Frequently asked questions.
How do I buy a Maine Coon kitten from Heritage Springs?
The process for purchasing a kitten from Heritage Springs is simple. Check out our adoption process for details.
Do you sell adult Maine Coon cats?
Sometimes we have adult Maine Coon cats that need a new home. These could be retirees from our breeding program or kittens we kept back for observation who ended up not being selected for our program for one reason or another. If you are interested in an adult cat, please fill out a kitten application and let us know you are looking for an adult cat. You will be added to our waiting list. Re-homing fees may apply.
Are your kittens healthy?
Every cat who is brought into our cattery is first quarantined while they undergo a series of health tests. Once complete, they are evaluated by our veterinarian before they are introduced to the rest of our cats. Then, every cat selected for our breeding program is genetically screened to ensure they are not carriers of any genetic diseases.
Because Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is so prevalent among Maine Coons, all of our breeding cats, in addition to being cleared from the gene that contributes to the development of HCM are also screened annually by a board-certified cardiologist.
We take every precaution to ensure our cats are as healthy as possible to ensure they produce the healthiest kittens possible. While it is impossible to guarantee kittens will live their entire lives without illness, we do our absolute best to ensure they are off to a great start!
In addition to all this, Heritage Springs gives all new kitten owners a free month of Trupanion Health Insurance for their new kitten. This offer can be activated between 24 hours prior to obtaining the kitten (recommended) to 24 hours after bringing their kitten home. Please look at the Trupanion website to understand what is covered, and talk to a Trupanion representative if you have any questions. We strongly suggest you take advantage of the free trial!
How much do your Maine Coon kittens cost?
Our Maine Coon kittens start at $3,200.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes. We offer two discounts:
The first discount is for purchasing multiple kittens at the same time (either from the same litter or two separate litters that are born close to the same time.) This discount is 10% off the price of two kittens. In order to take advantage of this discount, both kittens must be picked up or shipped on the same date.
The second discount is for returning customers. Returning customers receive $200 off future kitten purchases. If returning customers choose to purchase two kittens at the same time, they may qualify for both discounts.
What kind of personality do Maine Coons have?
Every cat is unique, but Maine Coons are known as the Gentle Giants of the animal kingdom. They generally have sweet, laid back temperaments, and are known for being social and friendly cats. The Maine Coons at Heritage Springs are well-socialized with children, adults, cats, and dogs so they should do well in just about any type of home.
What do you feed Maine Coon kittens?
Maine Coons are a slow-growing breed and should be fed only kitten food until they are 15 months old. The best diet for Maine Coon kittens is to feed a can of high-quality wet kitten food in the morning and at night. Cats do not have the same thirst receptors that humans do so feeding them wet food ensures they get enough water in their diet. In addition to the morning and evening meal, a high protein dry kitten food should be made available to them at all times.
