The Solstice experience
More Than an Application, A Thoughtful Match
Our application helps us get to know your home, lifestyle, preferences, and what you’re hoping for in a Maine Coon. This allows us to guide you toward a kitten whose personality and temperament may be a wonderful fit for your family. The right match matters to us, and our relationship with our families continues long after go-home day.
From Application to Go-Home Day
Our adoption process is designed to be transparent and personal from the beginning. We’ll guide you through each step, from joining our waitlist and choosing your kitten to preparing for the day they finally come home.

Complete our application so we can learn about your household, lifestyle, preferences, and what you’re hoping for in your future Maine Coon.
02. JOIN THE WAITLIST
Once approved, a $500 nonrefundable deposit secures your place on our waitlist and is applied toward the purchase price of your kitten. Waitlist order is based on when deposits are received.
03. FOLLOW ALONG
When our kittens arrive, we share regular photos and updates as they grow. You’ll have time to watch their personalities develop before selections begin.
04. SELECT YOUR KITTEN
Selections typically begin between 6 and 8 weeks of age and are offered in waitlist order. We’ll share personality observations and help you find a kitten who complements your family, preferences, and lifestyle.
05. GET READY
After selecting your kitten, you’ll receive access to their records and important information while we complete their veterinary care, vaccinations, testing, microchipping, and spay or neuter surgery. We’ll also help you prepare for their arrival.

At approximately 12 to 13 weeks old, your kitten is ready to begin life with you. Local pickup and nationwide delivery options are available, and our support continues long after go-home day.
Planning for Your Solstice Maine Coon
Bringing home a Maine Coon is a significant commitment, and we believe families should have clear information before applying. Our pricing reflects the extensive health testing, veterinary care, socialization, and preparation that goes into every Solstice kitten.
$4,500
Solstice Maine Coon kittens with traditional paws are $4,500. A $500 waitlist deposit is applied toward the total purchase price.
$5,000
Our polydactyl Maine Coon kittens are $5,000. Availability varies by litter and cannot be guaranteed when joining the waitlist.
$500
Once your application is approved, a $500 nonrefundable deposit secures your position on our waitlist. Your deposit is credited toward the purchase price of your kitten.
Your Place, Your Preferences
Joining our waitlist does not mean you have to choose the first kitten offered to you. Families select in deposit order and may choose to wait for a future litter if the available kittens do not match their preferences.
Whether you’re hoping for a particular sex, color, personality, or a polydactyl kitten, you may remain on our waitlist until the right Solstice kitten comes along. Passing on a litter does not mean losing your place in line.
We thoughtfully plan each pairing based first on health, genetics, temperament, and the goals of our breeding program. While we can anticipate possible colors and traits from a pairing, we cannot guarantee a particular color, sex, pattern, or polydactyl status before kittens are born.

My son and I had the best experience with solstice Maine coons! Our new edition to our family was picked with so much consideration! Tiffany took so much time to learn the personalities of each family member and matched us with the perfect kitten! She made the purchase stress free by making sure the queens and sires have all been health tested! Tiffany also checks in on our new edition and helps with any questions we have about the breed!!![]()

I have to say that working with Tiffany was an amazing experience. I hadn’t raised Rag Dolls, but everyone at Solstice was so kind and helpful. They even delivered my 2 girls to my home 2 hrs away! Thank you Tiffany and her whole family for bringing Kiera and Teagan into my life. Kathy![]()

Solstice Cats Maine Coon Cattery is truly exceptional. They are a responsible and ethical breeder who clearly prioritizes the health, care, and well-being of their kittens. Their kittens receive outstanding enrichment, attention, and affection, which helps them become well-adjusted, loving, and playful companions. Tiffany communicated consistently throughout the adoption process through texts, emails, and videos. The purchase agreement was straightforward, and we received complete health records along with a comprehensive kitten care booklet specific to their cattery. We had a wonderful and positive experience and highly recommend Solstice Cats Maine Coon Cattery to anyone looking for a Maine Coon kitten.![]()

