If you're considering getting a new kitten, why not consider getting two! Here are the top nine benefits of getting a pair of kittens versus just one.

2 retiring queens
Looking for homes to give them loving laps
Will come fully vetted and altered

We have had several successful litters and as such have placed cats with many happy homes.
We expect deliveries at Christmas with spring time placement in their furrever homes.
We often sell by referral or wait list, but our wait list is getting a little low.
It is with this in mind I am opening up the wait list for a limited time.
We are expecting a wide variety of colors.
I will post pictures of our last kids and you can see what is in store for our future pet parents.
If interested in getting on our wait list... please let us know.

As spring births come- so do spring cat sales-
As this time comes - discussion of pricing comes up.
Please understand that it is at great expense - and even risk that these cats are imported.(European lines).
They come usually as kittens and then you feed, love and raise them for 8+ months before you are close to bringing a new litter into the world.
The expenses continue to roll in.
The amount of money spent is actually pretty mind boggling..
Finally you produce kittens that are the look you are striving for- and your able to produce a few pet kittens as a by product of this.
This is your one and only chance to recoup expenditures for a VERY EXPENSIVE hobby.
The average import runs about $3500/US to get from breeder to your home... “average litter size” is 5 kittens- some queens never breed- some might only give you 1 litter.
Current pricing for pet kittens is $1200-$2500
(Rarely you might see an $800/$1000)..
Many factors go into this... cost of breeding pair- size of litter etc.
Location of cattery (regional expense impact).
These are not inexpensive kittens to obtain- or maintain.
Many people ask about pricing- some are respectfully surprised— others not so much.
Please remember we are happy to share our beautiful babies...
But even retired breeders run $500-1200...
Again these are not inexpensive.. if you want a cat with all the rarest features- expect to pay top dollar.
A high shaded silver - Polydactyl kitten will easily run $2500
Unless it is not breed standard and is not much to look at.
In this as in everything else.
You get what you pay for.

Wait list
❗️Everyone please read.❗️This is the new policy regarding the procedures and policies of purchasing pet kittens. We feel this is the only way to make it fair for everyone who wants kittens.

As of February 14, 2019 due to the high volume of prospective pet parents, we will be implementing the Wait List procedures for obtaining kittens. The following explains the procedures.

Our Maine C**n females will have on average four to seven kittens per litter and we have fantastic Breeding Plans for 2019!

Kittens are held and offered to the Wait List prior to the general public. Kittens are placed in the order of Wait List fees received. Kitten ‘Buyer’ has the right to pass if the color and/or gender is not born or available when it is your turn to choose a kitten and placement on the Wait List is not forfeited.
MAC has the right to keep any kitten for our own personal breeding program.

Please Keep in mind.
The waiting list is for those who would like to have priority in choosing their kitten in upcoming
litters, securing a kitten if there is higher demand than available kittens. The waiting list will be contacted in order when kittens are available, and will be given a 24-72 hour period to make a selection before the next individual will be given their selection and/or kittens will be made available for others to reserve them.

Wait List Deposit: $500 non-refundable. This is deducted from the total purchase price of the kitten. Once you have been notified of the litter being born and have chosen a kitten another 50% of the total purchase price will be required to hold the kitten. These funds comes off of the total purchase price as well. Once the kittens are old enough to go to their new homes the remainder of the purchase price must be paid in order to leave. Fees may be paid by invoice via credit card or in person with cash.
TOTAL PRICE IS $2000 PET PRICE
(Ex: $2000-$500= 1500- $1000=$500 +delivery cost)
DELIVERY:
We do deliver at cost as a service, those fees are based on current pricing of travel.
Those will be discussed and covered with you on an individual basis.
We are located in the beautiful Pacific NW, you are always welcome to pick up your kitten and make it a vacation.

If for ANY reason the kitten is not fit or well enough to be placed- OR YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND-your money will be applied to a new kitten, not refunded.
Breeding/Show:
Because we imported our lines at great trouble and expense, breeding and show kittens are sold to a select few-
The price for these are $3500 and they come with a lot of strings attached.
If you have ever bred or shown anything you are aware of what I mean and why.
It doesn’t hurt to ask- but be prepared to know we will have to discuss and think about.

This has so much truth to it!

Your Responsibility to your Breeder.

We talk a lot about what a good breeder is expected to do for you. We require them to health test their breeding cats, guarantee the health and temperament of each kitten, be there for you 24/7 for up to 18 years — longer than most other relationships you are likely to have in your life.

We haven’t really talked about your responsibilities to your breeder.

I have done a lot of thinking. Breeders tend to be very private people. They don’t tell you about the three weeks they spend getting almost no sleep except for quick naps next to the kitten pen because Mother Cat needs some help. Maybe her milk hasn’t come in. Maybe her mothering instincts are a little slow to arrive. Maybe she wants you to show her how to be a mum. Maybe she died. Regardless, those first three weeks with kittens are often more intense than the first three weeks with a human infant.

