Kitten Scams Come in Many Forms
Online kitten scams are no longer limited to obviously fake websites.
Buyers may encounter stolen kitten photos, copied breeder pages, fake social media profiles, nonexistent litters, fraudulent deposits, impersonation of legitimate breeders, or sellers who disappear as soon as payment is sent.
Some scams are easy to recognize. Others can look surprisingly convincing.
And because choosing a kitten is an emotional decision, families can lose significant amounts of money before realizing that the kitten — or even the breeder — never existed.
Why Midwest Maine Coons Is Different
Midwest Maine Coons was created as a network of real, established Maine Coon breeders and breeding programs that we personally know and trust.
Our website is not an open marketplace.
Kittens cannot simply be posted here by anyone who wants to sell one. Every kitten featured on Midwest Maine Coons comes through our own program or a cattery within our trusted professional network.
That means you are not searching through anonymous advertisements and trying to determine on your own who is legitimate.
We have already done that part for you.
Our Website Is Your Protection
When you find a kitten on Midwest Maine Coons, you can submit your inquiry directly through our website and communicate through a process we oversee.
We know the breeders behind the kittens we represent, we know where those kittens come from, and we do not allow unknown third-party sellers into our catalog.
Our goal is simple:
to give families one trusted place to find a real Maine Coon kitten from a real breeder — without gambling on an unknown seller somewhere online.
