ADVICE, CONDITIONS OF SALE AND PRICE KITTEN
Advice before any adoption
Adopting an animal is not decided on a whim but seen as a carefully considered life project. An animal is a living, sensitive being that will accompany you for 10 or 15 years. You must also be sure to be able to offer him everything he will need throughout his life :
-To devote time to him in order to be present for him. The Maine Coon is a very sociable cat that needs company.
-Provide him with the necessary medical care. The Maine Coon is not a particularly fragile cat but like any animal, it must be able to pay the medical expenses that may arise during its life.
-Being able to provide him with quality food and to cover the costs of routine care. The annual maintenance cost of a cat is 650 € for a mixed dry and wet food diet, quality litter and routine care at the veterinarian (vaccine reminder, deworming, flea and annual check-up).
-Provide him with a secure environment for the outdoors. Never let your cat go out unsupervised. Favor outings in a harness or in a secure enclosure to protect your animal from outside dangers (cars, theft, fights, illnesses, etc.).
-Make room in your home for the arrival of your cat. Plan to install a large, robust and stable cat tree in a living room where it can scratch, be high up to observe or take refuge there in case of stress. Have space to separate your pet's bowls, litter and bedding.
Find all our advice for preparing for the arrival of your kitten in our adopter's guide and the LOOF kitten welcome booklet.
We remain available to answer any questions or give advice for the well-being of our kittens and their future masters, even once they have left the breeding.
We strongly urge you to read this information before contacting us.
