Welcome to the Luckypaws Maine Coon Cat website!
We have been small-scale hobbyist breeders of Maine Coon cats since
1993. Showing and breeding Maine Coon cats is one of our hobbies and
not a "for-profit" business. The fee for adopting one of our kitties reflects
the outlay of breeding, medical testing, showing, cattery supplies, and
medical expenses needed to insure healthy, happy and beautiful kittens.
Our highest priorities are health, temperament, and type. We treat our
kitties with the love and respect they deserve, none of our kitties are
ever kept in cages and we are very anti de-claw.
Our cattery and all of our cats are registered with TICA (The International
Cat Association) and the CFA (Cat Fancier’s Association), and we show
our cats at TICA and CFA cat shows. We are breeder members of the
MCBFA (Maine Coon Breeder and Fancier’s Association.) All of our
kittens are raised “underfoot” and are lovingly socialized. We do not let
any of our kittens go to their new homes until they are at least 12 weeks
of age. We use the Pawped's Maine Coon database's test breeding
function to compute the inbreeding coeficients of planned breedings.
Using this program allows us to plan breedings that will produce kittens
that are not inbred and that have good "hybrid vigor".
To help prevent HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) in our kittens, our
adult cats used for breeding have their hearts checked regularly using
echocardiogram, by a board certified veterinary cardiologist at the
University of Florida. All of our cats used for breeding are also DNA gene
tested for the MyBPC3 HCM gene mutation. Our breeding adults are also
x-rayed by an experienced veterinarian to detect any signs of hip
dysplasia. We do not use any cats for breeding purposes that exhibit any
symptoms of these conditions. We guarantee all of our kittens/cats to be
free of naturally caused diseases, and cancer for five years.
Our contract requires that you promise that any kitten purchased from us
will be kept indoors only, and never declawed. You must also promise
that if for any reason you are unable to keep a kitten or cat purchased
from us that you will notify us. We will very gladly take any kitties back,
and we will either find them a good home or keep them as pets. We very
seldom sell kittens with breeding rights, and usually only trade cats with
other breeders that we know and trust in order to obtain new bloodlines.
We occasionally have adult cats that are retired from show and breeding,
that are available as loving pets for very reasonable adoption fees.
Kittens can be viewed for selection when they are 8 –10 weeks of age. A
deposit will reserve a kitten until the kitten is 12 weeks old and ready to
join it's new family. Our kittens are placed with a written sales contract
and health certificate, health guarantee, their pedigree, a Maine Coon
calendar, stainless steel nail clippers, food samples of the grain-free
foods we recommend, and some toys.
Our cats can produce brown, silver, red, and cameo (red-silver) tabbies
with and without white, and torbie (patched tabby) and tortie girls with
and w/o white, and solid black and solid reds. We live near Jacksonville,
Florida.
If you are looking for an exceptional and healthy pet Maine Coon kitten,
please call or email us.
Hope you enjoy looking at our website!
