Responsible Breeding

The Maine Coon is the oldest natural living cat breed in North America. This means that this beautiful breed originated without (deliberate) interference from humans. As a reputable breeder, my goal is to maintain the natural standard of this breed.

All of our Maine Coons are 100% Pure, Pedigreed and chosen delicately with a FIVE generation (minimum) pedigree evaluation. They are genetically tested with Optimal Selection or CatScan, clearing them of over 50 genetic health predispositions and assuring they have a healthy Heterozygosity percentage. Our cattery is Feline Leukemia (FELV & FIV) and Tritrichomonas Foetus negative as we strive to breed healthy, powerful Maine Coons with a sweet and balanced character.

Healthy genes are a prerequisite for strong, healthy Maine Coons, but care and socialization are also important. We give our kittens, with dedication and joy, the loving environment that is needed to let their characters blossom in our warm, homely atmosphere as part of our family.

Health

The Maine Coon develops slowly and is not fully grown and developed until around 4 years old. All of our kittens are guaranteed to be free from congenital birth defects for a period of 1 years from date of birth and we provide an opportunity for one month of free pet medical insurance via Trupanion. Before adoption, all our kittens are examined by our veterinarian for a general health exam and will have been administered all deworming medications needed as well as FVRCP vaccinations required for his/her age. Your Maine Coon will also be micro-chipped and health records will be provided.

 

Pure-Fection's Genetics Results

  • I am a member in good standing of The International Cat Association, Inc. (TICA) and have a TICA-registered cattery.
  • I will breed discriminately, and only if I can find appropriate homes for my kittens.

Any kitten or cat sold as a pet/companion will be sold under the following conditions:

  1. I will guarantee that the kitten/cat is in good health at the time of sale.
  2.  I will urge the purchaser to have the kitten/cat examined by the purchaser's own veterinarian within a few days of purchase to confirm its good health.
  3. I will explain to the purchaser the dangers of an outdoor environment.
  4. I will provide a written sales agreement that describes all the terms of the sale. I will abide by my own sales agreement.

If this should not be possible, I will require that the kitten be spayed or neutered no later than 12 months of age and not be allowed to produce any offspring. I will provide the TICA registration certificate and/or pedigree for the kitten/cat only after I have received written evidence from a licensed veterinarian that the kitten/cat has been altered.
