- applicant signature or e-mail authorization -
 

Please answer the following questions.
Use as much detail as you'd like:

·         How did you hear about or find MooseCoons Cattery of Excellence?

·         Why do you want a purebred pedigreed Maine Coon Cat?

·         What color(s) and/or sex preference do you have in kitten or cat? 

·         If no kittens are currently available, do you want to be placed on a waiting list?

·         Do you have someone reliable to care for cat(s)/kitten(s) when you go on vacation or are away from home, even in case of emergency?

·         Do you have Children at home?

·         If yes, please list their names and ages  

·         For children under 16, how are they supervised when a parent or guardian is not home? Have they been taught proper handling and respect for animals?

·         Are you able to visit my home cattery for a personal interview? Can other members of the household come also?  

·         Is it possible to conduct a personal interview in your home?

·         Please list any pets currently in household, and the type, breed and age of each.

·         Please list any pets you have had in the past ten years and, if no longer with you, why.

·         For the above two questions, please note if these pets were/are seen by your current vet? If no, please list also contact information for the previous vet and the name(s) of the animal(s) seen there.  

·         Will the kitten(s)/cat(s) have a "private space" where it can get away from children, other pets or visitors or the vacuum cleaner?

·         Please state your philosophy on cat ownership and responsibilities including: Should cats be allowed access to outdoors and if so, how?  Should pets be spayed or neutered and if so when?  How often does a cat need to be vetted and why?  How do you feel about declawing of indoor cats?  Should pets be included in the family’s annual Holiday Photo? (okay that last one I’m just kidding J) 

·         Please list other references (breeders you've bought from, pet-sitter, neighbors…) Please list at least two names + phone # with area code - Thank you

If you are submitting your application via email, please print out this page and use it as a reference to respond to all questions appropriately. If you would prefer to use regular postal service to submit your written application, email me for my address. I will call or email you within a few days to confirm receipt of your application. Again, please specify the cat(s)/kitten(s) you want to buy and when you are hoping to bring it home!

The full cost of a kitten at this time is $800.00. They are released to new homes at approximately 14 weeks and have had their first 2 kitten series vaccines, all wormings, and been seen by my vet to ensure general good health. After their second vaccine at 12 weeks I keep them the additional two weeks to watch for reactions and to allow their immune system to acclimate without stress.

Early reservations (or Waiting List) will be taken before kittens are 8 weeks old ($100.00) Between 8-12 weeks my Maine Coon kittens are evaluated for show-quality; if the kitten you really wanted has been determined ultimate show, you can either take first pick of remaining kittens, have your deposit refunded or apply your deposit to priority choice of next available litter (I usually have 3-4 litters per year) BTW, I have never revoked a tentative reservation, but if the next "Best in Show" comes along I like to reserve the right to do so! At the age of 8 weeks or older deposits are $300.00, or a balance of $200.00 is due on your early reservation once conformation of kittens is determined.

A $100 "waiting list reservation" is also available in case you are waiting for a specific color or a litter from a particular set of parents or just "next available kitten" - with the waiting list reservation I will remain in frequent contact with litter announcements.  I get entirely too many inquiries to get back to everyone without this formal arrangement.

If Breeder revokes the reservation for any reason whenever possible another kitten will be offered or the deposit will be refunded. Potential Purchasers with Tentative Reservations will have first choice of remaining unclaimed kittens in a litter if their first choice becomes unavailable. Deposits are non-refundable if the purchaser withdraws their interest in a kitten. 

Kittens are available for visitors at approximately 8 weeks of age, once they've had their first immunization. By the time the kittens have reached 8 weeks the second installment ($200) on the deposit is due.  When kittens are released to their new homes between 14-16 weeks  the full balance due is, well, due.

When picking up your kitten you should bring the balance of the fee in cash and a secure carrier to transport your kitten home.  Kittens/Cats must never be transported unless safely confined in a secure pet carrier at all times!

outline of payments:

$100 - early deposit - before kitten is 8 weeks old or before kitten is born for official waiting list

$200 - deposit balance (or $300 if early deposit wasn't taken) between 6-8 weeks

$500 cash only - pickup of kitten
