Maine Coons
I will be away from Sept 1-25, 2024. This means no kitty pick ups. You will still be able to send me messages through Facebook to reserve kittens, but physical pick-ups will not happen until September 29 and following days. We will also not be doing visits during this time since we will be short on help and kitten care is most important thing to take care of.
If you want to make an appointment to visit before I leave, please plan for a weekday between 1:30pm -5pm. There are several kittens here now. Most are usually already reserved before they arrive to me, but if they are still available, we can make an appointment for a visit. Please remember 2 ADULTS only. Leave me a TEXT message so we can make arrangements. 540-429-0311
I advise anyone interested in kittens to plan ahead. Kittens are added often, so always check back. At this time, since I will be away, I will not be adding any more until mid-October.
If you have questions or are interested in a kitten, please
#1) Do a friend request through Facebook FIRST. Mina.ray.12 or do it through the website. Button is upper right corner of the page. ^ Yep, up there.
#2) Send me a TEXT message 540-429-0311 and INCLUDE your Facebook name so I can accept and please include the kittens you are interested in. Text me with your information. Text me with your information. Yes, I am repeating this because most times, people forget this part.
I wanted to add a little note about people looking for super large MALE Maine Coons. Yes, they get big, but remember that too much weight increases the chance of heart and hip problems. Possibly a shorter life span as well. Also, I really want to stress that Males are not necessarily kinder and more affectionate than females. I do not know who provides this inaccurate information. If you were to visit my own cats, you would find affectionate males AND females. My females and the females that are imported are super sweet. There are often females that will exceed the size of full-grown males. So, please stop reading the opinions and thoughts of others. You are welcome to come and visit all of the kindness and affection of the kitties here in Mineral. Once again, 2 ADULTS only please.
The kittens on the website are arriving from overseas. When I started my business in 2019, I purchased ALL of my breeding cats from my wonderful breeders. Since I do not overbreed my cats, I cannot keep up with demand for kittens. I continue to work with the breeders to bring their beautiful kittens here. My own kittens usually do not make it to my website. They are usually sold before they are born. Or they are sold when people are visiting. I just lost a Mommy kitty (Ydira). I also lost Valencia since writing this. It has been very hard for me to handle this loss. She was my precious girl. I am now reconsidering breeding myself. As of this date, Aug 8, 2023, Valencia, Harmony, Ulianna and Ydira had kittens a few days ago. I will not be breeding them again. We now have 15 new kittens that will be available. I will not continue breeding after they are sold. I will continue to bring kittens from overseas.
UPDATE: As of March 19, 2024, we have decided to continue with breeding. This has been a hard decision, but we will be taking more extreme measures to ensure the safety of the Momma cats and the kittens. We will not be taking deposits for future litters because we don't know how many kittens will survive and be available. We will post Mommas expected due dates and then will post updates on the new litters. Once they are 4 weeks - 6 weeks old, we will allow deposits to take place. We simply want to be sure all kittens are ok before trying to take deposits.
Please understand that the kittens on the site will arrive from overseas on the APPROXIMATE DATE LISTED under their name and photo. They are overseas until those dates. If you are interested in visiting kitties that are already here, please check the list below to see which ones are here. Please TEXT me at 540-429-0311 to make an appointment. I do not answer the phone and don't listen to voicemails often. Too many scam and solicitor calls. I usually do visits on weekdays between 1:30pm to 4:30 pm. ADULTS ONLY PLEASE.

PLEASE READ THIS. If you don't read anything else, please read this. LOL. The dates listed are the APPROXIMATE Arrival Date. These kittens WILL NOT BE HERE until the dates you see under their names and photos. Most kittens are usually reserved BEFORE they arrive. I get too many phone calls asking to see kittens that are NOT here yet. If you see a kitten you like, please TEXT me and let me know which ones you are interested in. Do NOT do a deposit until we see if kitten is still available. I try to keep the website updated, but sometimes I fall behind. If you reserve a kitten, I will be in touch with you to give a more accurate arrival date. Once I have a confirmed date, I will call you to make pick up or delivery arrangements. Pick up will be in Mineral, Va 23117. We also have deliveries at an additional cost determined by the destination.
Please understand that I only take 2-3 ADULTS for visits. I am a legitimate breeder. You can find my Google reviews and BBB review. You may also check out my FaceBook page. Button is on upper right corner of the page. I hope I can help you to find your furry new friend.
I have a lot of information on the Information Page. It lists cat food, litter, things to look out for, and lots of other worthy things to read about. Please read it if you are placing a deposit to purchase a kitten.
What should I do once kitten comes home?
It is seriously best to give the kitten some peace and quiet for a couple of days. Keep kids calm and pets away for a while. They should be quarantined until their vet visit. Let them get used to you coming in and petting them and talking to them. If the kitten is overwhelmed and scared, things will not go well. It's very likely a stressed kitten will start sneezing or getting an upper respiratory infection or die from Exhaustion. They don't know when to stop. Let their immune systems build up. Do not let them walk on grass outdoors for some time. They can get bacteria, virus and worms, especially from dog poo. Just be calm and easy with them. It's a new home for them and they need to adjust slowly.
There are many kittens here now and ready for a visit. Please call to schedule an appointment. Serious buyers only please. This is my home and our time to care for kitties is valuable. I hope you understand.
Available to visit on Aug 30 and 31 are:
Patron, Klaraline, Princeton, Arthur, Armando, Archibald, Rif, and Conan
