The highest goal in my program is to provide highly personable kittens from truly outcrossed and fully HCM-, HD- and DNA tested ancestry, with emphasis on proper head- and bone structure.
KITTEN RESERVATION GUIDELINES
Please read carefully BEFORE inquiring. Questions most welcome!
MasterWeaver baby kittens reside in my home, under my FULL TIME care.
MasterWeaver baby kittens are raised naturally, meaning with a supplemented raw meat diet and the least amount of artificial interferences.
MasterWeaver baby kittens are of course registered, vet-checked and come with a written sales agreement and health guarantee. Their parents/ancestors are HCM/PKD tested by echocardiogram, tested for HD by X-Ray, DNA full panel gene tested with Optimal Selection and PCR tested. A routine Felv/FIV test and a stool sample is being performed in each litter.
Current Price for Pet Kitten: $ 3,500 - $ 4,000 CAD
(Tax applicable, depending on location)
Retired breeding cats are occasionally available. The adoption fee for a retired breeder is anywhere between $ 1,000 and $ 3,000, depending on age, titles and testing history. The fee includes the spay/neuter. Please ask for details.
Shipping within Canada:
Shipping by Air within Canada: Westjet or Air Canada Cargo:: $ 500 - $ 580.
(Cost includes airfare, kennel, mat and trip to the airport)
Personal Bring Service Canada and USA: $ 400 - $ 800
(Ground transport to Winnipeg, Duluth and Minneapolis to meet up at the airport)
Personal pickup: Most welcome!
Porter, Air Canada and Westjet allow a kitten to be in cabin with the owner. The in-cabin fee is between $ 50-100.
I predominantly work with wait lists and kittens are not often available on the spot.
Deposit and Waiting List Specifications:
(Please read carefully)
An initial deposit of $ 500 garantees a quality pet kitten and a spot on my wait list in 2026.
A second deposit of $ 500 is due 4 weeks after birth.
If there are not enough kittens of your desired gender, poly/non-poly or requested color on the breeding of your choice you can request to be moved to a different litter or request your deposit back.
A full refund will be given if the breeder choses to cancel the reservation, for any reason.
Deposits will not be refunded if the buyer cancels their request for personal reasons. No exceptions!
The kitten must be paid in full 2 weeks before shipping, at the latest!
For a transparent process, I will send regular updates, bi-weekly picture sets and occasional videos to my wait list. The choosing of pet kittens happens in sequence, potentially between 5 and 10 weeks (sometimes later than 10 weeks). My kittens will be ready to go to their new homes between 13 and 16 weeks of age (average is 13-14 weeks).
It is evident from countless references that I have been able to create perfect people/kitten matches over the past 36 years!
What is required of you, the purchaser?
You are required to continue with the raw meat diet and and agree to no further vaccines. Please only consider a kitten from my breeding if you are willing to feed raw and to abide to my vaccination protocol. I will mentor you with the raw meat diet and you can make yourself familiar ahead of time by reading the information on my “links” page.
It is up to you to provide plenty of love and care for your kitten.
Declawing is not allowed, and if the kitten goes outside it has to be either kept on a leash or in an outdoor enclosure.
If nobody is home during the day and there are no other pets my kittens can only be adopted in pairs!
If unforeseen circumstances require that you cannot keep the kitten any longer, I want to be notified and will try to assist in adequate re-homing.
You are required to send pictures and yearly updates on the development of your kitten. :-)
Breeding Kittens:
Absolutely NO breeding rights on pet kittens! Please don’t ask! :-)
Outcross lines are bred for the purpose of entering the gene pool. I sparsely sell breeding kittens and if I do it's only to registered, established catteries with a proper website, proof of proper testing for HCM (by echocardiogram) and HD and excellent references. Anyone newer to breeding has to have a reputable, old standing mentor and previous show experience (or willing to show). Kittens have to be kept on a raw meat diet and no further vaccines allowed!
I have my Cattery vet-inspected every few years for the TICA Outstanding Cattery Award. (On blog page). As an in-home hobby breeder, I am not open for casual visits. Buyers are very welcome to pick up their kittens in person and can be given a tour during pick-up, as long as we don’t have young kittens at that time. I would kindly ask that people visit local cat shows to see purebred Maine Coons being shown and judged. I am usually at TICA shows in Missessauga twice a year and sometimes in Calgary or Sooke once a year. Thank you.
My sales contract can be sent for viewing!
