At our home-based cattery in Chelsea, Alabama, our family's deep love for Maine Coons shines through in every kitten we raise. We honor the breed’s rich American heritage and focus on nurturing kittens of truly exceptional quality—healthy, affectionate, outgoing companions who instantly bring joy to their new homes. Each decision we make is guided by our belief that these magnificent cats deserve only the best care, respect, and forever homes. When you choose us, you gain more than a beautiful cat—you gain a friend you can trust, guidance for every stage, and the reassurance that you’ve chosen a breeder who truly cares about ethical practices and your family’s heartfelt happiness. It's no wonder that over a third of our families come back to us for a second Maine Coon kitten in the first few years!
Our breeding philosophy is centered on a proactive, science-backed approach to health. We believe that true quality begins with a foundation of genetic soundness and preventative care, providing you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your companion has the best possible start in life.
To ensure the vitality of our kittens, we conduct comprehensive health screenings on all our breeding cats. This includes DNA testing for all known genetic conditions relevant to the Maine Coon breed. Furthermore, we perform annual echocardiograms on our parent cats, administered by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist, to screen for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). This rigorous, non-negotiable protocol allows us to breed with confidence and offer you a healthy, resilient Maine Coon kitten.
From the moment they are born, our kittens are raised in a clean, well-appointed home environment and receive the highest standard of veterinary care. Each kitten is closely monitored to ensure they meet developmental milestones. Our protocols include a professionally-administered vaccination series, deworming, and a thorough health examination by our trusted veterinarian before they join your family. This meticulous attention to detail during their crucial first few months ensures a smooth and healthy transition into their new home.
As dedicated preservation breeders, we are stewards of the authentic American Maine Coon. Our TICA-registered cattery honors the breed's rugged heritage by prioritizing the health, balanced features, and functional build that define these magnificent cats. We stand firmly against fleeting trends that compromise the breed's integrity. Instead, our ethical breeding program is focused on producing cats with the classic, expressive look and robust spirit of their New England ancestors. As a result of our relentless focus on conformation to the breed standard, our cats are consistently awarded high praise in TICA show halls and earn the highest level of championship titles. By choosing Maine Street Coons, you are not only acquiring a superior companion but also supporting the preservation of a true American legacy.