Tiffany was great to work with through the entire process. She is very responsive and communicative. She clearly is focused on the health and well-being of her kittens, which was very important to us when selecting a breeder. We received all the health records on the kitten as well as information on the parents. We decided on a black smoke female and couldn’t be happier. She is smart like the dickens and very loving. I highly recommend Solstice Maine Coons.![]()

Received Twilight (Cynthia) being exceptionally social. Bonded well with the 3 Domestic shorthair sisters in place. Solstice Main Coons are on top of everything that deals with their kittens to cats; paperwork well organized; optimized turn over of health care insurance; healthy foods feed to them. She has been with us for a month, 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 months and is already bigger than her 2 and 4 yr old sisters. Highly recommend their kittens (I await the next litter to pick from)![]()

I started my journey of wanting my dream mainecoon kitten, terrified of being scammed and losing hope of finding a legit/trustworthy breeder. Then I found Solstice, and Tiffany. I could write a novel on why her cattery is the best—truly. Tiffany is a true gem of a human, and from the start, made sure I felt more than reassured with my hundreds of questions. She’s so communicative through the entire process—including after purchase! She truly loves each of her babies, and has made sure any questions or changes we had were walked through with her guidance—her knowledge of the breed is extensive! When I have taken them to the vet, her thorough paperwork, genetic testing, and vaccine records are praised heavily! My vet stated, “this is incredible, and how it’s supposed to be!” To truly drive home how much I loved my experience with Solstice, being a repeat customer should speak for itself—I now own 6 of her mainecoon kittens! The way Tiffany raises her kittens in her home, surrounded by family and children, creates the BEST babes. Not even one of my kittens needed “transition” time—they just jump right into loving everyone and everything! They’re just simply, wonderful! Again, I could write endless praise. I am forever grateful for our fur family Tiffany and Steph have given us! If you’re looking for the breeder that doesn’t skip a step (thorough testing, genetic screening, healthcare), and truly puts their all into their animals, this is it! ❤️![]()

We adopted a member of the cosmic chaos litter, and it's clear that she's a well socialized, confident, happy and healthy kitten. She's laying on my chest as i type this, and we couldn't be happier to have her in our family. We were kept updated the whole time with pictures, emails, and texts; and it's clear that these kittens are truly cared for from the care guides, supplies, and support theyre sent home with. Tiffany facetimed us the same day we expressed interest and was able to chat with us right away about the kittens, and stayed just as steady and available a support throughout the entire process. I highly reccomend Solstice Maine Coons if you want to know that your kitty was treated with love!![]()

This is my first time getting a kitty from an experienced breeder. I recently lost my cat of 14 years and had gone back and forth about getting another. After going to Solstice’s website for the 100th time and looking at Sol, I decided to reach out. From the first time I reached out about Sol, to getting her home, Tiffany was amazing. She was so informal and made the process so easy! Sol (our kitty) is so sweet and has the best temperament. She was so calm riding in the car, she’s very affectionate and has no problem hanging out with our three children. By the second day home, we already had her outside harness training. It’s apparent Tiffany put lots of love and time into raising such a wonderful kittens. I’m so impressed by the socialization Sol has had. She didn’t shy away from any of the family and took right to our other cat in the home. Sol has already stolen our hearts and greatly softened the grief of losing Niklaus. We love her so much, she is such an amazing addition to our family. Cannot recommend Solstice Main Coons enough!![]()

Working with Solstice Maine Coons was such a great experience from start to finish. Tiffany was incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating throughout the whole process. As a wheelchair user, I was worried about how I would bond and interact with my kitten, but Tiffany went above and beyond to make sure everything would be a good fit for me. One of the sweetest things she did was teach my kitten how to shoulder sit, which has made such a difference for me. It has helped me feel more connected to my kitten, and it is honestly one of my favorite things about him. You can tell Tiffany truly cares about her kittens and the families they are going to. I would absolutely recommend Solstice Maine Coons to anyone looking for a breeder who is caring, thoughtful, and truly dedicated to their cats.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 23 reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
