Greek Garden
Maine Coon Kitten Application

How to Apply for a Greek Garden Maine Coon Kitten

Please read through the process before applying.

1. Application announcements
When kittens reach 8 weeks old, we announce application openings through our email list, Instagram, and Facebook. The application will become available on this page at that time and usually stays open for only a few hours, depending on the number of submissions.

Applications open publicly for each litter unless the entire litter has already been reserved by existing kitten families or held back for our program.

2. Priority order for kitten selection

1. Our cattery’s selection
2. Existing Greek Garden kitten families, who may reserve beginning around 7.5 to 8 weeks
3. Remaining applicants, with slight priority given to families hoping to adopt two or more siblings together

We no longer keep new applications on file. A new application is required for each litter you would like to be considered for, unless you are an existing kitten family who stays in touch with us.

3. Application review and video calls
Once applications close, we review each one and select homes for the kittens. This can take up to a week, and occasionally longer. If selected, you will receive a text or email letting you know which kitten or kittens we would like to consider you for.

Before any deposit or reservation is accepted, we require a 10 to 20 minute video call so you can meet the kittens. Please try to respond and schedule quickly. If we do not hear back within 24 to 48 hours, we may move on to the next applicant.

4. Contract and reservation
After the video call, if you would like to move forward, we will send the contract for your chosen kitten. You will have 24 hours to review the contract and submit the deposit to reserve your kitten.

Important notes

Kittens may be reserved starting at 8 weeks old, but they do not go home until around 12 to 13 weeks. Occasionally, kittens are held back longer if they need extra time after surgery, are not quite ready, or are being evaluated for our breeding program.

We no longer place kittens in homes where they will be the only cat. Kittens must either go home with a sibling or to a home that already has another friendly cat or kitten of any breed. This prevents the development of “Single Kitten Syndrome”.

Please read our FAQ page before applying. If your application asks questions already answered there, such as pricing, transport, or application priority, your application will receive lower priority.

We receive many wonderful applications and cannot choose every family right away. We do take note of repeat applicants and try to match suitable families within 2 to 3 application cycles when possible.
