We are Amanda and Russ and we've been breeding Maine Coons on a small scale since 2006. We're based in Kettering, Northamptonshire and we have two queens for breeding, Sweet Pea and Chi, who you can see elsewhere on this site.
Our interest in Maine Coons started many years ago when we bought a book about cats and read about this particular breed. We said then that if we found ourselves in a position to be able to give a cat the care and attention it deserved, that's what we would have. In 2003 that dream came true. Through a number of coincidences we were put in touch with Jean and Ron Brown at Lunaris and they were good enough to sell us our first Maine, a handsome silver red shaded male neuter, Lunaris Doodle Dandy, brother to FIFe European Champion Lunaris Peg of my Heart. Dude as he became affectionately known was soon followed by Lunaris Sonny's Boy (now FIFe Grand International Premier) and Lunaris Tessa Rose who became our first queen.
Tess had her first litter in April 2006 and from that litter we kept Lunaris Misty Mountain (now FIFe Champion), also known as Sweetpea, as a breeding queen. At the end of January 2007 Tess had another litter from which we have kept Mistymaine Sweet Dreams (Dino), now FIFe Premier. Tess has now been neutered and is a FIFe International Premier. Misty Mountain has produced her first litter just before Christmas 2008. She only had one kitten, Jack, but he was well worth the wait as you can see below.
Joining Sweetpea as our other queen is Lunaris Chiquitita or Chi as she's known. A gorgeous black mackerel tabby with white with the most amazing eyes, again from Ron and Jean.
You can see more of them both in the our cats section.
Sadly in July 2006 well before his time Dude was suddenly taken from us. He will be forever in our memory. Here he is on the left with Sonny. You can see more pictures of Dude at Dude and see for yourselves what a stunning cat he was.
We are full members of the Maine Coon Guild and associate members of the Viking Cat Club.

To avoid disappointment, please remember that we are not a pet shop and any kittens for sale are our kittens and we reserve the right not to sell. If you are interested in a kitten, we want you to come and see them as regularly as you can and to interact with them as much as possible. We want to make sure that you are happy with the kitten and the kitten is happy with you. Kittens do not leave us until they are at least 13 weeks old, at which time they will have been subject to at least two veterinary examinations and will be fully innoculated and microchipped. We also reserve the right to have any kitten neutered or spayed prior to sale. All kittens are sold as pets and not for breeding purposes. This will be subject to written contract.
