FAQs

Every kitten at Dr Thomas Kittens Home grows up indoors within our family living spaces rather than in outdoor cages or separate kennel buildings. Newborns spend their earliest weeks in a quiet, climate controlled nursery with their mother where we monitor daily weight gain and nursing strength.

Once kittens begin walking and exploring, they experience everyday household sounds, gentle handling by adults and children, interactive toy play, and regular coat brushing. This calm, structured environment builds confident kittens who seek out human companionship and adapt quickly to new homes.

Maine Coons are the largest domesticated feline breed and continue developing their full bone mass and muscular stature until three to four years of age. Adult males from our lines typically reach between eighteen and twenty five pounds, while adult females generally weigh between twelve and seventeen pounds depending on parentage.

Along with their impressive length and broad chests, our cats develop thick neck ruffs, tufted paws, and tall lynx tipped ears that give the breed its unmistakable woodland look.

Yes, every kitten is fully trained to use an open, unscented litter box and a sturdy sisal scratching post before leaving our nursery. Kittens learn these habits naturally by observing their mother from four weeks of age and practicing daily in their play area.

Although Maine Coons carry a long, plush coat with a full ruff and britches, their fur has a silky texture that resists matting much better than dense Persian coats. Combing your cat two to three times per week with a stainless steel greyhound comb keeps the coat glossy, removes loose undercoat hairs, and prevents hairballs.

Because we accustom our kittens to gentle brushing and nail trimming from infancy, most of our kittens treat grooming sessions as relaxing bonding time.
