quality, though final adult quality can not be guaranteed.

before
one year of age. The best time is at 6
months of age. Upon breeder's receipt of veterinarian's verification of
altering, which must be signed by the vet, on the
veterinarian's letterhead, the purchaser will be provided registration
papers. A spayed/neutered pet is a happier pet.
If the circumstances of the buyer

reserve the right to charge a boarding fee of $ 1.50 per day/per cat.

size. Due to the social nature of the Maine Coon Cat, the purchaser agrees to
provide frequent and loving attention.
This cat will not be outdoors without
enclosure. This cat will not be denied needed veterinary attention. If the
owner is unsure whether or not the animal is in need of medical services, a vet
will be contacted, the situation will be explained, and the vet's advice will

such as going to a new home, cats can exhibit a variety of symptoms that are
usually short in duration such as sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, diarrhea
an/or constipation. If the veterinarian feels the condition was present prior
to the sale, the breeder should be contacted prior to any treatment beginning.
If the breeder cannot be reached, action should be taken on the advice of the
