Let's talk about the kitten you've been waiting for.
We're a small, family-run cattery in Toronto, ON raising just a few litters a year in our own living room. Every message is answered by us personally — usually within 24 hours.
Three ways to reach us
Whichever you choose, you're talking to the people who raise the kittens — never a call centre.
Email us
info@mainecoonkittenscattery.comBest for detailed questions and photos. We reply within 24 hours, seven days a week.
Visit the cattery
Toronto, ON CanadaVisits are by appointment. Mention it in your application and we'll find a time that suits you both.
These pages answer most first questions
We answer every message ourselves, but we're a small home cattery — there may be a short wait during the day while we're with the cats. These pages will save you waiting for a reply.
Visits
By appointment only. We don't keep open hours, because a steady stream of visitors is stressful for a nursing mother and her litter. If you'd like to meet the cats, ask and we'll find a time.
Not ready yet?
Still deciding whether a Maine Coon suits your household? Start with the care guide. You're welcome to write to us even if you're a year away from getting a kitten.
Join the waiting list
We only have a few litters a year. If nothing suits you right now, ask to be added to the list for upcoming litters and you'll hear before kittens are listed publicly.

Questions we're asked most
If yours isn't here, put it in the application or send us an email.
How quickly will I hear back?
Within 24 hours, every time — including weekends. If a day passes with no reply, your message likely landed in a spam folder, so please call or text us at +1 (807) 684-7944.
Does applying commit me to anything?
Not at all. An application is just an introduction. Nothing is reserved and no money changes hands until we've spoken and you've decided you're sure.
What if the kitten I want is already reserved?
Apply anyway. We'll put you on the waiting list for the next litter and let you know first when kittens matching what you're after become available.
Can I visit before I decide?
Yes — visits are by appointment so the kittens keep their routine and stay protected from anything our visitors might carry in. Mention it in your application and we'll arrange a time. If you're too far away, we'll do a video call instead.
At what age do kittens go home?
Twelve weeks at the earliest, sometimes a little later if a kitten needs more time. By then they're vet checked, vaccinated, litter trained and well socialised with people.
Do you ship kittens?
We prefer families to collect their kitten in person — it's gentler on the kitten and lets us meet you properly. Where that isn't possible, we'll talk through safe travel options together. Tell us where you're located in your application.
Still deciding? Just say hello.
A Maine Coon is a fifteen-year companion. Take your time, ask us anything, and we'll help you work out whether one of ours is the right fit.
