Ethical Adoption Guide

Our Philosophy
Breeding means taking care of life in a responsible way. For this reason, every kitten born at Elinor Woods is the result of conscious choices, respect for the Maine Coon breed, and great love for animals.

Adoption Criteria

  • Adoption only after an introductory interview.
  • Completion of a pre-adoption questionnaire is required.
  • Adoption only to those who can guarantee suitable living conditions (space, time, affection).

Requirements for Adopters

  • A safe and protected environment (secured balconies, no household hazards).
  • Sufficient time to take care of the kitten.
  • Financial stability to support the cat over time (food, veterinary care, grooming).

Our Commitments

  • Kittens are placed only after 14 weeks of age.
  • Vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and with ANFI pedigree.
  • Litter-trained, accustomed to human contact, and used to grooming.

Adopter’s Commitments

  • Guarantee a dignified and respectful life.
  • Do not leave the cat alone for too many hours a day.
  • Keep in touch with the cattery during the first months of the kitten’s life.
