We consider 12 to 16 weeks the proper age for a Maine Coon kitten to be ready for it’s new home. The Maine Coon is a slowly developing breed and needs this time with mom and siblings in order to become the gentle and easy going pet you read about in the magazines. A kitten at 12 weeks of age should be easy to handle and trusting to it’s owner. At times we keep a kitten even longer than 16 weeks. Please note:As in-home hobby breeders, we are not open for casual visits. Buyers are welcome to pick up their kittens and can be given a tour during this time. We would kindly ask that people visit local cat shows to see purebred Maine Coons being shown and judged. Thank you.
