Adoption Process
Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our European Maine Coon kittens! We take pride in raising healthy, well-socialized kittens and placing them in loving, permanent homes.
Our Adoption Process is simple, transparent, and focused on creating the best match between a kitten and its future family.
How our Adoption Process Works
First-Come Adoption (No Traditional Waitlist)
Kittens are adopted on a first-come basis once they become available. Submission of an application does not reserve a kitten nor place you in a traditional waitlist.
When kittens are evaluated and marked as Available, approved applicants are contacted in the order their confirmed interest is received for the available kittens.
​​
​
Step-by-Step Adoption Overview
​
1. Apply for Adoption
​​​​
Complete the Adoption Application. Approved applicants will be contacted and invited to review kittens once they are available.
👉 Application approval does not reserve a kitten — it simply qualifies you to participate when kittens are available.
​
​​
2. Availability Announcement
​​​​
Once a litter is evaluated and ready, kittens will be announced as:
​
-
Available for Adoption
-
Under Evaluation
-
Reserved
​
Only kittens marked “Available for Adoption” are open for selection.
​
​
3. First-Come Adoption Selection
​​​​
Approved applicants will be notified via text/email with photos and details of available kittens.
You will have 24 hours to respond with your interest in a kitten. The first confirmed applicant to respond for each available kitten will have priority in placement.
​
​
4. Adoption Deposit​
​
Once you confirm your selection:
​
-
A non-refundable adoption deposit (20% of the remaining balance) is due within 24 hours to hold your kitten.
-
This deposit secures your selection and marks the kitten as Reserved.
​​
​
Priority Consideration
While we do not use a traditional paid waitlist system, priority consideration may be given to:
​
-
Returning families
-
Established partner homes
-
Homes with previous adoption history
​
Priority consideration allows earlier notification but does not guarantee selection of a specific kitten, color, or gender.
​
​​
Communication & Timing
You will receive:
-
Updated photos every 7–10 days while kittens are growing
-
A text or email when kittens are ready for viewing
​
If you do not respond within 24 hours of a kitten availability notification, the kitten may be offered to other approved applicants.
Final Notes
​
-
We do not accept deposits to simply “hold a place in line.”
-
Adoption deposits are only accepted after a kitten is selected.
-
Adoption deposits are non-refundable but applied toward the final adoption price.
