Breeder Application – Aubs Maine Coons

What up! Before submitting a BREEDER application please go thru every part of our website (especially the FAQ section!) so that you are familiar with how we roll. While I try to get to every application in a timely manner, please keep in mind that I have a family of humans and felines to care for, and so even though I may not respond right away, please be assured that I will look thru your application in the order that it was received.

Filling out this application is the 2nd step (1st step is to study everything on our website!) to joining the approved breeders list. Once joined you will receive alerts when kittens become available. Remember that you have 48 hrs to purchase the breeding kitten before we release the kittens to the next group on the priority list. The priority list is as follows: cattery, breeders, returning families, multi-cat purchase families, approved families.

WE ONLY SELL WITH BREEDING RIGHTS TO THOSE WHO ALREADY HAVE, OR ARE WORKING TOWARDS HAVING AN ESTABLISHED CATTERY, meaning that you are or will become registered, will do the research needed and build up a reputable breeding program.

Please do your homework, check out many different breeders and get a feel for what kind of breeder you are looking for. I may be a good fit for you, and I may not be. No hard feelings if i’m not.

I look forward to hearing from you, and hopefully getting to know you better!
