Health Guarantee
At Milton Cattery , the health, happiness, and long term wellbeing of every kitten is our highest priority. Each Maine Coon is raised with care, compassion, and strict health standards from birth. We proudly stand behind the quality of our kittens by offering a comprehensive Health Guarantee designed to give families complete confidence and peace of mind.
This guarantee reflects our commitment to ethical breeding, transparency, and lifelong responsibility to the kittens we raise.
1. 72 Hour Initial Health Guarantee
We provide a 72 hour health evaluation period after your kitten arrives in your home.
Within 72 hours of delivery, your kitten must be examined by a licensed veterinarian. If your veterinarian identifies a serious or life altering health condition that was present prior to adoption and not caused by travel stress or environmental changes, you must notify us immediately.
After review of the diagnosis, we will work with you in good faith to determine a fair resolution, which may include:
A replacement kitten of equal value when available
Consultation and guidance from our veterinarian
Supportive care recommendations
This guarantee ensures that your kitten arrives healthy, stable, and ready to begin bonding with your family.
2. One Year Genetic Health Guarantee
We are committed to responsible and ethical breeding practices that prioritize genetic health and stability. Every kitten from Milton Cattery is covered by a one year genetic health guarantee.
If your kitten is diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian with a serious genetic or hereditary condition within one year of adoption that significantly impacts quality of life or lifespan, we will offer a replacement kitten at no additional cost.
Covered conditions include major hereditary disorders confirmed through veterinary diagnosis.
This guarantee reflects our confidence in our bloodlines and our dedication to preserving the health and integrity of the Maine Coon breed.
3. Comprehensive Veterinary Clearance Before Departure
No kitten leaves our care without full veterinary clearance. Prior to delivery or shipping, each kitten receives:
A complete physical examination
Age appropriate vaccinations
Routine deworming treatments
FIV and FELV testing when applicable
General wellness assessment
Official veterinary health certificate
These steps ensure your kitten is healthy, strong, and prepared for a safe and comfortable transition into their new home.
4. Raised in a Clean and Loving Home Environment
A kitten’s early environment plays a critical role in long term health and temperament. At Milton Cattery , all kittens are:
Raised indoors
Never kept in cages
Surrounded by family interaction
Socialized with children and adults
Exposed to everyday household routines
Our environment is carefully maintained, sanitized regularly, climate controlled, and enriched with toys, climbing structures, and interactive play. This approach supports strong immune systems, emotional stability, and confident personalities.
We provide high quality nutrition and closely monitor growth and development from the earliest stages of life.
5. Limitations of the Health Guarantee
This Health Guarantee does not cover conditions that arise from circumstances beyond our control, including:
Accidents or injuries after arrival
Neglect, improper care, or unsanitary living conditions
Illness caused by exposure to other animals
Stress related conditions after travel
Parasites such as fleas, ticks, or worms
Minor or easily treatable kitten conditions
Vaccine reactions
FIP, as no breeder can ethically guarantee against it
Veterinary expenses after the kitten has left our care are not covered unless explicitly stated in writing.
We believe in transparency and fairness and expect all families to provide proper nutrition, routine veterinary care, and a safe, loving environment.
Our Commitment to You
We provide this Health Guarantee because:
We believe deeply in the quality of our breeding program
We follow strict health, sanitation, and nutrition standards
We genuinely care about every kitten we raise
We want families to feel protected and confident
We stand behind our Maine Coons for life
When you adopt from Milton Cattery , you are choosing more than a breeder. You are choosing a responsible, ethical, and compassionate cattery committed to your kitten’s health and wellbeing long after adoption.
