Do you have a health guarantee on the kittens?

Do you do genetic testing on your breeding cats?

Yes, we do genetic testing on all of our breeding cats. The cats are tested for HCM and SMA. They must test negative/negative or negative/positive for PKdef before they can be used in our breeding program. 

(A negative/positive for PKdef means that they are just a carrier and won’t be affected. It is fine and acceptable to breed a PKdef negative/positive cat with a PKdef negative/negative cat. The offspring will not be affected.)

Do you sell breeding rights?

Breeding rights are strictly sold to established breeders. We work closely with other breeders in this matter. Selling breeding rights is done at our discretion.

 Do Maine Coons get along with other animals/pets?

YES!! Yes they do!  We raise our kittens and cats together with our chocolate lab, Gracie and our DSH cat, S’More. Most of our families have other pets and they tell us all the time how well they fit right in with their current fur family members.

 Do Maine Coon cats do well with children?

YES! They do very well with children. We educate families on introducing their kitten to all family members.

 Do Maine Coons shed?

Yes, they do. Kittens shed very little. Adult cats shed. We brush our cats. They actually like to be brushed and combed. We will brush them when they sit on our laps. For most, it’s soothing and relaxing for them. It’s a great bonding time for you and your cat too!

What is the temperament of Maine Coon cats?

Maine Coon cats have an amazing temperament. Each has their own personality too. We spend a lot of time socializing with our cats and kittens. They love to be with us all the time. They want to be in the same room or on our laps. Maine Coons are very intelligent, loveable and loyal to their families.

When do I get the registration papers for my pet kitten?

Registration papers are sent when we have confirmation that your kitten has been spay or neutered by your Vet. Your kitten must be spay or neutered by age six (6) months.
