Follow the simple process under section 'adoption' page.

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

We are proudly a TICA registered cattery.

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

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. 

This is a real problem today! The number one thing you can do is look at the price point being asked for a kitten. Anything under 2,500 is a red flag. Since we work with such a large group of breeders across the U.S. the biggest thing we have seen is scammers trying to undersell kittens, or asking for deposits for shipping kittens with no real proof they are breeders. A real breeder is happy to share with you their documentation to prove they are registered! Any Maine Coon cat that is authentic will come with a breeders slip allowing you to register the kitten with the TICA or CFA.

We completely understand—seeing a newborn litter of adorable Maine Coon kittens is exciting, and it’s tempting to reserve one right away! However, we do not allow reservations until the kittens are 6 - 8 weeks old. Here’s why we wait until 8 weeks: Health and Growth Monitoring: The first 4 weeks are crucial for a kitten’s development. This time allows us to monitor their growth, ensure they are meeting milestones, and check for any health concerns or cosmetic issues. Personality Assessment: By 6 -8 weeks, we start to see the kittens’ personalities emerge. This helps us better match each kitten to the most suitable home based on temperament and lifestyle. Breeding Program Evaluation: During this period, we evaluate the litter to determine if any kittens will be kept back for our breeding program. As ethical breeders, we carefully select cats that meet our high standards for health, structure, and temperament. What Happens at 6- 8 Weeks? Once the kittens reach 6 -8 weeks of age, we will: Post photos, and details about each kitten reservation page.
