Maine Coon Adoption Process
Finding the right home for each kitten is extremely important to us at Wildcat Creek Cattery. Our adoption process is designed to help match our kittens with loving, prepared families while making the experience smooth, exciting, and stress-free.
We are a small in-home Euroline Maine Coon cattery located in Kokomo, proudly serving families across Indiana and throughout the United States.
1
Submit a Kitten Application
The first step is completing our kitten application. This helps us learn more about your home, lifestyle, previous pet experience, and what you are looking for in a Maine Coon companion.
Our goal is not just to place kittens quickly — it is to create the best long-term match for both the kitten and the family.
After your application is reviewed, you will receive an email letting you know whether you have been approved.

Families are contacted in order of deposits received while also considering gender and color preferences.
Because Maine Coons are in high demand, many families choose to join our reservation list before kittens become available.
