FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Maine Coons mature more slowly then many other breeds, and we believe their natural hormones play an important role in supporting healthy growth, bone development, and overall well-being. To allow for this important stage of development, we ask that females be spayed by 8 months of age and males be neutered by 12 months of age, unless your veterinary recommends otherwise.

Once Veterinary confirmation has been received, we will promptly send your breeder slip to you so you can complete your kittens TICA registration.

Our kittens see the vet at least twice before going to their new homes and will have received their first 2 of 3 vaccinations (8 and 12 weeks), and will need a 3rd around 16 weeks. - Kittens will be dewormed twice.- 2 year health guarantee for Hip and HCM (heart).- Each kitten will go home with a care package that includes a blanket and toys with smells they are accustom to.-30 day Trupanion health insurance packet.  -Sample of current food.-Breeder slip for registration with TICA (once proof of spay/neuter).

Unfortunately, we are a Closed Cattery. The young, unvaccinated kittens, are susceptible to virus/bacteria that can unintentionally be passed to the babies. We are happy to chat via video call so you can view available kittens. This is also great opportunity to get to know each other

Yes. We raise all kittens in a family environment (We do not use cages). Our Cats live in our home and get exposed to a wide variety of sounds and smells. The family environment fosters strong social bonds, emotional well-being, and a sense of security for our Cats

Providing our cats with a high quality diet is essential for their growth, energy, and long term health. Our kittens are raised on a varied diet so they become comfortable with different flavours, textures, and types of food before joining their new families.We currently feed a combination of Purina Pro Plan Kitten kibble, Purina Pro Plan wet food, Tiki Cat wet food, and SMACK dehydrated raw food.We recommend keeping your kitten's diet familiar during the first several days at home while they adjust to their new environment. If you decide to change foods, we encourage making the transition gradually to help minimize digestive upset.To make those first few days a little easier, each kitten goes home with a starter bag containing familiar food they have already been eating here at Pawz and Purz Maine Coons.Our goal is simple: happy kittens, full bellies, and an easier transition into their new home.

We send our kittens to their forever homes at 12-14 weeks.Keeping kittens with their mother for an extended period is one of the best ways to ensure they grow up healthy, well-socialized, and emotionally secure. This also allows for them to have had 2 sets of vaccines, microchipped,  and checked by a Vet. We want to ensure the kitten is using a litter box and is on a solid food diet. We are better able to assess each kittens unique personality and match them to the appropriate family.

We are happy to discuss delivery options when needed. Delivery is available for an additional fee of $2/km round trip, and in some cases, accommodation costs may apply.This fee helps cover the time, travel, fuel, and wear on vehicle involved in safely transporting your kitten. Our priority is making sure your kitten arrives comfortably, safe, and with as little stress as possible.We may be able to deliver or meet families in areas such as Kamloops, Kelowna, Salmon Arm, Vancouver, and locations in between. Final arrangements will depend on distance, scheduling, and what is safest for the kitten.We are happy to announce that we now offer flight Nanny services. Price will vary based on location.
