Maine Coons are purrfect family members because of their gentle nature, playful personalities, adaptability, and intelligence. I have a small program with one stud cat and three to five queens. These are our family house-pets. Maine Coons are great for first time pet owners, wonderful for families with children, and are typically friendly with gentle dogs. They are usually adaptable to different lifestyles and personalities. They are nick-named, 'the cat like dog', and are known as the gentle giants of the cat world. However, cats are NOT dogs.
Our Maine Coons have Champion lines, TICA registered, sweet temperaments, and DNA Health Tested for Congenital Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), Cystinuria, Erythrocyte Pyruvate Kinase (PKD) Deficiency, Factor XII Deficiency, Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)/Spinal Muscular Dystrophy, and Blood-brain Barrier Dysfunction. All my adults are up to date on their vaccines and are negative for FELV and FIV. Our kittens go home vaccinated, socialized with our family, litter trained, healthy, and with a Two Year Health Contract.
All Maine Coons in a breeding program should be DNA tested for Congenital HCM, PKD, and SMA. Congenital HCM is a congenital heart defect, found in 3 out of every 10 untested Maine Coons. Do not let any breeder talk you into thinking that their adult cats do not need this DNA test. Congenital HCM will show up between 1 and 4 years old (on average) and is not curable. Both parents need to be tested to ensure that the kitten does not have the Congenital HCM gene. Have the breeder provide proof of DNA testing if needed. Read More Here.
RELOCATION TO COLORADO: I recently moved from IN to Colorado (the Colorado Springs area) but if you live faraway, we do have personal long distance delivery options available. With references from happy past customers.
