Question 1

Do you have any kittens available?

Accepted Answer

Our kittens are often reserved quickly, sometimes before they are publicly listed as available.

The best place to view current availability is our Available Kittens page, where we post available kittens, expected litters, newborn announcements, and reservation updates.

If you are searching for a specific color, gender, or bloodline, we recommend submitting an application and exploring our Priority Access Reservation Program. Priority Access families receive the earliest opportunity to select from available kittens before reservations are opened to other approved families.

Question 2

How do I reserve one of your kittens?

Accepted Answer

AristoCoon kittens are placed through an application and approval process designed to ensure the best possible match for both our kittens and their future families.

Once approved, families may secure a Priority Access Reservation position by completing the Priority Access Agreement and submitting the required Priority Access Reservation Deposit. Your reservation position is not secured until both the signed agreement and deposit have been received.

Priority Access families receive the opportunity to select from available kittens before reservations are opened to other approved families. When your reservation window opens, you will be invited to review the available kittens from your assigned litter and make your selection.

Once your kitten is selected, your Priority Access Reservation Deposit will be applied toward the purchase price of your kitten.

Families who are not participating in Priority Access may still apply and be approved. If kittens remain available after Priority Access selections have been completed, those families will be notified before any public availability announcements are made.

Question 3

How many Maine Coon kittens do you have per year?

Accepted Answer

We have roughly 2-4 litters per year at this time available for adoption.

Question 4

Is AristoCoon Cat Cattery a registered Cattery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AristoCoon Cat Cattery is a TICA-registered cattery, and our kittens are individually registered and pedigreed.

Our program is built on carefully selected, purebred Maine Coon lines, including imported European and champion bloodlines. We maintain documentation for our cats and breed with a focus on structure, health, temperament, and preserving the exceptional qualities of the Maine Coon breed.

Question 5

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

AristoCoon Cattery is located in the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area.

Our home and cattery are based in Conway, South Carolina, which is part of the greater Myrtle Beach metropolitan region. Because most families are unfamiliar with Conway, we often simply refer to our location as Myrtle Beach.

While we are proudly based in South Carolina, we work with approved families throughout the United States and regularly assist with both in-person pickup and transportation arrangements.

Question 6

Can we come to see the kittens before pick up?

Accepted Answer

No. We operate a closed cattery and do not offer in-home visits prior to kitten pickup.

This policy is common among reputable breeders and is designed to protect the health, safety, and well-being of our cats and kittens. Limiting outside traffic helps reduce the risk of introducing illness, parasites, or other environmental exposures into the cattery.

We understand that welcoming a new family member is an important decision, which is why we are happy to arrange video calls with approved families. During these calls, you can meet the kittens, see their personalities, view our cats, and get a closer look at the environment in which they are being raised.

Once your kitten is ready to go home, approved families are welcome to schedule their pickup appointment. We also assist families throughout the United States with transportation and delivery arrangements when needed.

Question 7

How Do I Avoid Scams?

Accepted Answer

Sadly, kitten scams are very common, especially with popular breeds like Maine Coons.

A major warning sign is pricing that seems too good to be true. Exceptionally low prices, especially for supposed purebred Maine Coon kittens, should be treated with caution. Reputable breeders invest heavily in health testing, registration, quality bloodlines, proper care, and responsible kitten raising.

Before sending any money, always verify that the breeder is legitimate. A reputable breeder should be able to provide registration information, documentation, clear photos and videos, communication, and a transparent placement process.

At AristoCoon, our kittens are TICA registered, raised through an application-based placement process, and come with proper documentation for registration. We also communicate directly with approved families and are happy to answer questions throughout the process.
