I love talking to people and helping people find their special new cat and getting to know new buyers. With that being said, there have been a lot of instances lately where I will facetime will people, spend hours talking to them, write up contracts for them only for them to come back and say that they then talked to their spouse and the spouse did not approve. To protect my time and your's, before a facetime will be scheduled and a contract sent, a group chat with all adults of the household via text or messenger needs to be established first where I get confirmation that everyone is on board with a new kitten. And please also know, I will not give a kitten away with breeding rights to families who only want to breed it once so that family and friends can have a kitten. You must be an established cattery or show proof of starting up a cattery.
Thank you for your following, support and interest in my kittens. I only say this to better manage my time, protect your time, and the time of people who are truly ready to get a kitten. Because time spent on people who don't have everyone onboard takes away from me, my kids, you, and those who are waiting for me to get back to them. Thank you for understanding.

Spay/Neuter
PLEASE READ!!
I offer two options when it comes to spaying/neutering. Please carefully read every section below.
The details:
-
SPAY AND NEUTERING IS NOT AN OPTION IT IS A MUST.
We allow our families to choose if they wish to have their kitten spayed/neutered before going home, or sign a SpaySecure contract thru SpaySecure and sterilize the kitten around 6 months of age. There are pro's and con's to sterilizing early and pro's and con's to waiting. I personally lean towards delaying the spay/neuter to allow the growth hormones to do their job, but please do your research and talk to your vet and see what option you feel would be best. Please do your research and talk to your vet and see what option you feel would be best.
If you choose to have my vet sterilize the kitten, it will be done before the kitten goes home at 12 weeks and the kitten would be ready by 13 weeks for males (unless the kitten needed stitches) and 14 weeks for girls. If you choose to sign a contract with SpaySecure, the kittens go home at 12 weeks old with a strict, legally binding Spay or Neuter contract They will be required to be spayed or neutered by 6 months old (can be extended to 8 months if your vet suggests it) if you go that route. We use a company called SpaySecure to protect your kitten's growth hormones. The cost to use SpaySecure is $80. Once the kitten is spayed/neutered with proof from your vet sent to me AND proof sent to SpaySecure, and after SpaySecure and I have contacted your vet to verify the procedure was done, you will get the registration papers to register your kitten. SpaySecure uses binding contracts to ensure kitty sterilization at an older age. They’ll follow up with you to provide advice and reminders, ensuring your kitten's sterilization, and will also take legal action if you do not uphold your end of the contract, try to breed the kitten, try to change phone numbers, addresses, ghost them, etc. Please note, you will be responsible for your vets fee to sterilize your kitten by the date set in the SpaySecure Contract.
I encourage you to do you research and talk to you vet to decide on what option would be best for you and your new kitten.
Please read this letter regarding using SpaySecure. -
When it comes to reserve your kitten, please choose one of the following options below for sterlization:
OPTION 1:
Kitten is spayed/neutered before pickup: $530 for a spay and $325 for a neuter. This covers the cost of the procedure, blood work, the use of propofol (which increases the price alone, not all vets use that), and the after care when the kitten arrives back at the cattery. The spay/neuter fee will be required at the time of reserving the kitten so that I can book that procedure with my vet. With this option, the kitten would be ready by 13 weeks for males (unless the kitten needed stitches) and 14 weeks for girls.
Please click here to see the spay/neuter vet bill for the Sesame Street litter. I provide this to you so that you can see just how much it costs and why.
-
OPTION 2: (Highly encouraged!)
- Wait to spay the kitten until it is older and use SpaySecure: $80
SpaySecure uses binding contracts to ensure kitty sterilization at an older age. They’ll follow up with you to provide advice and reminders, ensuring your kitten's sterilization, and will also take legal action if you do not uphold your end of the contract, try to breed the kitten, try to change phone numbers, addresses, ghost them, etc. Please note, you will be responsible for your vets fee to sterilize your kitten by the date set in the SpaySecure Contract.
When you pick your kitten, a contract will be sent to you to read and fill out, as well as documents about why we use SpaySecure and important information regarding signing SpaySecure's contract if you choose to go that route instead of sterilization before pickup. Make sure you read my letter about why we use SpaySecure. You can read that here. -
Special Note: One of our breeding cats, Luna, has a contract that we must sterilize her kittens before placing them in a home. The SpaySecure option does not apply to her kittens.

Reserving
Take Home Details
Taking home a kitten:
-
Refresh yourself on the FAQ section and go over the health guarantee that is below.
-
We will be in touch and decide on a pickup date for the kitten. Those that are spayed/neutered will go home at 13 weeks old. Those going home with a SpaySecure contract or for breeders, the kitten will be ready at 12 weeks old.
-
Get your house/kitten room all ready for the kitten to come home. Kitten's adjust best and it is highly suggested to quarantine the new kitten so it can adjust to its new environment and to any new pets. A spare bedroom or bathroom is the perfect place for that.
-
Payment in full via Zelle, Apple Pay or cash is required at the time of pickup. If you do not have the cash for the full amount, you cannot take the kitten home until you do.
-
If the kitten is not picked up by the agreed pickup date, a $10 per day maintenance/boarding fee will be charged. If after one week of not hearing from you, or if the kitten is not picked up within a week of the agreed upon date, the kitten will be made available to someone else. Certain conditions will be accepted if honest communication is given.
-
Take your kitten home, let the kitten take its time with the adjustment period, and be patient with it. Let the kitten come to you, don't force the kitten to be held or meet new pets if its not ready. It will hamper the adjustment period and could have a backlash effect of the kitten not bonding with you properly.
-
This one is important....these are and will forever be my babies. I helped bring them into the world, felt their little kicks, carried a baby monitor around daily to make sure I didn't miss the birth, helped break their sacks, stayed up and woke up often in the middle of the night to make sure mom didn't lay on them. I weighed them daily, bottle fed them, bonded with them, spent hours playing and training and teaching them. Loved them fiercely. IF at ANY point you can no longer care for the kitten, PLEASE reach out and allow me to take the kitten back. I would rather refund you the money and rehome the kitten with someone I have vetted vs the kitten going to someone off of craigslist.
-
If you chose to not keep the kitten and do return it, the amount you will be refunded is the cost of what I would get AFTER the kitten is rehomed, minus the reservation deposit, plus what it would cost for me to take the kitten to the vet, run a fecal and respiratory PCR test, etc.

