Comprehensive Health Protection for Your Maine Coon Kitten
Dr Thomas Kittens Home raises purebred Maine Coon kittens with a steadfast focus on genetic clarity, preventative veterinary medicine, and emotional security. When you welcome a kitten from our cattery into your household, you are investing in a companion meant to share fifteen or more years of affection and companionship by your side. Our written Health Guarantee reflects the confidence we hold in our bloodlines and provides clear, fair protection for every adopting family across the United States.
Every adult breeding cat in our home undergoes DNA screening and cardiac evaluations before ever being paired. Kittens are raised indoors in sanitary nursery suites, nourished on premium feline diets, and examined multiple times by our licensed veterinarian prior to placement. This page outlines what our guarantee covers, how the initial veterinary checkup works, and how we partner with you to support your cat’s lifelong wellness.
Coverage Provided Under Our Written Guarantee
Viral and Infectious Disease Assurance at Arrival
Every kitten leaves Dr Thomas Kittens Home guaranteed to be 100% healthy and free from life threatening viral diseases, including Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, as well as severe upper respiratory or systemic infections. Each kitten arrives with an up to date health record signed by a licensed veterinarian documenting all physical exam findings, core immunizations, and deworming treatments administered in our care.
Adopting families are required to have their new kitten examined by a licensed veterinarian of their choice within seventy two hours of pickup or delivery arrival, excluding Sundays and federal holidays. Should the examining veterinarian identify a serious pre existing infectious illness or disqualifying physical condition that was present prior to transfer, the buyer may return the kitten with the veterinarian’s written report for an immediate full refund or a replacement kitten of equal value.
One Year Hereditary and Congenital Guarantee
In addition to our seventy two hour arrival assurance, Dr Thomas Kittens Home provides a full one year written guarantee from the date of birth against lethal or severely debilitating congenital and hereditary defects. This coverage specifically includes hereditary Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency, polycystic kidney disease, and severe congenital organ malformations.
If a licensed veterinary specialist diagnoses a covered congenital or hereditary defect within the one year guarantee period that substantially impairs the kitten’s quality of life, Dr Thomas Kittens Home will provide a replacement Maine Coon kitten of comparable quality and value, or offer a mutually agreed financial reimbursement toward veterinary care so the family can keep their beloved companion.
Owner Responsibilities to Maintain Coverage
Timely Veterinary Care and Indoor Safety
Maintaining a kitten’s health requires collaboration between the breeder and the new owner. To keep this Health Guarantee active, the adopting family must complete the initial seventy two hour veterinary wellness examination and follow their veterinarian’s recommended schedule for booster vaccinations, annual physical checkups, and monthly parasite prevention.
Maine Coon kittens must be kept strictly indoors or within secure, enclosed catios. Allowing a kitten to roam outdoors unsupervised exposes them to vehicular trauma, wildlife, toxic plants, and contagious feline viruses, which immediately voids the guarantee. Furthermore, because surgical declawing causes severe orthopedic and behavioral harm, declawing any kitten from Dr Thomas Kittens Home voids all health coverage.
Proper Large Breed Feline Nutrition
Because Maine Coons experience prolonged skeletal and muscular growth compared to average domestic cats, proper nutrition is vital during the first twenty four months. Owners agree to feed high quality, meat first wet and dry feline diets containing adequate taurine, animal protein, and essential fatty acids, and to provide constant access to clean drinking water. Transitioning gradually over seven to ten days from the starter food provided in your kitten kit prevents digestive upset during the first week home.
Limitations and Claim Resolution Process
Routine Adjustments and Non Covered Items
Our guarantee covers genuine congenital, hereditary, and pre existing medical conditions rather than minor, treatable adjustments that can occasionally follow travel stress. Mild temporary loose stool from dietary changes, common internal or external parasites acquired after leaving our cattery, accidental household injuries, or cosmetic traits such as coat shade variations or adult weight differences do not fall under hereditary warranty coverage.
How to Submit Veterinary Documentation
Should a health concern ever arise, we ask families to reach out to us promptly at info@drthomaskittenshome.com. Early communication often allows us to share helpful breeder insight alongside your veterinarian’s medical care. For formal guarantee claims, simply email a copy of the licensed veterinarian’s diagnostic report, laboratory or ultrasound results, and clinical notes within forty eight hours of diagnosis. We review every report with compassion and fairness, always placing the comfort and wellbeing of your Maine Coon kitten first.
