About Us
Registered Pedigree Breeder
In Australia, Breeder Registration with a pedigree association is essential to breed and sell pedigree puppies and kittens. We are registered breeders with the Western Australia Feline Association (WAFA).
When buying from a registered pedigree breeder you have confidence knowing you will receive a well socialised pet that is true to breed standard, has been fed high quality food, kept healthy, and raised in a safe and ethical way.
Purebred in not the same as Pedigree. Kittens with a Pedigree can show a proven family tree of their ancestors whereas purebred kittens do not have any legitimate proof of parentage or if they are even a certain breed.
Home Raised
Our adults and babies are raised in a loving home environment. We do not raise our kittens in outside or out-of-the-way enclosures. This allows us to nurture healthy, secure, outgoing, and affectionate kittens with very impressive temperaments.
They spend their first 3 – 4 weeks living in our bedroom and are then raised with humans, cats and dogs within our living areas and have free access to safe outside areas where they can see birds, wallabies, bandicoots, sometimes deer and other creatures within our property.
The intelligence, affection, charm, independence, beauty and size make Maine Coons magnificent felines and truly one of a kind.
A bit about our program
We are located in Western Australia, and our kittens are raised within our family home.
Health & type are the MOST important factors in our breeding program.
We have three main goals:
1. Enrich & preserve the Maine Coon breed
2. Produce healthy, well socialised companion cats & kittens
3. Eradicate the old-school toxic mindset of being ‘in competition’ with other preservation breeders.
We are all in this for the same goals, there aren’t many of us who are striving to be completely ethical,
so we MUST encourage and lift each other up.
Demand better for our companion animals
This quote is something that’s stuck with me. It applies to any well bred animal. There certainly is a place for rescue. But we must begin to support preservation breeders more. If we eliminate ALL breeders, this would fix the shelter problem. But where would any companion animal come from? They simply wouldn’t exist.
So this journey has been quite an emotional roller-coaster. We’ve had to earn our place (and still have a way to go). We respect those breeders who have been breeding and showing for years, decades even. I hope to learn as much as I can from those who are generous enough to share their time and knowledge.
We have several cats now who have budding show careers. I have a few people on my side helping me along. We’re not in it for the ribbons, we’d just like some experience and instruction on breed standard & type. Additionally, we hope it helps to build some trust and respect from others to know that we are putting health and type first.
Kuro, our companion boy, was the first to be shown around the end of 2019, and this was for experience only. Companions are judged on temperament, grooming, coat colour. It’s a bit of fun and really helped us ‘ease’ into the process.
Transparency and honesty is the BIGGEST thing for us. We are strong believers that we’ve all made mistakes, but our true character is shown with how we pick ourselves back up and learn from those mistakes. Actions are always louder than words.
