Kitten's Diet:
(a small bag of the accustomed food will be supplied with kitten at time of acquisition)
Free feed equal mix of premium dry food – suggest: Royal Canin formulas (Kitten up to 6-7 months of age, Adult Fit, Maine Coon, Indoor, Beauty & Fit, Sensitive 33 if kitty is thin or Indoor Light if kitty is chubby) I use PetHealth antioxidant powder daily in their wet food also.
Once daily - 1/2 to 1 can any premium canned cat food. ˝ teaspoon of plain yogurt may be added to their canned food to help prevent loose stools during transition time, though watch stools for changes, as sometimes milk products will make diarrhea worse. If stools are slightly loose, a tablespoon of canned pumpkin once or twice a day will help to firm them. If diarrhea is severe or long-term, kitten must see a vet.
If you want to change the cat's diet, do so slowly, mixing a portion of the new food into the accustomed diet a little more every day over the span of two weeks. Watch for vomiting and stools for changes that may indicate allergic reactions to new diet. Loose stools in the first days of a new home may also be related to stress, however if stools remain loose for several days, kitten appears to not be eating or drinking properly for up to 24 hours or if kitten appears listless, check with your veterinarian immediately. It is recommended to stick to a premium diet throughout its life to maintain your kitty in the best health.
Guarantee by Breeder:
Breeder guarantees that the cat listed above is purebred Maine Coon Cat with a certified pedigree and is eligible for registration with the CFA (Cat Fanciers Association). Note: Cats are also eligible for registration with any other association (TICA, ACFA, etc) but MooseCoons deals solely with CFA and does not have paperwork for other registrars readily available. All efforts to assist in completing and submitting this paperwork will be made if you wish to register in an association other than CFA.
Breeder further guarantees that this animal is negative for FelV and FIV and free of any internal or external parasites at the time of leaving the cattery and is in general good health. The purchaser will be supplied with an accurate record of kitten vaccinations and veterinary certificate. Cats in this breeding program have been tested for, and found free of HCM, which does not preclude the incidence of HCM showing up at any time.
There is no guarantee for kittens or cats when tested for coronavirus, as the test is not specific to a single coronavirus; This guarantee is voided if the buyer chooses to use the FIP vaccine, as FIP may be potentiated by vaccination; or if the buyer chooses to use the FelV vaccine, if kitten/cat is declawed or if kitten/cat is allowed loose outdoors unleashed.
Purchased as a PET, this kitten (cat) is guaranteed for the first 2 years against any genetic problem so severe that it prevents the animal from living a normal life as a pet. Should such a defect occur, written documentation and an oral confirmation between breeder and certified veterinarian is required to verify that the problem is indeed genetic in nature. Breeder shall also have the right to request confirming consult with Breeder's Veterinarian. Should such defect occur and be confirmed, the Breeder's sole responsibility is to provide another kitten for the buyer as soon as a comparable kitten becomes available. The original cat remains the responsibility of the Buyer. Breeder has no responsibility for any veterinary bills incurred, or any other expenses incurred in caring for the cat once it has left the breeder's cattery.
I have read and understand the above Guarantee and it's provisions and I agree to the terms set forth.

CFA Registration of your Maine Coon
The new owner must notify the Breeder of the name chosen for the kitten, and if kitten is not a certified Breeder, please forward Neuter/Spay Certification (females must be spayed before age 6 months and males must be neutered before age 8 months, though between 5-6 months is recommended). The Breeder will apply for registration paper with CFA and the registration of your Maine Coon will be sent directly to your home. This is required whether or not you intend to show your cat. This kitten is the product of a long line of Grand Champion cats; the birth has already been registered and the lineage records must be complete. In cases where I have already chosen a name or partial name, you may add on to the name with your preference or suffix.
