"Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat."

Adoption Process

Complete Adoption Application

Timberkatz Cattery takes very seriously the placement of our kittens. We are a small cattery having a few litters per year and carefully screen all potential buyers as make sure that our kittens are placed in loving homes. As the very first step in our adoption process, we ask that you complete our Adoption Application which provides us with an opportunity to learn about you and your family.

Timberkatz Cattery Will Contact You

Once we receive your application, Neli will contact you within 24 - 48 hrs with information concerning our current litters or plans for upcoming litters. You may also check our Litter Announcements to see when new litters are available.

When contacted, you will be able to ask Neli any questions that you have about the cattery, the Maine Coon breed, our kittens or whatever other questions you may have. We are a resource for you to learn from and will continue being one even after your kitten leaves the cattery.

Contracts And Deposits

Once it's time to reserve your bundle of joy, a deposit and a signed sales agreement will be required to hold your kitten. This confirms to us that you are a serious kitten buyer and insures the kitten you want has been reserved for you. Lastly, the remaining payment due to be paid 10 days BEFORE your kitten is to be picked up.
