All Our Cats are tested for HCM all have Received
a negative Result
I have
been breeding cats since 1993, firstly with Siamese and Orientals, then Bengals
and now the big gentle giants, Maine Coons They have wonderful temperaments and
are good companions. I started with a neuter that I still show and fell in love
with this breed.
Photo of my cattery -
These cats are longhaired and very different from the other
breeds but they are very quiet but also a bit clumsy, not as agile as the other
breeds and tend to “bulldoze” their way through life. This however gives them a
character not found in other breeds and many people have said to me that owning
a Maine coon is like collecting chips at a casino, you can never stop at one. I
find them to be playful and very loving and easy to handle and they are very
kitten like for a long time as they do not fully mature until 4 yrs of age.
My cats all live in large pens on my property which is
acreage and they have views of paddocks and grass with ducks on the dam and free
range chickens, horses and cows to look at. I also have two cattle dogs which my
cats see through doors and around the pen area where the adults and older
kittens are housed, which means they become accustomed to dogs and my
grandchildren come and visit on a regular basis and play with the kittens so
they grow up with plenty of cuddles and fresh air and they also get runs out on
the grass. My studs have a run out around the gardens sometimes and so do the
girls when they are not in season or pregnant. I also have a vasectomised boy
that keeps the girls happy when I don’t want litters and this way I can control
my breeding programme and to keep the boys happy I run females with them that
have had their tubes tied so they don’t have babies anymore but still come into
season .This system keeps everyone happy All my kittens are born near the house
in a big area I call my nursery and they stay with their mums until they are
de-sexed and ready to go to their new homes. All my babies are vaccinated twice,
de-sexed and vet checked before they leave here at the age of 12 weeks and if
they need to fly anywhere I use a company called Dogtainers who are based at
Brisbane airport and are very good with the handling of my kittens. I am not a
big breeder and spend many hours with all my cats to keep them healthy and
strong and virile and give them all a great deal of love and attention to make
them happy Being a registered breeder means I am a member of a governing body -
QICC in Queensland. QICC has a Code of Ethics that must be adhered to and this
Code of Ethics is what guides all my breeding decisions which is why the
majority of my kittens are sold as de-sexed pets. I do not have an endless
supply of kittens as I am an ethical breeder which researches, plans and
conducts each mating for a specific reason. Sometimes I have breeding stock
available to another registered breeder but on request only
