About Us!
One of our queens, Snow White (Originally Hilary)
Our Cattery
Sapphire's Pride started in my heart many years before we found our king and queen. Years ago I saw a photo of a huge cat and said "no way, that must be photoshopped!". And immediately went to google giant cats and found out that in fact, huge, fluffy, and super-friendly cats do exist, they are Maine Coons.
From that point on I researched for years about breeding and Maine Coons. Then I finally found Sapphire, a large blue-tabby, and our beautiful red-tabby Alina. Sapphires Pride cannot exist without my wonderful husband Alex, who supported my vision and participates in the daily operations of our cattery.
However, the search for our king and queen was a pretty intense process. From scams to concerns of unethical breeding, it took a long time and effort to find a reputable breeder, it took even more energy to import our beauties from Europe from said breeders.
Because of that experience, I wanted our cattery to be very different.
Cats are family, and all of the families who have our kittens quickly became our family too. We strive to provide ongoing support to our kitten owners; ensuring a seamless transition and a lifetime of happiness for both the feline companions and their families. We are always available to answer any questions, offer guidance, and share our passion for this remarkable breed.
We are fans of all colors of Maine Coons and it is hard for us to pick just one coat color range, so depending on the litter you can find a little bit of everything. All of our kittens have at least one champion in their bloodline!
Sweet king Sapphire
Our values
We invest heavily in genetic testing and annual health testing of our Maine Coons to make sure we are producing only healthy kittens.
We are a registered official cattery with TICA (The International Cat Association) and ascribe to their breed standards, ethics, and practices.
We focus on quality not quantity. We limit the number of litters for each of our queens to ensure proper recovery and health for our beautiful queens.
We want each kitten to go to the right family; which is why we allow home visits or meeting in public before a kitten gets reserved. (Video calls, such as Facetime are also available).
Our kittens go to their new homes when they are fully ready and not at the bare minimum age. At 3-4 months, our kittens are fully weaned from their mom's milk, fully potty trained, and healed up from their spays/neuter and are significantly more socialized (than at 8 weeks)!
