It’s a small family-size Maine Coon Cattery, situated at the isle of La Réunion, at Saint-Leu, known worldwide by surfers for its spot.

 Although I am only starting in the selection of the breed, I have done a lot of research on the lines of my future breeding cats. My work is first of all to breed kitten with perfect health, well typed and with the peaceful character worthy of the name of the “gentle giant”.

 For this all my cats are regularly tested FIV, FeLV, HCM (DNA and echo), PKD, SMA and they all have their blood group card. 

Given the heat, my cats live in total liberty in an enclosure outside with garden and shadow to hide from the sun. To avoid all risks of unwanted covering but also in case of bad weather or cyclonal season, we have build a small house, entirely tiled, fitted out and well-ventilated, with 3 separations inside (to be able to separate male from female when in heat). The third part is a nursery that will welcome the future mommies and their babies. Every enclosure is separated through a wire fencing that allows the cats to still see and smell one another.

In case of illness or obligation for quarantine (which is rare in our part of the world!), the cat will be immediately isolated thanks to a “mobile” quarantine zone (that I do not have actually because I am still thinking for a fast and easy way to put it in place near a water station). This quarantine zone will also serve for the new arrivals before they will get in to contact with the others.

 Although my loves live in a park, we spend a lot of time with them and it is not rare that they will join me in the house at night for sleep, because there is nothing more pleasant than to get to sleep and wake up with my “lions”.

Furthermore I pay much attention to my kitten to be very present, manipulating them from their birth on (I had the chance until this day that my mommies didn’t bother and let it happen). I leave music in the house (and they also get used to the external noises) and at their disposition many toys, scratching posts and grass. I get them used to the litter box; they are feed with Mastery dry food but get also a can of tuna and milk products. Well, many little gourmet joys as for the adults. And it’s of course impossible for me to not take them into the house with me, look at them playing and play with them myself or cuddle them a lot.

 All our cats are vaccinated starting from their 2 months and are ready to leave at 3 months, identified by microchip, with a LOOF pedigree, dewormed and with a sales contract. We assure a follow through of all our kitten. Of course they are clean and perfectly socialised and have the perfect Maine Coon character: keen, playful, very dynamic, also very smart, real little devils, charming and who love to talk, not able to shake them off, cuddling and affectionate. Intelligent they will know to tell you what they want. Well, to say it shortly: a real “dog-cat”.
