Frequently Asked Questions

Our kittens are world-class, and as such we take the time to screen every application for guardianship we receive. You must be pre-approved to adopt one of our kittens so that we can ensure they are going to the very best home possible. Maine Coon cats are extremely desirable due to their specialty coloring, affectionate nature, and large size. Often called the most dog-like of all the cat breeds. Because kittens are in such a high demand we like to give every single pre-approved guardian the same opportunity to adopt a kitten. When you have been approved as a guardian, you'll be able to log into the website. A group notification to all pre-approved guardians is sent out when kittens become available and reservations are open. The only special preference given is to buyers who would like to adopt 2 kittens from the same litter or repeat buyers who are placed on a special priority list, and then are given first access to reserve new kittens.

We are proudly a TICA registered cattery.

We have roughly 2 litters per year at this time available for adoption.

Kittens are reserved very quickly. Check the page 'Available kittens' to see information about upcoming expected litters, newborn kittens, and if any kittens are currently available.

Follow the simple process under section 'adoption' page.

We operate with a closed cattery. This means we do not allow people to come to our home to view kittens, we only allow people to come in when it is time to pick the kittens up and take them home. This is how the majority of TICA breeders across the US operate because it reduces stress on the parent cats, and kittens, and highly reduces the risk of bacteria entering the home. Some breeders will even meet at a park or local shopping area to have kittens picked up rather than allow pick up in their homes because of this.  We are happy to Skype with people or do a video call where you can see us, the kittens, and the environment they are growing in. I would be happy to arrange this with you after an application for kitten adoption has been sent in through the website. 

We are located in Conway, SC. About 5 miles from Myrtle Beach.
