How to Avoid Maine Coon Kitten Scams: Our Verification Process

Choosing a Maine Coon kitten online should feel exciting, not unsafe.

Unfortunately, fake kitten pages, stolen photos, copied videos, and dishonest sellers are common. That is why every family should verify a breeder before sending any reservation payment.

At Lynx Rune Code, we welcome verification.

We do not ask you to trust blindly. We help you check our cattery, see the kitten in real time, review documents, understand the written agreement, and make a calm decision before reservation.

Lynx Rune Code is a registered European Maine Coon cattery based in Chișinău, Republic of Moldova.

A real breeder should never be offended by verification.

Do Not Trust Photos Only

Beautiful kitten photos are not enough.

Scammers often use stolen photos from real breeders, social media pages, or old advertisements. A photo alone does not prove that the kitten exists, that the seller owns the kitten, or that the breeder is real.

Before reserving a Maine Coon kitten, ask for real proof.

At Lynx Rune Code, families can request real videos, live video calls, real-time video proof, documents, and a written agreement before making a reservation.

Request a Live Video Call

A live video call is one of the strongest ways to verify a breeder.

During a live video call, you should be able to see the kitten in real time, observe the kitten’s movement and behavior, speak directly with the breeder, ask questions, understand where and how the kitten is raised, and confirm that the kitten is not only a photo or copied video.

At Lynx Rune Code, families are welcome to request a live video call before reservation.

A real breeder should be open to live verification.

Ask for Real-Time Video Proof

Before sending a reservation payment, families can ask for a short real-time video made especially for them.

For example, the breeder can show or say:

“For Sarah, July 5, Lynx Rune Code.”

This helps confirm that the kitten is real, the video is current, and the content was not copied from another breeder.

At Lynx Rune Code, we can provide real-time video proof with the buyer’s name or today’s date when needed.

You should not have to guess.

You should be able to verify.

Check the Official Website

A serious cattery should have a clear official website.

The website should include information about the cattery, available kittens, registration information, contact details, reviews, documents, reservation process, breeder philosophy, and verification options.

Lynx Rune Code’s official website is:

https://www.lynxrunecode.com/

A breeder should not exist only through private messages or temporary social media posts.

Check Registration Information

Families should ask whether the cattery has registration information and a public breeder identity.

Lynx Rune Code works with internationally known feline systems, including:

WCF / FIFe / TICA

Registration information helps families understand that the cattery is not an anonymous kitten listing.

Check Reviews and Family Feedback

Reviews help families understand the experience of other people.

Before reserving a kitten, check whether the breeder has public reviews, family feedback, or real updates from families who already received kittens.

Lynx Rune Code can be checked through:

Google Reviews:

Reviews are not the only verification step, but they are an important public trust signal.

Watch Real Videos Over Time

Fake pages often use a small number of copied videos. A real cattery usually has consistent video presence over time.

Families should check whether the breeder posts real videos of kittens, daily life, development, and updates.

Lynx Rune Code publishes real videos on:

YouTube:

TikTok:

Real videos help families see movement, temperament, growth, personality, and consistency.

Beautiful photos are helpful.

Real videos are stronger.

Check External Breeder Profiles

A real cattery should have public information outside its own website.

External profiles help families verify that the breeder has a public presence beyond private messages.

Lynx Rune Code has a public profile on Cat Breeder Directory:

https://cat.breeder.directory/listing/lynx-rune-code/

This gives families another public place to check breeder information.

Ask About Kitten Documents

Before making a reservation, families should ask what documents are provided and what will be completed before the kitten travels.

Depending on the kitten’s age and destination, this may include pedigree documentation, veterinary passport, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming records, veterinary preparation, and travel or delivery information.

Lynx Rune Code explains kitten documents here:

Pedigree Documentation:

https://www.lynxrunecode.com/the-trust-library/pedigree-documentation

Veterinary Preparation:

https://www.lynxrunecode.com/the-trust-library/veterinary-preparation

Documents should be discussed clearly before final confirmation.

Request a Written Agreement

A serious reservation should be clear in writing.

Before final confirmation, families should review the main terms of the reservation, including kitten identification, reservation amount, payment structure, documents, veterinary preparation, delivery explanation, responsibilities of both sides, and breeder support after arrival.

Lynx Rune Code provides information about the written agreement here:

https://www.lynxrunecode.com/the-trust-library/agreement

A written agreement helps protect both the family and the breeder.

Be Careful With Pressure and Urgency

Families should be careful if a seller pressures them to send money immediately.

Warning signs may include refusal to do a live video call, refusal to make real-time video proof, no official website, no public reviews, no documents, no written agreement, unclear delivery process, inconsistent name, phone number, or location, stolen-looking photos, or pressure like “pay now or lose the kitten.”

A serious breeder should give families time to verify.

At Lynx Rune Code, we believe families should feel comfortable before making a reservation.

No pressure.

No rush.

No blind trust.

Verify Before Sending Payment

Before sending any reservation payment, families should verify the breeder step by step.

A safer process includes:

1. Check the official website.

2. Review registration information.

3. Check reviews and family feedback.

4. Watch real videos.

5. Request a live video call.

6. Ask for real-time video proof with your name or today’s date.

7. Review kitten documents.

8. Review the written agreement.

9. Understand delivery and payment terms clearly.

10. Make a decision only when you feel comfortable.

Verification is not rude.

Verification is responsible.
