Shelby
Foundation Dam
Shelby is one of the two sisters who started our program. She has a loving, even temperament with an independent streak. She enjoys affection and has that confident, distinctly feline personality we love.
Eleanor
Foundation Dam
Eleanor started our program alongside her sister, Shelby. She is incredibly loving and even-tempered, with a gentle, easygoing nature. She is especially tolerant of the baby in our home and takes the activity of family life in stride.
Purelli
Future Dam
Purelli is the newest addition to our program. Playful, curious, and brave, she is growing into a delightful personality, and we look forward to watching her continue to develop.
The health of our Maine Coons and their kittens is a priority in our breeding program. Our breeding cats are screened with Wisdom Panel Complete for Cats, a comprehensive DNA test that evaluates genetic health risks and other inherited traits. Each parent also receives routine veterinary examinations and health checks to ensure they are healthy and in appropriate condition for breeding.When we use an outside sire, he is carefully selected from another breeding program based on health, genetics, temperament, pedigree, and compatibility with our queen. Although these sires are not owned by Fast and Furriest Cats, we require appropriate health and genetic screening before choosing them for our breeding program.Wisdom Panel screening tests for 45+ genetic health conditions and includes 40+ trait tests, along with blood type and genetic diversity information. For Maine Coons, this includes screening for important inherited conditions such as Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).Genetic screening helps us make informed breeding decisions and reduce the risk of passing known inherited disorders to future generations. Results also provide information about genetic diversity, which can be useful when thoughtfully pairing breeding cats.While DNA screening is an important part of responsible breeding, no genetic test can guarantee that a cat will never develop a health condition. Wisdom Panel evaluates the specific genetic variants included in its test and is one part of our overall approach to raising healthy, well-cared-for Maine Coons.
Frequently Asked QuestionsWhere does your cattery name come from?
Since my husband and I met, we’ve given all of our animals car-themed names—from our dogs and cats to even our tortoise! When it came time to name our cattery, it only made sense to keep the tradition going.How much are your kittens?
Our Maine Coon kittens are $2,000 as pets for standard paw and $2,500 for polydactyl. Breeding rights may be available to approved homes for select kittens for an additional fee.What is included with my kitten?
Kittens go home age-appropriately vaccinated and dewormed, with veterinary health checks and TICA registration paperwork. We’ll also provide information to help make the transition into their new home as smooth as possible.Are your breeding cats health screened?
Yes. Our breeding cats receive veterinary health evaluations and genetic health screening. Health and responsible breeding are an important part of our program.When can kittens go to their new homes?
Our kittens remain with their mother and littermates until they are developmentally ready to leave. Exact timing can vary by kitten, and we will provide each family with their kitten’s anticipated go-home date.How do I reserve a kitten?
The first step is completing our kitten application. Once approved and you’ve selected an available kitten, a deposit is required to reserve that kitten. The remaining balance is due before or at pickup.Are deposits refundable?
Deposits are non-refundable because once a kitten is reserved, we stop offering that kitten to other families. All deposit and purchase terms are provided in writing before payment.Can I meet the kittens before choosing one?
Yes, approved families may arrange a time to meet available kittens. For the health, safety, and privacy of our animals and family, visits are by appointment only.Do you ship kittens?
We prefer families to pick up their kitten in person. If you are coming from outside our area, contact us before applying so we can discuss available options.What happens if I can no longer keep my cat?
We never want one of our cats to end up without a safe home. If circumstances change and you can no longer care for your cat, please contact us so we can discuss the best next steps.
