Before you apply

Thoughtful answers for a confident decision.

We want every family to feel prepared, informed, and supported from the very beginning. Below you’ll find answers to our most common questions about pricing, reservations, health testing, go-home timing, delivery, and lifelong breeder support.

How does the adoption process work?

Our adoption process begins with an application so we can learn more about your home, preferences, and timing. Once approved, a non-refundable deposit reserves your kitten. We provide regular updates as your kitten grows, then coordinate go-home details once your kitten has completed their final wellness steps.

How much are Solstice Maine Coon kittens?

Solstice Maine Coon kitten pricing reflects the level of care, health testing, socialization, and support that goes into each kitten before they leave our home. Pricing may vary by litter, pairing, and individual kitten. Once your application is approved, we will share current availability, pricing, and reservation details.

When do I pay?

A non-refundable deposit is due once your application is approved and you are ready to reserve a kitten. The remaining balance is due before your kitten goes home. Specific timing and payment instructions are provided during the adoption process.

Do you deliver?

Yes, delivery options may be available depending on location and timing. We are located in Queen Creek, Arizona, and can discuss pickup, local delivery, or white-glove delivery options after your application is approved.

Where are you located?

Solstice Maine Coons is located in Queen Creek, Arizona. Our kittens are raised in our home, not in a separate kennel environment, so visits are handled thoughtfully and by appointment only.

What health testing do you complete?

We believe a Maine Coon deserves a foundation of uncompromising health. Our breeding cats are screened with comprehensive genetic panels, veterinary cardiac echocardiograms, and orthopedic hip evaluation. We do not believe in shortcuts and prioritize health, structure, and temperament in our breeding program.

What does each kitten go home with?

Each Solstice Maine Coon kitten goes home with TICA purebred registration, veterinary care, age-appropriate vaccines, spay or neuter, microchip identification, a 3-year genetic health guarantee, 30 days of Trupanion pet insurance, a new kitten guide, and a thoughtfully prepared Solstice go-home package.

What do you feed your kittens?

We feed a high-quality kitten diet selected to support healthy growth, digestion, and development. Before your kitten goes home, we provide feeding guidance so you can transition smoothly and keep your kitten on a consistent routine.

Do you offer breeding rights?

Breeding rights are not offered with standard kitten placements. Our kittens are placed as cherished companions and go home spayed or neutered unless a separate breeder arrangement has been discussed and approved in advance.

Do you offer stud services?

We do not currently offer public stud services. Our sires are part of our internal breeding program and are carefully paired with selected queens based on health, temperament, structure, and pedigree goals.

Can I take my kitten home unaltered?

No. Solstice Maine Coon kittens go home spayed or neutered. This protects the kitten, supports responsible breeding practices, and allows families to focus on welcoming a healthy companion into their home.

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 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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! ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
