Living Further Away?
Distance matters less than most people think. A kitten can fly with a flight nanny, who carries it in the cabin and hands it to you at your own airport, fly as airline cargo on routes that allow it, or come by ground transport. You can also fly into Minneapolis, meet Kat at the airport and carry your kitten home in the cabin.

How to Judge a Maine Coon Breeder Near You
The closest breeder is not always the best one. Whoever you buy from, these checks protect you and your kitten:
- Check the registry yourself. Look the cattery up on the registry's own website, not through a link the seller sends. Kats Kits is on the ACFA Maine Coon breeder list.
- See the kitten live. A visit or a video call with the kitten in view tells you more than any photo.
- Ask where the kittens are raised. Kittens raised in the house, handled every day, settle into family life far more easily.
- Get the terms in writing: price, deposit, health guarantee and what happens if something goes wrong. Ours are in the kitten contract.
- Expect questions back. A good breeder wants to know about your home as much as you want to know about the kitten.
- Be wary of a bargain. A purebred Maine Coon kitten advertised near you for $300 is rarely what it seems. See what a kitten should cost.
Questions to Ask Any Breeder
- Can I see the kitten and its mother on a video call?
- Which registry are you with, and are the kittens registered?
- What vaccinations and tests will the kitten have had? (Ours: see the available kittens page.)
- Are the parents health tested? (Ours: see health tests.)
- At what age do the kittens go home? (Ours go at 10 weeks.)
- What does the health guarantee cover, and is it in writing?
Questions About Finding a Kitten Near You
Why are some Maine Coon kittens advertised for $300?
A purebred Maine Coon kitten from a registered breeder rarely costs that little. Very cheap listings are often mixed breeds, kittens without papers or health checks, or scams that ask for a deposit on a kitten that does not exist. Check the breeder on the registry's own website and talk to them before you pay anything.
Can I fly to Minneapolis and take my kitten home myself?
Yes. Kat can meet you at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International (MSP), about 30 minutes from Farmington, and you carry your kitten home in the cabin in an airline-approved carrier under the seat in front of you. Book your kitten's place on the flight with the airline, as cabin spaces for pets are limited.
Is there a Maine Coon breeder near me?
If you live near the Twin Cities, Kats Kits is in Farmington, about 30 minutes south of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and Kat delivers within about an hour. If you live further away, your kitten can still come to you by flight nanny, airline cargo or ground transport.
How far is Kats Kits from Minneapolis?
About 35 minutes by car. Farmington is in Dakota County, south of the Twin Cities, and about 30 minutes from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International (MSP).
Is it better to buy a Maine Coon kitten from a breeder near me?
Closer is easier, but the breeder matters more than the distance. A well-raised kitten from a registered breeder a flight away is a better start than a cheap kitten nearby with no papers or health checks. Flying in to collect, or using a flight nanny, takes most of the problem out of distance.
