Do we offer a health guarantee?
We guarantee our kittens leave our home healthy. A veterinarian checks them at 11 weeks old and leaves our home with signed veterinarian health certificates. We also guarantee kitten replacement if a kitten dies within one year of age due to genetic defects confirmed and proven by a veterinarian. We will choose the kittens for the replacement.
If you DO NOT plan to keep your adopted kitten/cat inside your home ONLY, please do not apply for kitten adoption. Purebred Maine Coons are neither used to nor can survive roaming the streets.
NOTE: Letting your cat outside is a breach of contract
What happens when I do not pick up the kitten on the scheduled date?
WE WILL NOT HOLD the kitten past the scheduled date to pick up your reserved kitten. Please plan accordingly and make an appointment to pick up your kitten on one of two scheduled days. People who do not make an appointment or do not show up to pick up the kitten will lose their reservation. Kittens not picked up during scheduled days will be listed as available on the website or offered to other people. There will be exceptions upon agreement. It will not be free.
Is a deposit required when reserving a kitten?
A $500 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a kitten, and reservations are made when the kittens are at least 3 -4 weeks old. The deposit is not transferable to another kitten or cat. It will be returned only when the breeder decides not to sell the kitten. We accept PayPal and personal checks for deposits.
How much does the kitten cost?
ALL MY CATS ARE EITHER EUROPEAN OR FROM EUROPEAN BREEDING LINES. Our youngest breeding boy arrived just a few months ago. European Maine Coons are longer and taller than Maine Coons bred in the USA. We have breeding and pet-quality kittens. Most kittens are sold only as pets. Breeding/show-quality kittens are sold to approved breeders. If you are interested, don't hesitate to contact us for the details. For pet kittens, females cost $2300, and males cost $2600. A discount of $100.00 is available when purchasing more than one kitten at a time. Individuals who previously bought a kitten from us receive a $50.00 discount. The discounts apply to the purchase of kittens.
When do I receive the registration papers?
When you provide a document from the veterinarian that your kitten was spayed/neutered, we will send you the registration papers in regular mail.
At what age should my cat be spayed/neutered?
Because Maine Coons cats grow very long and mature at the age of 3 to 4 years, we recommend neutering females at six months of age and males at 7- 8 months of age.
What type of cat litter should be used?
We use Master Paws® Scoopable Cat Litter.
What type of food do adult cats eat?
We value quality food very much. We continuously search for the best food for our cats. Recently, our cats have loved soft food produced by Merrick and dry food from cats and kittens. We do not recommend any food that contains fish. Our adult cats eat raw meat, which we specially prepare.
What is included in the kitten care package?
The kitten care package includes the same food the kitten has been eating at our home and is familiar with, a favorite toy, a folder with all vaccinations, deworming records, and a health certificate signed by a veterinarian. Additionally, we provide a copy of the parents' pedigrees.
What type of food the kitten eat?
Our kittens start eating solid food at 4 weeks of age. Royal Canin wet and dry baby food or " Merrick" for kitten wet and dry food. About 6-7 weeks old we add "Merrick" chicken, duck, and rabbit wet food.
Do you ship kittens?
We do not ship kittens in airline cargo. We always want to meet a family that will take care of our kitten to the end of its life. Additionally, we would like you to see the conditions in which our cats live. We live only 25 minutes from O'Hare airport, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to come and pick up your kitten.
What type of vaccinations do the kittens already have, and what is required for the kitten after adoption?
Our kittens receive two rounds of the kitten's vaccinations at 8 and 11 weeks of age, which include Rhinotracheitis, Calici, and Panleukopenia (distemper). They are also de-wormed twice. After adoption, a third vaccination series is required at 15 weeks.
How old is the kitten when it is ready to go to the new home?
The kitten must be at least 12 to 13 weeks old. According to most professional publications, veterinarian advice, and our experience, 12 to 13 weeks is the minimum time that a kitten needs to spend with its mother and siblings. This ensures that the kitten is emotionally and physically well-developed and healthy.
When can I see my kitten?
I can make you a video on request. Because our cattery is in our home, we do not allow visitation until the kitten is ready to go home.
How do you pay the balance for the kitten?
The balance is paid after you sign the contract and are ready to take the kitten home. Cash is accepted only during the kitten pick-up.
What should I do to adopt a kitten or adult cat?
You should write and fill out the questionnaire on our website (www.raydusoleil.com). At the moment, our questionnaire is not working correctly, so please write to our email address, raydusoleil@gmail.com. I will send the questionnaire by email. We care about our cats and kittens, and they are sold only to approved families or individuals who can provide the best conditions and will care for them to the end of their lives.
