We pride ourselves on raising kittens that are extremely well socialised and super affectionate. Our kittens are surrounded by household noises, children of all ages, other cats and even a dog! They are handled daily from birth and given lots of kisses and cuddles.

All of our Maine Coons are very much our loved family members. We don't believe in confinement and although males and females need to be separated when females are in heat, they all live together and are allowed to roam the entire home and purpose built outdoor areas. The males do wear stud pants during indoor gatherings!

As well as being allowed to roam the house, our Maine Coons also enjoy access to a 20ft, purpose-built housing, along with two 12ft catios, which can be accessed from the house. The housing and catios offer safe spaces with a variety of large branches, shelving at different heights, tunnels, seating, hideaways, beds, cat trees and toys. The catios have roofs incase it rains but still allow the cats to chatter to the birds and breath in the fresh air. We truly believe that, as Maine Coons are predominantly indoor cats, the catios offer the best of both worlds and give them a better quality of life.

While we feel it's vitally important for our kittens to socialise with the adults, they do not have access to the housing or catios, until they've had their final vaccines. Instead, our kittens are kept in our bedroom from birth to 4 weeks of age. This stage is critical and we want to keep a close eye on babies and Mum. From age 4-8 weeks, the kittens make use of the kitten pen located in our sitting room, and this is where they learn to litter train, wean, play, climb and socialise with the other cats and Olive our cocker spaniel, and generally learn to be a cat! From age 8 weeks until it's time to go to their new homes, the kittens are ready to start exploring the rest of the house and also have free reign (within safe parameters), although you can usually find them resting on a cat tree or a windowsill.

All of our adult cats and weaned kittens eat a high quality diet of Akela 90:10 grain-free complete dry kibble, Akela 70:30 grain-free complete wet tins and occasionally, whole prey in the form of day old chicks!

All of our breeding males and females are extensively health tested before they can be used for mating. We test for over 45 genetic health conditions, including HCM, SMA, PRA and PK-Def, which are the more common conditions found in Maine Coons. We also test for blood type, breed data and physical traits. All of our cats including adults and kittens, are fully vaccinated, microchipped and registered with TICA. We are also a FIV/FeLV free household.
