Ellisville & Manchester Maine Coon Pickup

Ellisville and Manchester sit close to Ballwin along the Manchester Road corridor, making a same-day or same-evening appointment possible when a time slot is open. Dashing Coons is based in Ballwin, Missouri 63021, and this guide is intentionally one practical resource for both neighboring communities.

Nearby does not mean walk-in

Being close to Ballwin makes planning easier, but the process still starts with a text to 618-973-6926. Visits are scheduled by appointment, not offered as drop-ins. That protects the home routine for the cats and makes sure a serious buyer has time to talk through a kitten's status, personality, and go-home timing.

An open appointment slot can sometimes make an after-work visit practical. It does not mean the door is open for an unannounced arrival. Text first with Ellisville or Manchester, the kitten you are considering, and a few times that work for you.

A Ballwin program for West County families

Dashing Coons is a TICA-registered European Maine Coon program with a maximum of three queens under direct care. European-line Maine Coons can have fuller coats, tall ear furnishings, and square muzzles, while each kitten's development remains individual. Smoke coats develop gradually, and some litters include polydactyl kittens.

Current September 2026 availability

The Harry Potter litter, Spooky × Cheetoe, was born August 8, 2026 with a go-home window of October–November 2026. At the time of this draft, the current snapshot is:

• Available: Dobby — $4,000; Luna Lovegood — $4,000; Nymphadora Tonks — $4,000; Severus Snape — $3,500.
• Reserved: Sirius Black — $3,500; Minerva McGonagall — $4,500.

The live Available Kittens page takes priority over this snapshot because availability changes when a deposit clears. If the four available kittens are gone, see Future Litters or the contact and waitlist page.

Same-day and same-evening realities

For Ellisville and Manchester buyers, Ballwin pickup is usually the simplest plan. Once a visit is confirmed, build in enough time to talk, plan for around 30–60 minutes, and bring a secure hard-sided carrier for go-home. The appointment is not a promise of immediate pickup; go-home follows the litter's development and the agreed timing.

Personal hand-delivery can be discussed by arrangement if a family needs it, but it is not a default service for nearby towns. When it is arranged, the kitten travels personally with Dashing Coons and never as cargo. Read delivery, pickup, and travel for the published approach.

Deposit and reservation steps

1. Text 618-973-6926 with “Ellisville” or “Manchester” and your preferred kitten's name.
2. Confirm current availability and request an optional video if helpful.
3. Arrange an appointment visit when a suitable slot is available.
4. Review the reservation details before payment.
5. A $1,000 deposit reserves one kitten; a $1,500 deposit reserves a pair, applied to the total placement price.
6. Keep the text thread open for updates as October–November go-home approaches.

Breeding-rights placements are on hold. Current placements are for pets.

Preparing for a neighbor visit

The evening before an appointment, reread the kitten card, gather your questions, and confirm the location and time by text. Avoid treating a nearby ZIP code as a reason to skip verification. A consistent website, direct contact, an appointment plan, and clear deposit terms are more useful than a rushed visit.

After you reserve, save the confirmation and use the existing conversation for real questions about the kitten's routine and pickup plans.

Neighbor questions

Is Ballwin really close enough for an after-work visit?

It can be, if an appointment slot is available. Text first rather than assuming a same-day time is open.

Do Ellisville and Manchester have different prices?

No. The individual kitten's current carded price applies regardless of neighborhood.

What is the pair deposit?

The pair deposit is $1,500 and applies toward the total placement price. Confirm the final details before payment.

What if my preferred kitten is reserved?

Use the waitlist or ask about the next litter rather than sending a deposit toward a kitten that is no longer available.
