Maine Coons were built by nature to survive the long, cold Northeastern winters, making them some of the healthiest purebred cats.
Still, as inbreeding has occurred, a few genetic diseases have reared their ugly heads.
As responsible breeders, we are doing everything we can to breed away from these unhealthy traits. Our #1 goal is to produce genetically healthy pets that will fill your life with love and joy for many years.
The known gene-related conditions that can affect purebred Maine Coons are hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), polycystic kidney disease (PKD), and pyruvate kinase deficiency or PKDef, an inherited form of anemia. HCM is the most well-known and feared condition because it so frequently leads to premature death.
DNA testing alone is not enough to lower the risk of HCM, as not all cases are linked to the known gene.
That's why, in addition to DNA testing, our cats undergo a comprehensive physical exam and echocardiogram annually.
Every Maine Street Coon kitten comes with peace of mind in the form of a 72-Hour treatment reimbursement promise, a two-year FIP replacement clause, a generous 5-year genetic health guarantee, 30 days of free Trupanion pet insurance, and lifetime breeder support.
