Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know X-Maine is a reputable breeder?

We're affiliated with CFA and TICA, attend cat shows with our breeding cats, provide complete health testing and genetic screening, and offer lifetime support. We never use "Buy Now" buttons or have kittens constantly available - quality over quantity is our priority.

We have an application process to ensure our kittens go to the best homes. After approval, we schedule video calls or visits so you can meet the kittens. We provide a written contract, health guarantee, and full veterinary records. Payment is only accepted when the kitten is in your hands.

Red flags include prices under $2,000, refusal to video chat, poor grammar on websites, no health records or pedigrees, and "always available" kittens. Legitimate breeders provide proof of registration (CFA/TICA), allow video calls to see their cattery, have an application process, and offer ongoing support. Never send money without seeing the kitten via live video first. Click here to find more information.

All our breeding cats undergo thorough health and genetic testing. Kittens receive age-appropriate vaccinations and veterinary care before going home. We provide a written health guarantee that covers hereditary illnesses, and we commit to taking the kitten back at any point in its life if you can no longer care for it.
