Adoption Process

Bringing Home Your Kilkenny Kats Maine Coon or Exotic Shorthairs

Welcoming a new kitten into your life is an exciting journey, and we’re here to make the process as smooth and personal as possible. Whether you have your heart set on a specific kitten or are waiting for the perfect match, here’s what to expect:

Step 1: Tell Us About You

Start by filling out our Kitten Inquiry Form, it’s quick, easy, and helps us understand what you’re looking for in a furry companion. If you’ve already fallen in love with a specific kitten, let us know!

Step 2: Let’s Chat!

Once we receive your inquiry, we’ll reach out personally to talk about the best fit for you. We want to ensure our kittens go to loving homes where they’ll thrive, so this is a great time to ask questions and learn more about our cattery.

Step 3: Reserve Your Kitten

When you’ve found "the one," we require a reservation deposit of $200. to hold your kitten until they’re ready to go home. This guarantees your new companion is spoken for and allows us to continue providing top-tier care. We accept venmo.

Step 4: Preparing for Homecoming

While your kitten grows, we’ll send you updates, photos, and tips to help you prepare. Each kitten is raised in our home, socialized with love, and comes vet-checked, vaccinated, and ready to join your family.

Step 5: Pickup or Safe Delivery

When your kitten is ready (usually between 12–16 weeks old), we’ll coordinate pickup or discuss safe transport options if you’re farther away. With years of experience in shipping animals worldwide, we’ll make sure your little one arrives safely.

Step 6: Welcome to the Kilkenny Kats Family!

Bringing home a new kitten is just the beginning, we love staying in touch! We’re always here to offer guidance, answer questions, and share in the joy of watching your Maine Coon grow.
