Understanding the Gimaine Process


What to Expect When Reserving Your Maine Coon Kitten

Welcoming a Maine Coon into your family is an exciting experience. We understand that once you reserve your kitten, the anticipation begins immediately.

At Gimaine, we value that excitement — and we also believe in being clear about how our breeding and update process works.

From a Future Owner’s Perspective

When you place a deposit, your kitten already feels like part of your home.

It’s natural to:

  • Look forward to regular updates
  • Want to see growth and changes
  • Feel eager as collection day approaches

That excitement is completely understood and respected.

Please Note Before Enquiring

For the health, safety and wellbeing of our kittens, we do not offer cattery visits or in-person kitten selection appointments.

We provide photographs, videos, temperament information and personal guidance to help you choose the kitten best suited to your family. 

Please do not request an appointment to visit, play with or select a kitten in person. We appreciate your understanding and respect for the welfare practices we have in place.

From Our Perspective as Breeders

Behind the scenes, raising a litter of Maine Coons is a full-time commitment focused on health, development and stability.

At Gimaine:

  • Every kitten is born under direct supervision
  • Nursery rooms are purpose-built — never crates
  • Litters are monitored day and night
  • Feeding, cleaning and health checks occur multiple times daily
  • Supplemental feeding can require 3-hour intervals
  • Weaning and desexing stages require close observation

Our priority is always the welfare and development of the kittens in our care.

Photography and content creation come second to hands-on care.

Our Commitment to You

While we maintain a structured update schedule, every buyer receives:

  • Veterinary health checks
  • Vaccination records
  • Microchipping
  • Desexing prior to rehoming
  • Ongoing support and guidance
Your kitten’s wellbeing is never compromised for convenience.
