Waitlist Options
Check out what we offer for a waitlist!
The Options:
-
I offer two type’s of waitlist options for you to choose from!
1) Fill out a breeder/pet kitten application and once your application is approved, you will automatically be put on the free waitlist. You will be notified via email when a litter is ready to reserve after those on the paid waitlist pick their kitten. Please follow along with updates on the social media platforms about pregnancy, birth and reservation announcements. There is no specific order that is followed based on application date for the pick of a kitten, but you will see your name on the free waitlist section. If you wish to be taken off of the free waitlist and no longer receive reservation announcement emails, just shoot me a message. You can view this free waitlist on the bottom of this page.
2) Fill out a breeder/pet application and once your application is approved, you can pay a deposit to get on the paid waitlist. You will be notified via text, messenger or email (based on your preference of communication) when a mating occurs, pregnancy is confirmed, when the due date is, when the kitten’s are born, as they grow the first month, and you will be the first to get to pick when the kitten’s are ready to reserve around 6 weeks of age. The order in which you get to pick is based on when you made the deposit. The deposit goes towards the final amount due. If you wish to be taken off of the list and no longer receive notifications about new litters, you will be given the waitlist fee back minus $100 as long as you haven’t gotten a kitten yet. Please read the section below for further information!

After many requests, I am excited to be opening up the opportunity for those who are interested in a kitten from my cattery to join a waitlist!! We have some amazing plans for this upcoming fall/winter/spring and this will help ensure you can have a better chance at getting your new furry family member.
For Starters:
Here is some information about the waitlist and how it will work:
• Those on the waitlist always get the first opportunity to reserve a kitten in the order they joined. You will be notified via text, messenger or email (based on your preference of communication) when a mating occurs, pregnancy is confirmed, when the due date is, when the kittens are born, as they grow the first month, and you be the first to get to pick when the kittens are ready to reserve around 6 weeks of age.
• You can be on the waitlist for as long as you would like to be while waiting for the kitten. This means you can pass as many times as you choose to do so.
• I used to have different waitlist options based on color, if your were a breeder or not, etc. I also had a priority pick of the litter where breeders got to jump at the beginning of the line and always got first pick. However, after doing some reflecting, and after experiencing the same frustration when I tried finding a kitten, that seems unfair and frustrating to the pet families who have been on the list for a long time. So I no longer have different waitlist groups based on color or if you are a breeder or not. It will be based on when you joined, whether you are a breeder or a pet buyer. If you have already signed a waitlist agreement prior to 10/7/2024 and you are a breeder, you will still get first pick of the litter of your choice. The list is so new and so small now anyways that it won’t have an impact on you anyways.
• If you are a repeat buyer, good news!! If you decide that you want a 2nd kitten from me and you rejoin the waitlist within 2 year of getting your kitten, you can be placed back in your original spot in line based on your initial join date. This allows your kittens to grow up together around the same age.
The Fee and Information To Join:
The following fee is what it will cost to join the waitlist:
• Pets and Breeders: $250 fee
• Siblings: $500 fee
I have a Waitlist Deposit Agreement that both parties will sign at the time payment is made to get on the waitlist. For payment, I only accept Zelle, Apple Pay or cash for waitlist deposits. Venmo or Paypal will not be an option due to other breeders having problems with buyers reversing the charges after they get a kitten.
Before you can even pay to get on the waitlist, you must fill out an application to get on the approved families/breeders list. Once your application is approved and the fee is paid, you will be added to the list. The fee will go towards the final price of the kitten. If you wish to be taken off of the list you will be given the waitlist fee back minus $100. The $100 is non-refundable to cover my time to update preferences/answer questions, send various updates that those on the waitlist don’t get, offer you kittens, and keep record of any and all communications and updates.
When it comes time to choose a kitten:
The following information is what the process will be when it is time to choose a kitten:
• When the kittens are around 6 weeks old, I will go through my waitlist in the order that the waitlist fee was paid. Please be ready to place a reservation deposit and sign a contract on the kitten at this time to secure your kitten. Remember, both your waitlist fee and reservation deposit will be applied to the final price of your kitten.
• Please respond within 2 hours so I can move through the list efficiently. You can respond with a “reserve” or “pass”. “Reserve” means you want to reserve a kitten. “Pass” means that you pass and will wait for a future litter.
• If I do not receive a response within 2 hours, I will move to the next person on the list. To ensure you do not miss your opportunity, please pay attention to when the kittens will be made available to reserve and please specify your preferred method of communication for kitten offers. Prompt replies are appreciated to maintain a smooth process for everyone that is waiting for a kitten.
• To reserve a kitten, you must sign a contract and place a reservation deposit on the kitten, which is $1000 for a pet kitten and $1500 for a breeding kitten. You can check out our kitten prices here. This deposit, in addition to the waitlist fee, will count towards the kitten's total price.
• You have 24 hours to fill out and email back the signed contract and another 24 hours after the contract is sent to make the reservation deposit. If I have not received the contract or reservation deposit within that time frame, I will move to the next person on the list.
• If you pass on a litter, you will still keep your place in line. If you pass, I will move to the next person until all kittens are reserved. For the next available litter I will start back at the top of the list and work my way down.
• If I contact you and do not get a response after three attempts, you will move you to my archived waitlist where you will not be contacted again unless you reach out. If you reach out and state that you wish to still be on the list, I will add you back in the place that you were originally at. If I contact you and for a 2nd time, and after 3 attempts I get no response back, you will be placed back on the archived waitlist. If you reach out again and state that you still want to be on the waitlist, you will be put back on but you will move down 2 spots. The process will repeat for each time that you get placed on the archived waitlist and then added back on. If you wish to avoid being placed on the archived waitlist and moving down spots, please make sure that you communicate with a quick reply back of “reserve” or “pass”. If you wish to be taken off of the list, you will receive half of the waitlist fee back. The other half is non-refundable.
Additional Important notes:
• Our waiting list is new and expected to grow quickly, so don't miss your chance to join before it gets long! Please make sure you're 100% committed to purchasing a Maine Coon kitten from Aubs Maine Coons. Please also be sure you're ready for the responsibility of owning a new kitten, including vet bills, food costs, and the daily care of your new fur baby for many years. And when the time comes to purchase pick a Maine Coon kitten please be sure you are ready to fill out the contract and make the deposit. If you're prepared, this opportunity might be for you!
• I reserve the right to keep any kitten for my own breeding program.
• I also reserve the right to refuse a kitten to anyone for any reason, paid in full or not. A refund will be provided if I deem any person or situation unsuitable, untrustworthy, or if I feel uneasy.
• Nature can’t be controlled and sometimes kitten’s don’t make it. Which is why I don’t open reservations until 6 weeks old. So much can happen in that first month of life. I also cannot control the sex, color, or litter size of each pairing.
And Last But Not Least:
I am thrilled to have you join my waitlist for a Maine Coon kitten. By joining the waitlist, you'll be among the first to welcome one of these beautiful, affectionate kittens into your home. As you await your new furry family member, rest assured that I will keep you informed and involved throughout the process. Your patience and excitement are appreciated, and I look forward to helping you find the perfect Maine Coon companion. Welcome to my extended family!
