From the breeder:

We are a family that is in love with Maine Coon Cats. We do everything to provide joy of life and health to our pets. Our pets move freely throughout our home, have a healthy diet and best care. Our medical education helps us in working with kittens and adult cats. All parents of our kittens have genetic tests. Kittens will have a certificate with their pedigree. The most successful event has been the appearance, in our cattery, of Nuage, male of our JoieDeVivre. A cat with a pronounced lion’s face. There were already litters of kittens from him and all his children inherited from him their father’s lion’s face. So, now we are unique, we produce small lion cubs. A very big bonus that kittens get by inheriting a wide nose at birth is wide tear ducts. And that means healthier eyes.

  • Have the socialized the kitten among other kittens?
  • Do they belong to a Connecticut Maine Coon Cat breed club? You can ask for references from the club.

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
