4 Common Online Scams & How to Spot Them
Online pet scammers frequently create fake websites with stolen photos. Here is how to immediately identify a fraudulent seller.
Unrealistically Cheap Pricing ($500 – $800)
Ethical preservation breeding requires over $1,500+ per kitten in veterinary genetic testing, echocardiograms, and premium nutrition. Anyone advertising purebred Maine Coons for $600 is running a fraudulent advance-fee scam.
Refusal to Do Live Video Calls (FaceTime / WhatsApp)
Scammers steal photos and videos from legitimate cattery websites and cannot show you the live kitten playing in real-time. We insist on live video calls so you can see your kitten and meet the breeder.
Untraceable Payment Requests (Zelle to strange emails, Wire Transfer, Gift Cards)
Scammers insist on unverified peer-to-peer transfers with zero purchase contract. We provide written legal adoption contracts with clear health guarantees prior to any deposit.
Fake Airline Cargo 'Climate Controlled Crate' Demands
A common scam tactic is asking for sudden $800-$1,200 'refundable insurance/temperature crate' fees at an airport. We only use certified in-cabin flight nannies who hand-carry your pet in the passenger seat.
The Pure Maine Coons Verification Protocol
We hold our cattery to the highest ethical and medical benchmarks in North America.
1. Official TICA & CFA Registration
Our cattery is officially registered with The International Cat Association (TICA) and Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA). Pedigree lineage and registration certificates are provided with every kitten.
2. 100% 5-Panel DNA & Cardiac Clearance
All breeding kings and queens undergo comprehensive genetic panels (HCM, SMA, PKDef) via UC Davis veterinary genetics, plus annual echocardiograms by board-certified veterinary cardiologists.
3. Live Interactive Video Proof
Before placing any reservation deposit, schedule a live interactive FaceTime or WhatsApp call to watch your kitten play, interact with littermates, and see our sanitary nursery environment.
4. Legal Written Adoption Agreement
Every adoption is backed by a signed, legally binding health contract providing a 10-year genetic warranty against hereditary disease.
Frequently Asked Questions on Breeder Trust & Safety
help_outlineHow do I know Pure Maine Coons is a legitimate cattery?
We offer complete transparency: live FaceTime video calls, verifiable TICA/CFA registration records, official veterinary records from licensed US clinics, and hundreds of verified 5-star reviews from adopters nationwide.
help_outlineCan I do a live video call to see my kitten before putting down a deposit?
Yes! In fact, we actively encourage it. We will connect with you via FaceTime or WhatsApp video to introduce you to your kitten, show you their playful personality, and answer any care questions.
help_outlineHow does your 10-year genetic health guarantee work?
Our written contract guarantees that if your kitten is diagnosed with a congenital hereditary genetic condition (such as HCM, SMA, or severe hip dysplasia), we provide full contract protection, veterinary support, or a replacement kitten.
help_outlineHow is out-of-state delivery safely handled?
We never ship kittens as unattended cargo. A dedicated, licensed flight nanny hand-carries your kitten inside the airplane passenger cabin in a soft carrier, keeping them fed, comforted, and hydrated until handing them directly to you at your local airport terminal.
