- Pet Transport Services: Some Clients may use professional pet transport companies that specialize in safe and humane travel for pets.
- Health and Safety: Kittens are often vaccinated, vet-checked, and come with the necessary health documentation before they are shipped, including a health certificate and possibly microchipping. Ensure that the kitten’s vaccination schedule is up-to-date, and check if any additional steps are needed for international travel.
1.2. Local Pickup:
- In-person Pickup: If you’re within a reasonable distance from the breeder, you may have the option to pick up the kitten in person. This allows you to meet the breeder, see the environment the kittens have been raised in, and ask any last-minute questions.
1.3. Delivery Timeframes:
- Shipping Time: Delivery times can vary depending on your location and the chosen shipping method. Domestic air shipping within the U.S. can typically take 1–3 days. For international shipments, it may take longer and involve additional steps for customs clearance.

2. Payment Options for BuyMainCoonKittens:
2.1. Payment Methods:
-
Zelle:
- Possibility: Zelle is a direct bank transfer service that allows for fast, fee-free payments between bank accounts. We accept Zelle, especially we prefer instant transfers and don’t want to deal with payment processing fees.
- Important Note: If Zelle is accepted, make sure to confirm the our payment tag/bank details carefully, as Zelle payments are difficult to reverse. Always use this method and trust it with our sales team.
Bitcoin:
- Possibility: We accept cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, especially if they are tech-savvy or have a global customer base. However, it’s not as commonly accepted as traditional payment methods for purchasing Kittents.
- Important Note: Cryptocurrency transactions are fast and reliable. Also, exchange rates for cryptocurrency can fluctuate, so the price of the kitten might change depending on when the transaction is completed.
Apple Pay:
- Possibility: Apple Pay is a digital wallet service that allows you to make payments through your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Some we accept Apple Pay.
- Important Note: Before choosing Apple Pay, confirm that the sales team is active and accepts it, as it’s still not as universally available for personal transactions as credit cards or PayPal.
PayPal:
- Possibility: PayPal is one of the most widely accepted payment methods for online transactions, and use it because of its ease of use, buyer protection, and security features.
- Important Note: PayPal offers protection for both buyers and sellers, so it’s a safer option compared to other methods. Be sure to choose PayPal Friends and Family when making the payment, as this ensures that you’re protected if any issues arise with the transaction (such as receiving an unhealthy kitten or not receiving it at all) we take responsibility.
Cash App:
- Possibility: Cash App is another peer-to-peer payment method that has gained popularity. Like Zelle, it allows for easy transfers between bank accounts, but it is not as widely accepted by businesses or for higher-value purchases.
- Important Note: Be careful with Cash App, as the transactions are often immediate and irreversible. Always make sure that you’re dealing with the given infomation from our sales team before using Cash App for such a large transaction.
Which Payment Methods Are Most Likely to Be Accepted?
-
Most Likely Accepted: PayPal is by far the most widely accepted payment method. It’s secure, offers buyer protection, and is commonly used for online transactions.
-
Possibly Accepted: Zelle, Apple Pay, and Cash App are accepted, who are more tech-savvy or prefer faster transactions. However, their availability might be more limited, so it’s important to ask the sales team directly if they accept these options.
-
Least Likely Accepted: Bitcoin may be accepted sometimes, but this is more of a niche payment method for those who are comfortable with cryptocurrency. If you’re interested in using Bitcoin, ask the the sales team beforehand if it’s an option.
Important Considerations:
-
Confirm Payment Methods Before Paying: Always confirm the accepted payment methods with the sales teams before proceeding. This helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures that you’re using the most secure payment option.
-
Security and Buyer Protection: PayPal, in particular, offers buyer protection that can be helpful if there are any issues with the kitten you purchase (e.g., health problems or non-delivery). Peer-to-peer payment methods like Zelle, Cash App, or Bitcoin are all secured and accepted options.
-
Transaction Fees: Some payment methods (like PayPal and Cash App) may charge fees, especially for credit card payments. Make sure you clarify whether the fees will be included in the total price or if you’ll need to cover them separately.
-
Deposit & Final Payment: If you’re placing a deposit, ask if it’s refundable, especially with methods like Zelle or Cash App, where reversibility is limited. For PayPal, refunds are possible if the transaction is done through to the sales team and as a “Friends and Family” transfer.
- 2.2. Deposit Requirement:
- Non-Refundable Deposit: A deposit is generally required to reserve a kitten. The amount can range from $100 to $500 or more, depending on the how long you are willing to reserve the kitten. This deposit is often non-refundable, but it will be deducted from the final price of the kitten. It secures your spot for a particular kitten or a future litter.
2.3. Full Payment:
- Final Payment: The full payment for the kitten is typically due before the kitten is shipped, or when you pick it up in person. Some we accept payment plans, particularly for more expensive kittens, but this needs to be arranged in advance.
2.4. Pricing Information:
- Kitten Pricing: Prices for Maine Coon kittens can vary depending on factors like pedigree, coloring, and other characteristics. On average, prices range from $5,00 to $2,500 or more for high-quality, purebred kittens.
- Additional Fees: Be sure to ask about additional costs, such as shipping fees, registration (if applicable), and any health testing fees that may apply. Some we offer packages that include vaccinations, microchipping, and a health guarantee as part of the price.
3. Health Guarantee & Contracts:
- Health Guarantee: We provide a health guarantee, usually covering issues like genetic defects or serious health problems that are detected soon after purchase. This guarantee is often valid for a set period (e.g., 1 year).
- Purchase Contract: When purchasing a kitten, you will likely sign a contract that outlines the terms of the sale, including details about the kitten’s health guarantee, the breeder’s policies on returns or refunds, and the responsibilities of both the buyer and seller.
