Why use Mighty Kitty?

Hello, we are Anna and Damian, welcome to Mighty Kitty Maine Coons!

We are small, specialist breeder of pedigree Maine Coons and are based in Buxton, Derbyshire. Our Maine Coon kittens are raised lovingly in our home with our family and many other pets and not in a cattery so they are extremely well socialised.

We have a four star license from the council (the highest star rating you can achieve for a newly licensed business). This means we have passed the higher welfare standards required by the council. Being licensed does not mean we are a kitten farm! It means we have:

• Shown we have excellent facilities for our cats and kittens through inspection
• Provided higher standards in housing and enrichment for our cats and kittens
• Have dedicated and detailed records for cats and kittens right from when they have entered the cattery upto now, including health records for each individual Maine Coon cat and kitten
• Have extensive vet records and records of any prescribed medicines given
• Participated in health surveys such as DNA testing and Echocardiagram testing
• Have shown commitment to the Maine Coon breed through evidence of CPD and training
• Have detailed socialisation and enrichment programs in place for our cats and kittens
• Provided owners with extensive information on what to expect and how to care for their kitten (an 80 page manual) along with other documentation

As part of our council licensing (and as part of the Five Freedoms) we have produced enrichment, welfare and socialisation routines for all of our Maine Coon cats and kittens, we also use the Early Neurological Stimulation system to improve our Maine Coon kittens resistance to stress and disease. Our twelve week socialisation program includes habituation to multiple household (and non household noises such as fireworks etc), bathing and grooming procedures including mouth play to get them used to teeth cleaning, introducing various textured surfaces to walk on, different types of cat litter, different animals in the household, getting them used to carriers and short travel journeys, harness training (if requested by new owners), different types of litter boxes, puzzles feeders and scratching posts.

We are also proud members of the GCCF Responsible Breeders scheme and have undergone an inspection this year. We are pleased to say that we passed with no advisories , we are only the 2nd Maine Coon breeder in the UK to have been inspected under the new system.

Our Maine Coon kittens come from fantastic European, Russian and British Lines. We have been careful to choose genetically healthy parents who also display popular main coon characteristics including well defined muzzles, large ear size and good size lynx tips amongst other Maine Coon characteristics.

Our aim is to breed Maine Coons who are healthy, loving and beautiful examples of the breed, and in case you were wondering - they are all named after characters in some of ours and our children's favourite animated films by Studio Ghibli!

Thank you so much for visiting our site, take a look at some of our wonderfully Mighty Maine Coons and please do get in touch if you have any questions!

Why Choose A Mighty Kitty Maine Coon?

Here at Mighty Kitty we have spent a considerable amount of time learning about cat physiology, behaviours, appropriate care and monitoring, enrichment regimes and animal welfare legislation.

We are part of the Breeder Scheme with the GCCF, and have applied to be a Centre of Excellence with TICA. We have also achieved a 4 star licence on our first application (the highest a new breeder can achieve).
