Unfortunately, that number is dependent on a number of factors such as the cost of food, vet bills and other associated costs like kitty litter, grooming products, toys etc. You can expect to pay between $1,100 and $3,000 anywhere in Australia (and sometimes more!) for a pedigreed, well-socialised, healthy kitten

What does your cost involve?

Other than a beautiful addition to your family, each kitten comes with their pedigree, first two vaccinations, worming up to date, microchipping and they will be desexed. They also come with a ‘goodie bag’ containing samples of their food, toys, generally a harness, all of their paperwork, an individualised care booklet, their graduation photo, their health book, a health certificate and their contract. There’s also a freebie in there from Royal Canin should you wish to send for it.

I’ve brought my kitten home and he/she isn’t eating the food you sent

Please try to remember that your baby has spent the first three months of it’s life in familiar surroundings. It may just want to explore or, it may be like a LOT of Maine Coons and simply be fussy. Please try another (good) food and if all else fails, the smell of a roast chicken from the supermarket will work just about every time. That’s not a long term solution but it will assist your kitten to eat and settle in – although most Maine Coons just come in and take over! Alternatively, please call me or take your baby to their vet.

My kitten is sneezing all the time – it must have a terrible disease.

Before rushing off to the nearest priest – have a look around your home and see what else might be causing this. Do you have indoor plants? Do you burn incense? What about your cleaning products – are they safe for cats? That includes your washing detergent. Do you have plug-in room deodorisers? All of these things can be toxic and/or allergy producing for cats. It’s always a good idea to check with your vet – but sometimes some simple home changes can resolve the issue easily.

My kitten/cat is peeing on my bed/pooing outside the tray – toilet issues

There can be times when cats suffer from UTIs just like humans – but if there is no straining or difficulty going to the toilet, these issues are generally behavioural. So before you get ready to strangle said cat…check the following;

Does the kitten have two trays? Maine Coons like to pee in one and poo in the other (I don’t know why – but thank goodness for automatic litter trays, I say)
Does the kitten need to share a tray? The rule of thumb is one tray each and one more for good luck. Some Maine’s will share- others will not. Try putting a clean tray somewhere new.
Maine Coons will absolutely not use a dirty tray. (Be happy about that when it comes to grooming).
Has something changed in the household? Something as simple as moving furniture or putting up new curtains can upset a cat (any cat) enough to feel stressed for a while.
Please DO NOT punish your cat for this behaviour, it strengthens the fear of toileting normally and you will end up with a cat that uses the house as it’s toilet.

Maine Coons are also known for being extremely intelligent and easy to train. In fact, many owners say that their Maine Coon is more like a dog than a cat! They are quick learners and can be taught tricks, manners, and even how to use the toilet (yes, really!).