Feeding six or eight kittens every two hours is exhausting. We haven’t got our mother-in-laws, husbands or best friends here to help us. Struggling kittens count on us to be their ICU nurse. It is no surprise that our maternal (or paternal) instincts go full bore on us, and we bond to these guys for life.

Not everything goes well with every kitten in every litter. Losing a kitten is deeply traumatic. We fight so hard to save them and often can’t. Death is not pretty. Death is graphic. It is not peaceful. It leaves a scar on our soul.

After we get through the first three weeks, we spend nearly every waking moment watching, thinking, analyzing, cuddling, loving and, inevitably, bonding. Could you hold a baby in your lap and not feel anything? Neither can we. By the time your kitten leaves our house, that kitten is as much a part of our heart as it is yours.

Things go wrong. We get that. Best intentions fade through no fault of our own. Maybe a job was lost. Maybe the terms of our rental agreement changed. Maybe someone in our family became sick and needs all our attention. Maybe one of a million things.

Breeders get that. We are people, too. We have lived as much life as you have. We know the world is not a perfect place. We also know that sometimes, despite our best intentions, we mismatched your kitten to you.

Whatever the reason, we know that not every kitten is going to live its full life with the people we placed it with. Divorce, death, gosh. Anything can happen.

But we love our babies (and we love you), and we want to be here to help. If you can no longer keep your cat, please be open and communicative. If your cat has a close relationship with someone else, let us know. That contract you signed with us? The one that guarantees health and our lifetime assistance? That applies to the kitten, no matter who owns him/her.

But more importantly, please be kind to our hearts. If you lost a grandchild — say your son and his wife were divorced and the wife cuts off all communication with you — that would hurt. You would feel sad, lost, a little panicky.

That’s how we feel when we lose track of a kitten.

So, please. Stay in contact with your breeder. Let him or her share in your cat’s joys and frustrations. Let them be a shoulder for you. Let them provide a listening ear and support. And please please please let them know where your cat is, and if you can’t keep it, please let them be involved in any placements that may need to occur.

Actually this is part of our contract...

I couldn't have said it better....
I Am A Breeder!

My Home smells like kittens! Yes they can be stinky! This does not mean i am dirty. I clean all day, everyday, and with tons more disinfectants and cleaners than any average home!

My food receipts for my cats food bills match a family of 4

My water bill has doubled

My electric bill has tripled

My feet find the way to the kittens before I have even grabbed a cup of coffee in the morning and the kittens are my last stop before bed. I am often so busy, I forget to eat.

While my friends are week long vacations and families meet for the holidays, I am home delivering and taking care of kittens.

I haven't had a real vacation in 10 years and with no plans of being able to take one in sight.

This is a 25/8/367 way of life!

All plans are made around heat dates, queen due dates, and vet dates.

My clothes are all stained with f***l matter, urine, afterbirth or bleach

I have to remember to clean my shoes before coming back into the house because parasites can be tracked in from the bottom of your shoes.

Most of my friends breed cats - who else can you call at 3 am for support?

Who else has the experience I sometimes need, the med I sometimes need, or just an uplifting word I sometimes need ?

Who else would understand how it feels to have invested hours and hours and hours in a weak kitten to lose it?

Or the joy in investing hours and hours into one that lives?

I have slept on the floor beside a litter until the crucial first 2 weeks have passed.

I have bottle fed a litter of 9... feeding every 2 hours and it taking 90 minutes to do, for weeks at a time.

I have learned to be proficient at giving meds, microchipping, vaccinations, sub q fluids, bottle feeding and tube feeding.

My vet and his staff knows me by my voice when I call.

I am a breeder

It is to me that 63 days takes on new meaning still excited by every new life

It is I who helps my mamas deliver all their kittens! If they need me to rub their belly through the sometimes all day long process, than that’s what I do, crouched on the floor.

Happiness and sadness sometimes intermingled

Even though it increases my work load, I look forward to the 14 day stage when eyes open, and kittens begin to emerge from the helplessness of newborns.

Kitten mews, a first bath, and a heart of exploration.

I am not uneducated, unemployable, illiterate or lazy as some Animal Rights folks would imply of breeders.

I am a conscientious lover of animals and I have found my niche.

I am a breeder.

I am not raking in money while sitting on my butt.

Every penny I make, I earn through a LOT of blood, sweat and tears and mostly goes right back into ensuring the health and well-being of my Queens and King and their future kittens.

My greatest joy is a healthy kitten and a wonderful home.

The messages of thanks and the pictures of my kittens with its new family is the fringe benefits of my efforts and what keeps me going.

I am an animal lover, nurse, midwife, NICU, heavy laborer, customer service representative, and marketer.

AND I am a breeder
