
