Maine coon cats are prone to certain health issues and our cattery does all genetic DNA testing to avoid such illnesses, however, any cat at any time may develop a condition regardless of precautions. Every MC has a 30% risk of developing HCM over its lifetime. 1-2 grade heart murmurs in young maine coon kittens are very common and usually go away by the age of 1-2 years old. A grade 1-2 murmur is not a genetic illness and we do not replace kittens unless there is a heart enlargement or defective function diagnosed by a cardiologist veterinarian in the first 5 years since birt. Maine Coon's with a 1-2 grade murmur go on to live completely normal and healthy lives. If a murmur of concern is found early on, doesn’t go away by the age of 2, is greater than grade 2 and the kitten develops HCM before its 5th birthdate, the Buyer may choose to return the kitten and receive a replacement kitten of equal value. Proof of testing must be provided. Aub’s Maine Coon’s reserves the right to speak to the company, licensed Veterinarian or Dr. who performed the tests.
-
If the kitten ends up passing away during the guarantee period and you would like a replacement kitten, a necropsy must be performed and the results will need to be sent to me for review along with the right to speak to your veterinarian.
-
If we cannot test for a certain disease or illness, such as periodontal disease, FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis), Feline Leukemia, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, etc. it will not be included in the guarantee, as these are things that can happen at random and we cannot test for them.
-
Things such as neglect, digestive illnesses, ringworm, pyometra, worms, fleas, ear mites (in other words, things that will not kill the cat and is common amongst pets), cancer, accidents and injuries (such as falls, broken bones, ingested foreign objects, abuse, animal attacks, injuries from being outdoors, etc.) is not included in the guarantee. Treatments for preventative care such as vaccinations, parasite treatment and exams are not covered.
-
This warranty is in effect from the date of sale and ends 5 years from that date or in the event that Aubs Maine Coons cattery ends business, whichever happens first. This guarantee is not transferable to other owners. Further details will be provided in the purchasing contract.

Guarantee For Breeders
What it covers:
-
If the kitten is found to not be of breeding quality by a licensed veterinarian after a reservation fee has been paid, Aub’s Maine Coon’s agrees to refund the reservation fee in full.
-
Should infertility arise due to a structural defect present since birth, Aub’s Maine Coon’s will exchange the intact cat for a new one of equal value. The intact cat must be exchanged at the time of pickup of the new kitten and must not be spayed. Proof of structural defect must be supported by documentation from a licensed fertility veterinarian. Aub’s Maine Coon’s has the right to speak to the fertility veterinarian and see all documentation.
-
If the breeding cat does not have any structural defects but has not had its own offspring with two genetically different, healthy and prolific males before the end of the third year of life (a prolific male is someone who already has had offspring), the seller will replace the cat at the cost of a pet, given that breeding rights have already been obtained. Prior to receiving a replacement, the owner must provide proof of spaying/neutering for the original cat.
-
If the breeding cat's both first and second litter result in more than half of the litter having Cleft Palate, Aub’s Maine Coon’s agrees to exchange the intact cat for a new one of equal value from a different Queen. The buyer agrees to provide proof from a licensed veterinarian of every kitten who was diagnosed with Cleft Palate. The cat must be exchanged at the time of pickup of the new kitten and must not be spayed.
-
The breeding cat is guaranteed to be able to pass health testing of genetic DNA testing, echocardiogram, and hip dysplasia to be able to be bred. For DNA testing, the kitten will be guaranteed to have zero copies of the MYBPC gene for HCM, to have no more than one copy of the gene for SMA (This is a recessive disorder), to have no more than one copy of the gene for PKDef (This is a recessive disorder), to have zero copies of genes for any other Autosomal Dominant disorder that affects Maine Coons and that can be tested for by Wisdom Panel at the time of sale, and to have no more than one copy of genes for Recessive Disorders that affect Maine Coons and that can be tested for by Wisdom Panel at the time of sale. For echocardiogram, the kitten is guaranteed to have a result of “Normal” up to the age of 5 years since birth. For hip dysplasia testing, the kitten is guaranteed to have a result of “Normal”, from OFA, either as preliminary or certified. In the event that testing proves otherwise, the Buyer may choose to return the intact kitten and receive a replacement kitten of equal value. The cat must be exchanged at the time of pickup of the new kitten and must not be spayed. Proof of testing must be provided. Aub’s Maine Coon’s reserves the right to speak to the company, licensed Veterinarian or Dr. who performed the tests.

-
Aub’s Maine Coon’s cannot guarantee the kitten will not develop pyometra. Pyometra is not a hereditary condition and is spontaneous in nature, and therefore cannot have any warranty against Pyometra. Open pyometra can be treated unless the vet feels the infection is to severe. Closed pyometra cannot be treated and usually results in the kitten needing to be spayed.
