Buying Process

Step-By-Step

Congratulations, you have picked out your Maine Coon Kitten! Please allow me to walk you through the purchase process.


Step 1: Proof

Proof your kitten is 100% REAL.

  • Prior to payment I am happy to prove your kitten is real with a video of the kitten and with your specific details (example: name, phone number) that can’t be faked. No other Maine Coon Breeder provides more photos & videos of each kitten than I do.

Video proof of your 100% real kitten!

Additional Verification

You can verify I am a REAL breeder using the following:

  • TICA - The International Cat Association

    • TICA membership, TICA voluntary code of ethics, TICA cattery number and TICA website listing. All of these items can be double-checked.

  • CFA - Cat Fancier Association

    • CFA membership, CFA cattery number and CFA website listing. All of these items can be double-checked.

  • Social Media

    • I have years of social media posts, thousands of photos & video. Ensuring your kitten and breeder are 100% REAL.

  • Tennessee Secretary of State Website

    • LOVING LYNX LLC is now legally listed on the Tennessee Secretary of State Website. I have now registered as a LLC so you can search a verified government website, proving that I am fact 100% real. Search “Loving Lynx” on the “business information search” page.


Step 2: Payment

Contract is signed before any payment!

  • Prior to any payment, both parties will sign a sales contract through DocuSign® signature service, I pay for this reputable legal signing service.

  • Zelle® money request for the holding fee.

  • Full payment will be cash in person. However if cleared a minimum week in advance before pickup I accept bank wire transfers or Zelle®.

  • No personal checks, installments or PayPal®.


Step 3: Prepare

Getting a new kitten is an exciting time! Please read through my care guide that will help bringing home your new furry family member.


Step 4: Pick-up or Delivery

I look forward to meeting all owners personally at my home for pickup. Please understand this is my family home not a pet store, I have kids to protect. Because of this home visits are for pick-up of your chosen kitten. To prevent biohazards that can be transmitted I DO NOT offer tours of my home. I am also happy to meet you at the Knoxville TN (TYS) airport at no charge or around Knoxville TN within reasonable distance. Hand delivery service by myself is possible at additional cost.

Pickup appointment is REQUIRED to collect your baby.
