About Us
Learn about our passion for Maine Coons and our commitment to ethical breeding practices.
Our Story
Mindful Maine Coon Cattery was founded out of a deep love and appreciation for the Maine Coon breed. What started as a passion for these gentle giants has grown into a dedicated breeding program focused on health, temperament, and preserving the true characteristics of this magnificent breed.
We believe that Maine Coons are more than just pets—they're family members who bring joy, companionship, and love into our lives. Every kitten we raise is treated with the same care and affection we give to our own cats.
Our mission is to produce healthy, well-socialized Maine Coon kittens that will thrive in their forever homes and bring years of happiness to their families.
Our Core Values
The principles that guide everything we do
Love & Care
Every cat and kitten receives individual attention, love, and the highest quality care in our home environment.
Health First
Comprehensive health testing by BasePaws, proper nutrition, and regular veterinary care ensure our cats are healthy and thriving.
Excellence
We adhere to TICA and CFA standards, breeding for proper conformation, temperament, and breed characteristics.
Lifetime Support
Our relationship doesn't end at adoption. We're here to support you and your kitten for their entire life.
Our Breeding Philosophy
Quality over quantity, always
Comprehensive Health Testing
All of our breeding cats undergo extensive genetic and health testing by BasePaws before entering our program. We test for HCM (heart disease), PKD (kidney disease), and SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) to ensure we're producing the healthiest kittens possible.
Early Socialization
Our kittens are raised underfoot in our home, surrounded by the sights, sounds, and activities of daily life. They're handled daily from birth, ensuring they grow into confident, well-adjusted cats who love people and adapt easily to new homes.
Ethical Practices
We never overbreed our queens. Each female has adequate time to rest between litters, and we limit the number of litters per year. Our cats are family members first, breeding cats second. When a queen retires, she finds a loving pet home where she can enjoy her golden years.
Quality Focus
We maintain a small breeding program to ensure every cat receives individual attention and optimal care. This allows us to focus on quality—producing healthy, well-tempered kittens that truly represent the best of the Maine Coon breed.
Certifications & Affiliations
We are proud members of TICA (The International Cat Association) and CFA (Cat Fanciers' Association), following their codes of ethics and breeding standards.
TICA Outstanding Cattery Certified
Mindful Maine Coon Cattery is proud to hold the Outstanding Cattery Certificate from The International Cat Association (TICA), awarded following a veterinary inspection by a licensed DVM. Our cattery received an Excellent rating under the TICA Outstanding Cattery Program, reflecting our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of care, cleanliness, and environment for our cats and kittens.
