We fell in love with the Maine Coon breed when we got our first cat Owen many years ago, and after much research, we have decided to take on this new challenge with our small-scale, in-home cattery located in Calgary, Alberta. Married couple Pierre and Christal are animal lovers with experience in raising cats, dogs, and chickens, and they actively participate in local wildlife rescue. Focusing on family and positive energy, our little cattery is dedicated to raising healthy, well-socialized purebred Maine Coons, specifically quality Maine Coons that make wonderful companions.
Our cats are part of our family and roam freely in our home. The Maine Coon kittens will be supervised appropriately for their safety and will be exposed to many normal aspects of household life, such as children, dogs, and other cats. They will hear doorbells, vacuum cleaners, radios, and toasters, and will learn to climb stairs and use litter boxes. Outside the windows, they observe cars, lawn mowers, squirrels, and wild hares, while plenty of songbirds and magpies keep them entertained.
Currently, we have a big fluffy orange Maine Coon named Leopold, who is an absolute teddy bear! Leo isn’t part of our breeding program, but you’ll see him often in our photos—he’s involved in everything we do (in fact, as I build this website, Leopold is sitting on my lap, purring loudly and rubbing his face on me). Leopold and our Queen Luna get along well and are frequently seen cuddling and grooming each other. In the summer, we spend time in the backyard and take our pets camping in our RV. They are quickly adapting to the adventure lifestyle with backpacks and leash walks; Maine Coons generally tolerate leash and harness training well, and these two are becoming seasoned explorers. Whether we’re on the sofa, in the backyard, or traveling, they are always close by and are very much part of our family, showcasing the best of Calgary Maine Coons.
