For a future Maine Coon owner
Responsible Maine Coon breeders will not breed cats that have not been medically tested for the genetic diseases HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy), SMA (Spiral Muscular Atrophy), PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) and viral diseases. We do not recommend buying a Maine Coon kitten before 4 months of age.There is another important reason, why a kitten should be taken home only after three months, is vaccination. The first vaccinations are given to the animal at the age of 8 weeks. Revaccination is carried out after 3-4 weeks + quarantine. That is, a kitten leaving the house later than 4 months should be protected as much as possible from various viruses and infections.
Therefore, in order for a mentally and physically healthy kitten to appear in your house, playful, cheerful, INDEPENDENT and EDUCATED, do not rush to take him away from the cat-mother earlier than in four months age.
Make sure that the breeder you have chosen has his cattery registered with one of the international feline organizations such as: WCF (World Cat Federation) , FIFe (Federation Internationale Feline) , TICA (The International Cat Association)...
