About Us
Why Choose Maine Coon Australia?
We are small, specialist breeder of pedigree Maine Coons and are based in 5 different states. 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 TICA 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 Australia to have been inspected under the new system.

Our Mission
Our aim is to producing healthy and with a lovely temperament Maine Coons kittens. Maine Coon cats are a wonderful breed. They are big-boned creatures with affectionate temperaments. Along with being highly intelligent, Maine Coon cats are often compared with dogs due to their playful and loving nature.
Maine Coon cats are a truly wonderful and distinctive breed. They are known for their large size, strong bone structure, and impressive coats, which give them a majestic appearance. Despite their size, they are gentle and friendly by nature, making them excellent family pets. Their adaptability allows them to thrive in both active households and calmer environments.
Maine Coons are affectionate, intelligent, and highly social cats. They enjoy being around people and often form strong bonds with their families. Their playful and curious nature, combined with their loyalty, has led many people to compare them to dogs. Maine Coons love interactive play, follow their owners from room to room, and are known for their loving, gentle personalities.
At Maine coon Cattery Australia, the health of our cats is always our top priority. Every breeding cat undergoes comprehensive DNA testing, cardiac ultrasound screening for HCM, and hip‑joint X‑rays.
