Moser Maine Coons

Moser Maine Coons is a family operated cattery in south west Minnesota. We take great care in placing our kittens with amazing families. Please review our pricing and adoption policy before submitting a Kitten Application.

The Cattery

We are a closed cattery and do not allow in-person visits or home tours in effort to limit outside exposure to our unvaccinated offspring and unnecessary stress to our pregnant/weaning Queens. Photos and videos are generally provided of development weekly. We work hard to keep families as involved in the journey as we safely can!

Pricing

Our prices range between $3,750 and $4,500 per kitten. Prices are based on color variation, type and polydactyl traits.

Wait List

We aim to pair all waitlisted families within a six (6) month timeframe whenever possible. Wait times vary depending on gender/color/characteristic preferences and can only be estimated by Breeder, never guaranteed.

Pet Only

Our kittens are sold as PET ONLY. Silver Shaded/Shell/Chinchilla coats are a highly unique and sought after trait. We do produce kittens of these colors and patterns but not in abundance. Polydactyl kittens are also highly sought after and we do have them from time to time. Prices will reflect.

Payment Methods

Moser Maine Coons accepts Venmo, credit card or wire transfer. Please indicate which method you prefer when communicating with Moser Maine Coons.

Electronic money transfers require Buyer to cover all service and transfer fees at the time of each payment to avoid acquiring an additional one hundred and fifty USD ($150) service cover charge.

Payments can not be refunded if any time frame goes beyond what Breeder has quoted.

Payments can not be refunded if Breeder’s location changes anywhere within the US. Estimated wait times are based on plans and can never be guaranteed. Heat cycles, pregnancy, infancy and Mother Nature can be very fickle, so please be patient with us. Certain things are beyond a Breeder’s control but rest assured, we will do our best to pair you with your new companion as soon as naturally possible.

This animal will have tested NEGATIVE on fecal exam prior to departure.

This animal is guaranteed to be in good health at time of sale. This general health guarantee extends three (3) days from the date of sale listed on our contract above. If this kitten contracts any illness, virus, fungus, bacteria or infection after the first seventy-two (72) hours, Breeder can not be held liable.

Breeder guarantees that this animal is, to the best of Breeder’s knowledge, free from genetic defects, congenital diseases, parasites, and in good standing health at time of sale.

All breeding Kings and Queens of Moser Maine Coons have been DNA tested through Optimal-Selection.com in a cooperative effort with our partners at TICA®. All breeding pairs have been cleared for conditions known to the Maine Coon breed such as Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction (MDR1), Cystinuria Mutation (SCL7A9), Factor XII Deficiency (FXII), Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS), Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKDef), Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).

In addition to the above genetic DNA testing, the Sire and Dam of our kittens are screened and tested for any health issues including heart conditions and murmurs.

If a Material Congenital Defect appears within the animals first year of life, the animal in question may be replaced with an animal selected by Breeder in Breeder’s sole discretion of equal value. A Material Congenital Defect must be diagnosed and documented by a certified veterinarian. If you choose to keep your cat/kitten then you will receive $500 towards future kitten.

Suspected conditions and/or inconclusive tests shall not be considered as confirmation.

Material Congenital Defects shall be defined as an underlying genetic trait that directly results in, or causes, or contributes to a health condition that either significantly reduces the life of the animal, restricts the animals normal physical activity, or causes abnormal pain to the animal. Failure to inform Breeder and provide required documentation directly through veterinarian within forty-eight (48) hours of findings will waive any right of replacement.

If the animal in question is indeed found to have developed a genetic defect that both Breeder and Buyer were unaware of prior to sale, (other than developed mild/moderate forms of dysplasia which can occasionally appear in this breed regardless of parental genetic testing) Breeder will share all findings, test results and diagnosis provided with Breeder’s veterinarians and specialists of choice. Only then can Breeder agree to provide a self chosen replacement kitten of equal value to Buyer within one (1) years time of diagnosis.

Prior to any reimbursement, Breeder reserves the right to request a second veterinary in- person opinion through requested testing at Breeder’s expense.
