About Us

Our Commitment to Quality
At Coonfections Maine Coons, we’re devoted to raising healthy, happy, and well-socialized kittens with affectionate, family-friendly temperaments. Our cats are cherished family members first, and each one holds a special place in our hearts and home.
As a TICA-registered cattery, we breed from high-quality European lines, always with the goal of preserving and improving the best traits of the Maine Coon breed.
How we got started
Our Commitment to Quality
Our Commitment to Quality
With over 20 years in the veterinary field and a background in infectious disease research, I’ve always had a passion for animal health, welfare, and genetics. After adopting our first Maine Coon (and then many more), I fell in love with their affectionate natures and often goofball personalities. Maine Coons truly are the “dogs” of the cat world!
My early experiences with other breeders were eye-opening—there was love and dedication, but also opportunities to do better. That’s what inspired me to start my own cattery focused on health, ethics, and the “sweet” spirit of the breed.
Our Home-Based Philosophy
Our Commitment to Quality
Our Home-Based Philosophy
We’re a small, home-based cattery in rural Eastern North Carolina. Our kittens grow up underfoot—around kids, dogs, and daily family life. While we have safe, dedicated spaces for nursing mothers and young kittens, they’re very much part of our home.
We believe our cats thrive best when given ample love, socialization opportunities, and enrichment.
Our breeding standards
Our Kitten Health Guarantee
Our Home-Based Philosophy
All of our breeding cats undergo genetic disease screening, infectious disease testing, hip imaging, and any other diagnostics recommended by our veterinarian. Only cats who meet our high standards for health and temperament are included in our program.
As an ethical and responsible breeding practice, cats that do not meet our breeding standards are spayed/neutered and are then available for adoption at a reduced rate. Any medical conditions or reasons for exclusion from our breeding program are disclosed with prospective families prior to adoption
Our Current Breeding Goals

Our adoption process
Education and support
Education and support
Our kittens go home at 16 weeks of age—this allows them to complete their kitten vaccines, be spayed/neutered, and grow into confident, well-socialized companions.
To protect both our kittens and our clients, we do not require deposits and encourage all adopters to visit our home and meet our available kittens prior to adoption. We understand how important it is to choose the right kitten for your family, and we’re happy to help guide you in the process.
We operate with a waitlist system and reach out in the order inquiries are received. As a small cattery, we expect just 1–2 litters per year, but are always happy to refer you to trusted fellow breeders if we don’t have current availability.
We’re passionate about sharing these incredible cats with others. If the cost of a kitten is a barrier, we encourage you to consider adopting an older kitten or a retired adult cat from our program.
