Maverick at 2.5 years old, my stud.
Maine Coons are a purrfect family member because of their gentle nature, playful personalities, adaptability to many different environments, and intelligence. My kittens are for pet homes only. My program specializes in Black Smokes (most of my kittens are Black Smoke). But I do have other colors too, and those colors are listed on the bottom of the KITTENS page.
Maine Coons are great for first time pet owners, wonderful for families with children, and are friendly with gentle dogs. They are usually adaptable to different lifestyles and personalities too. They are intelligent, and so training them to behave and setting boundaries needs done during kitten-hood. Contrary to popular belief, cats are definitely trainable! You can teach them the same useful commands as a dog, as well as tricks. All you need is some tasty treats and patience. You can start easy with training your cat to come when you call their name. They are nick-named, 'the cat like dog', and they are known as the gentle giants of the cat world.
My daughter CJ also raises Maine Coons, and here's the link to her website: LINK to MOUNTAIN HIGH MAINE COONS.
All of my Maine Coons are family. They sleep in our bed, lounge in the living room, and that includes my stud cat Maverick. I am very fortunate that he does not spray and he's a happy house-pet vs being outside in a stud-building. I also make sure that he has the proper number of females that a stud cat requires to stay content and loving. Reputable breeders also put a lot of time and money into their programs. Their prices will reflect this dedication and investment, and if the price is too good to be true, it probably is...
A GREAT WAY TO INTERACT WITH ME AND PAST CLIENTS IS TO LIKE AND FOLLOW ME ON FACEBOOK: RIGGS MAINE COON CATTERY. I also share links to Instagram accounts that past clients have created for their Maine Coon from me there too.
My Maine Coons are 100% European Lines, all imported from overseas. They have big heads, large muzzles, and long bodies. My Maine Coons are TICA registered and kittens are sent home with TICA pet-registration papers. My cattery is also registered with TICA (Riggs Maine Coon). All my adults have sweet temperaments, and are 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 cats are up to date on their vaccines and are negative for FELV and FIV. All my kittens are sent home with a Kitten Care Package, first vaccines by my veterinarian and an exam, 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. This DNA test is needed regardless of whether their adult had the ECHO or not. An ECHO can only let you know if there is a current heart issue, an ECHO will not reveal if they carry the gene for HCM and if they will develop it later or pass it down to kittens. Congenital HCM will show up between 1 and 4 years old (on average) and it 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. My tests are done through the Wisdom panel and TICA affiliated.
LOCATION: We are located in the Colorado Springs area, Colorado. I RECENTLY MOVED TO COLORADO TO BE NEAR MY ADULT CHILDREN, but if you live faraway, I do have personal long distance delivery options available. Over 50% of my clients use the flight nanny service, so I have a lot of references for how wonderful this service is. Your kitten will be in the constant care of the flight nanny during the journey and they communicate with us throughout.
Please review my website before you contact me, thank you.
EXCUSE ANY GRAMMAR OR SPELLING ERRORS, I TEND TO MISS MY OWN ERRORS.
