Socialization At MurrKatz, every kitten is raised inside our home and handled daily from the time they are born. They grow up around adults, children and dogs, which helps them develop confidence, curiosity and a steady temperament. Because they experience normal household sounds, gentle handling and lots of interaction, our kittens leave for their new homes well-adjusted and ready to settle comfortably into family life. We believe that early socialization is one of the most important parts of raising exceptional Maine Coons, and we take great care to ensure every kitten receives the attention and exposure they need to thrive.

Quick Navigation Available Kittens Adoption Application Delivery & Pickup Information Kitten Contract Things to Consider More About Maine Coon Cats Adopting a Maine Coon is a long-term commitment. This breed often lives 13+ years, so you are committing to many years of care. Maine Coons mature slowly. They may take up to four years or more to reach their full size and adult development. At MurrKatz we want our kittens to go to homes that meet our criteria, so you must submit an application for pre-approval. Once approved, you will be notified when kittens are ready for reservation. Being approved does not automatically reserve a kitten for you. A non-refundable deposit is required to hold your selected kitten once the reserve date is active. You will arrange payment of the balance and delivery once the kitten is 11 weeks old, with the kitten going home at approximately 12 weeks. Because Maine Coons grow large and are very social, make sure your home, lifestyle and family are ready for a big, active and affectionate “gentle giant”. We value continued connection.
