Maine Coon Cat Breeder - Queensland

Home based breeder of Maine Coons, our kittens are raised in a family home with other cats, dogs and young adults. Our cats are not housed in out of the way or in outside enclosures. Kittens are born and live in our bedroom for approx 3 weeks and are then raised within our living areas, with all the noise and interaction you would expect in a large family. This allows us to nurture healthy, secure, outgoing, and affectionate kittens with very impressive temperaments.

Breeding all colours except white, we are currently a closed cattery, this is to protect our adults and kittens from highly contagious and deadly viruses. Buyers will be provided with lots of photographs, videos and explanation of a kitten's temperament so they can easily make a decision on a kitten. Recommended health testing is done on all adults.

Kittens are supplied with pedigree papers, are microchipped, desexed, vaccinated, litter trained, flea treated and wormed and come with a kitten pack.

Initial contact preferred via email.

We have a questionnaire for interested buyers so we know more about the homes they may be going to and what they as buyers would like in a kitten. We do not offer kittens until they are approximately 5 weeks old when temperaments are known. Prior to a buyer choosing a kitten, if I feel a kitten's temperament in a particular litter will not suit them (eg. too timid, but this is uncommon) I will inform the potential buyer of the kitten's temperament and my recommendation to either consider a different one from the litter or a future litter.
