Welcome to Los Gatos Maine Coon Cats. We are CFA registered cattery. All of our cats are tested against FeLV & FIV (negative), and we guarantee the offspring are also negative in our health contract. Our kittens are examined by our veterinarian before they are sold as pets. Our goal is to continue to breed healthy, socialized beautiful traditional Maine Coon cats for our clients.

 Our cats are raised indoors, and we interact with them daily. After 10 weeks of age weather permitting, they are allowed to spend afternoons in our catio.  We believe our cats should be treated as family members because of their highly social nature. Our beautiful cats are by nature human companions, so they need a lot of social stimulation, and interaction. We not only focus on socially interacting with our cats, but we also care about their health. Our kittens are sold generally at about 3 months old when they have been properly socialized, litter box trained and weaned. We bring them to our veterinarian for confirmation of health before they leave us.

We vaccinate our kittens fully before they leave our home. Kittens are usually vaccinated at 8 weeks old, with a feline distemper vaccine (3-4 way) and they are dewormed before being placed in a new home. They are micro-chipped and have a full veterinary health examination at about 11-12 weeks of age. As a professional breeder we believe that we have a social and community responsibility to not add to pet over-population by contractually requiring spaying and neutering of our kittens before reaching sexual maturity and by implementing strict spay and neuter guidelines. At this time, kittens will leave un-altered and must be altered (spayed/neutered) by 7 months of age by their new owners veterinarian.

All potential clients are screened prior to accepting a deposit or selling a kitten. At Los Gatos Maine Coons we not only screen our buyers to ensure a healthy home environment for our kittens but also so that we can arrange an appropriate match from kitten to owner. We ask our potential clients what they are looking for in a kitten (color point, gender, breed), and what their home routine is like. We also ask how soon they would be ready for a kitten. We give all potential clients detailed information about what our kittens come with and pricing information. Once it is established that our clients are interested in our kittens, we perform ask our clients to complete our kitten questionnaire, which is filled with a lot of important questions about their home environment and cat care experience. It is very important for us to ensure that all potential clients are responsible, and are ready for a long term commitment in owning and caring for our kittens. We reserve the right to refuse sale and service to anyone, at any given time, even if a kitten is reserved with a deposit. The kittens continue to be our property until they are paid in full and leave our home. After the screening process is completed we go over deposit instructions by phone and e-mail. It is then determined if a person will be added to the waiting list for a kitten or that they reserve a currently available kitten at any given time.

Raising healthy, and happy Maine Coon kittens is of absolute importance to us. Our kittens are handled daily with great care and affection. We care about our kittens health and life spans. We offer a 72 hour health guarantee which means that the kitten is to be brought to a licensed veterinarian of the buyers choice within the first 72 hours that the kitten was purchased. If the kitten is found to have a genetic, congenital or hereditary defect by the buyers licensed veterinarian, then the kitten may be returned for a full pet price refund (does not include veterinary or travel fees). After the first 72 hours we offer a one year limited guarantee, or an extended guarantee of 2, 3, or 4 years covering hereditary, congenital, genetic defects. The extended guarantees correlate with keeping the kitten(s) on the NuVet Plus vitamin program for the selected extended guarantee. If the kitten dies as a the result of a genetic/hereditary/congenital defect within the health guarantee term we will offer a one time kitten replacement (terms and conditions apply), for ½ the original kittens purchase price (same breed only). No monetary refunds, nor veterinary, professional, nor travel refunds are given at any time, unless I make the exception. This is why we find vitamin supplementation (NuVet Plus) and healthy feeding to be of vital importance to our kittens immune health, and development. All of our kittens are sold “Flea Free”. 

We prefer to place our kittens locally, but we may consider shipping a kitten via the airlines if certain criteria can be met. A shipping estimate may be provided, which will include the kittens airline flight fare, cat travel crate & padding, food/water crate clip, veterinary health certificate, and transportation fees. Feel free to contact us for further details.
