Our cats are fully integrated family members. The welfare and happiness of our cats is our most important goal. For us breeding is a passion and a hobby. Therefore, we do not overcrowd and overbreed our cats and give mothers much more time between litters than commercial breeders would do as we do want to enjoy our cats and see them happy and content. Hence, we don’t always have kittens available. Our kittens are born in our bedroom and raised lovingly in our house. We spend a lot of time with our cats and our kittens are exceptionally well-socialised.
If you are interested in a kitten, please do contact us with plenty of information about yourself and why you think you can provide the perfect home to one of our babies. We do not rehome to households that let their cats roam free and we are ideally looking for homes where our kitten will have some feline companionship.
When our kittens leave us, they will come with a contract, will be fully vaccinated, microchipped, registered, litter trained, neutered / spayed and de-wormed. We do not rehome unneutered kittens!
All of our cats are HCM echo scanned, hip scored and tested genetically for various breed related diseases. You will get a copy of the scan and test results with your kitten pack.
If you are unsure what to look out for when buying a pedigree kitten, a kitten buying guide can be found here.

Finally a word of caution:
When buying a pedigree kitten make sure to check what the breeder does to minimise health issues. How many litters does the breeder have per year? Is he/she overbreeding their queens like puppy farms (ideally a queen should have only one litter per year)? Second to health, see how the cats live: do they grow up in a house with human interaction or outside in a shed? This can highly influence a cat’s future behaviour towards you and other two and four-legged family members. And never buy a pedigree cat without papers! Only a cat and kitten that is registered with one of the larger cat associations such as GCCF, TICA, Fife etc. is a true pedigree cat. Don’t be fooled by the argument of some backyard breeders to save a few Euros when buying an unregistered pedigree cat. It costs a mere 10-15 Euros to get a kitten registered! Most likely, such breeders bred from cats that were bought as pets with no breeding rights or even worse, the parents aren’t pedigree Maine Coons at all!
Breeding Maine Coons requires a tremendous amount of knowledge and patience. Because we first started to show Maine Coons many years before we started breeding, we are now in the lucky position to be able to work and collaborate with very experienced breeders Nationally and Internationally. Without the friendship and trust of these fellow breeders, successfully breeding healthy Maine Coons that are true to type would be next to impossible.
So glad we got our handsome man off Claudia. She was amazing every step of the way, sending updates and photos on his development. Even now after having him home,... read more if I ever have a question, Claudia is on hand straight away offering advice. nothing is too much for her.
Our we man came to us so well socialised, bursting with personality and in immaculate condition. Claudia makes sure that she is producing strong, healthy kittens and makes sure they pass all the relevant testing requirements. No stone goes unturned when Claudia gets these wee guys ready for their new homes. These are top quality kittens!
Rocket is a prime example of the Maine Coon breed. He is a beautiful colour with gorgeous features. Most importantly he is a happy, friendly and loving wee Coon and that is all down to his start in life with Claudia.
When we picked him up we were allowed to see the rest of Claudia's Pride. All immaculate and so well cared and provided for. Very lucky cats and we are very lucky to have got one.
💛💛💛I would thoroughly recommend Friendly Ghosts if you're thinking of getting a Maine Coon, their cats are simply stunning, inside and out!💛💛💛

Could not recommend Claudia more highly. I have never had a pedigree before so was new to the experience and Claudia guided me every step of the way and was... read more so helpful answering any questions I had. She facilitated visits so that allowed us to see the set-up and meet all the cats and kept us updated along the way while we waited for our kittens. FriendlyGhost Eye of the Tiger (Tigey) and Eclipse have been the most wonderful edition to our home. Tigey is into EVERYTHING and just the most playful and wonderful, loving slob of a cat. Eclipse is much more refined and has the most unbelievable gentle nature but also has no difficulty using her voice. They are so loved and make the home a home.

After I had a terrible experience with a previous gumtree “breeder”, I just knew I would be safe with one of Claudias cats.
