Your kitten has been exclusively fed a balanced raw diet since four weeks of age, as recommended by reputable Maine Coon breeders in Seattle. The recipe is included in your information packet. While feeding raw is beneficial, it is a commitment and not required. A few days' worth of their current food will be provided to help transition them to the food of your choice. Dry food contains indigestible carbohydrates, so wet food is recommended at least three times daily. Tiki brand wet food is a great option, or any wet food free of fillers, fruits, and vegetables. Cats require only meat and bone in their diet. You can offer occasional raw snacks like liver, heart, or chicken gizzards.
Kittens, especially those from Maine Coon breeders in Seattle, should have unlimited access to food until they reach one year old. It's advisable to offer at least 1/2 cup of food three times daily. If they finish quickly and still seem hungry, provide more. At our home, food is always available. Keep in mind that between 14 weeks and 6 months, kittens experience a significant growth spurt and will eat more. Ensure they get enough food to support their growth.
Your kitten is accustomed to ceramic pellets. Young Maine Coon kittens may try to eat clumping clay litter, so we suggest using unscented litter. Strong artificial scents can deter them from using the litter box. These kittens are used to both covered and uncovered litter boxes. Keep your Maine Coon kitten in a smaller area, such as a bedroom, for the first couple of days so they can adjust. Allowing too much space too soon may lead to inconsistent litter box use, which is something to consider.
Providing cat trees or scratchers in every major room is essential for preventing kittens from scratching furniture, especially for those adopting Maine Coon kittens for sale near Seattle, WA. Without an appropriate scratching surface, these playful kittens may resort to scratching furniture or carpet instead. A sturdy, well-built cat tree is highly recommended, as smaller trees may be quickly outgrown by Maine Coon kittens. For durable options, we suggest checking out CatTreeKing.com.
Your kitten has received two core vaccinations against: Feline Panleukopenia (Distemper), Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), and Feline Calicivirus (FCV). You and your vet can decide on a third dose, though we do not administer one ourselves. Before proceeding, research how over-vaccination impacts the immune system. If you're considering vaccinations for Leukemia or Rabies for your Maine Coon kittens, wait until the kitten is at least six months old and avoid vaccinating during stressful events like spay/neuter surgery. Be sure to consult with your vet about vaccination schedules for your new pet.
We recommend that kittens should be spayed or neutered between five and six months of age.
Your kitten has not been microchipped, which is important for identifying your pet. Since the procedure uses a large needle, we recommend having it done during their spay/neuter surgery to minimize discomfort.
As responsible Maine Coon breeders in Seattle, we do not use any flea control products! Thanks to their raw diet, our Maine Coon kittens are less susceptible to fleas. If needed, we recommend using Revolution (not Revolution Plus, as some cats have experienced seizures from it). We take pride in offering healthy Maine Coon kittens for your family.
Many air fresheners, especially plug-ins, can be toxic to cats. If you're a cat owner it's essential to research and ensure a safe environment. Always check the safety of any air fresheners or essential oils you plan to use in your home, particularly if you have Maine Coon kittens.
A slicker brush and comb are essential tools for grooming your Maine Coon. We recommend this Brush Set for maintaining the coat of your Maine Coon kittens. If you encounter mats, it's best to use beard trimmers or pet clippers instead of scissors to avoid accidentally cutting the skin. For reliable grooming, check out these recommended Pet Clippers, especially suited for kittens.
Kittens lose their baby teeth between three months and one year. This process can lead to swollen gums and bad breath. To help with teething and promote overall health, providing raw chicken gizzards, hearts, or wings for them to chew on is beneficial. Some vets may be overly cautious regarding sore gums in teething kittens, but remember that their discomfort will resolve as their adult teeth come in. Therefore, it's best to avoid unnecessary procedures like extractions or cleanings.
All of our Maine Coon kittens are priced at $3500. A deposit of $500 is required, with the remaining $3000 due in cash upon delivery. If you're looking for Maine Coon breeders near Seattle or anywhere in Washington State, we have the perfect options for you.
