Pet Kitten Application - Aubs Maine Coons

Before beginning your application, please take time to review my website, especially the FAQ, pricing, reservation process, health guarantee, spay/neuter options, and policies. Submitting an application is Step 2 of my process. Step 1 is simply making sure you understand how my program operates and feel that Aub’s Maine Coons may be a good fit for your family.

This is a detailed application with several questions that require thoughtful answers. Please begin when you have enough time to complete it thoroughly. The more information you provide, the better I can get to know you, your household, and the type of home one of my kittens may be joining.

Please provide complete and accurate information, including your full legal name, phone number, email address, physical home address, and information about your current pets. Incomplete or inaccurate applications may not be considered.

Some questions may feel personal, but each one has a purpose. I am entrusting each family with a baby that I helped bring into this world, raised, cared for, and loved, so it is important to me to understand who they may be going home with. As a licensed breeder, I am also required to maintain accurate placement records.

Social media handles and recent family photos are optional, but they can be helpful in allowing me to put faces to names and get a better sense of your household and lifestyle when considering placement.

Submitting an application does not guarantee approval. I consider many different factors when making placement decisions, and there is no single “right” answer I am looking for. My goal is simply to determine whether my program and one of my kittens may be a good fit for your particular home and family.

Applications are intended for families who have reviewed my program and are genuinely interested in moving forward if approved and the right kitten is available. You do not need to have every detail decided or a specific kitten chosen before applying.

Applications are reviewed in the order they are received. Please allow approximately 48 to 72 hours for a response.

Before you begin, please submit an application only if you have reviewed my program and are genuinely interested in moving forward with Aub’s Maine Coons. I personally review every application and spend time getting to know each potential family.

You do not need to have a specific kitten chosen or be 100% committed before applying. However, the application is intended for families who understand my pricing, policies, and process and feel my program may be a good fit for them.

If you are only gathering general information and are not yet ready to seriously consider bringing home a kitten, please wait to apply until you are a little further along in the process.

I understand that I am responsible for providing a correct and active phone number and email address on this application.

After submitting my application, I am required to send a text message to Aub’s Maine Coons confirming that it has been submitted. This helps verify my contact information and ensures there is a reliable way to reach me.

I also understand that I am responsible for monitoring my text messages and email, including spam or junk folders, for follow-up communication regarding my application.

I understand that applications and messages are reviewed and responded to in the order they are received.

Because Aub’s Maine Coons is operated alongside the daily responsibilities of caring for cats and kittens, veterinary needs, and family life, I understand that a response may take approximately 48–72 hours.

Have you thoroughly reviewed my website, including pricing, policies, health practices, go-home age, spay/neuter options, and what is included with your kitten?

Are you currently seriously considering purchasing a kitten from Aub’s Maine Coons?

If your application is approved and the right kitten is available, are you financially prepared to move forward with the reservation fee and remaining purchase price?

Is everyone in your household who will be involved in this decision aware that you are applying and in agreement about adding a kitten?

Please provide your complete physical home address. P.O. Boxes are not accepted. Incomplete addresses will result in an incomplete application. If you are not comfortable providing your physical address, I completely understand; however, I will not be able to proceed with your application. As a Missouri-licensed breeder, I am required to maintain records showing where each kitten is placed, including the purchaser’s address.

Getting to know potential families is an important part of my placement process. While I know social media is only a small and often very curated glimpse into someone's life, it can still help me put a face to an application and get a better feel for the home and family one of my kittens may be joining.
