Maine Coon Cat Breeder - WA

DirtyPaws is a small cattery in Western Australia. We fell in love with the Maine Coon in 2004 and purchased our first, a de-sexed male and female in 2005. Shortly after this we bought our second female. As the saying goes one Maine Coon is never enough!

The health and temperament of our cats is very important to us. Because of this we test our breeding cats for Hypartropic Cardio Myopathy(HCM)- both Eccocardiogram and for Genetic predisposition; Hip Displasia(HD) and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD).

Our kittens are raised in our home and are a part of our and our cat family until they leave at about 10 to 12 weeks of age.

When they leave they are vet checked, vaccinated, de-sexed, microchipped and registered with CATS our governing body in Western Australia.

We feed our cats and kittens on a mixture of raw, cooked food and Royal Canin.
