ABOUT US

Red Rose Maine Coons

Hello and Welcome to Red Rose Maine Coons website,

We are Rebecca and Richard, GCCF registered pedigree breeders of Maine Coon Cats based in a small village just outside Carnforth, Lancashire.

Red Rose Maine Coons has been an established cattery for 10years. We pride ourselves in selecting cats based on health, temperament and to the breed standard as set out by the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy.

Our cats are brought up in our family home and are treated as part of our family. Our cats leave well socialised and have been handled daily by our young family.

Both myself and my husband are health care professionals and we apply these principals to our cattery. All cats entering our cattery are tested for common disease and enter a quarantine period until tests have come back negative. All our breeding cats are genetically tested for hereditary diseases and we frequently spot test our cats for common diseases to ensure the highest standards. We operate a "closed cattery" to maintain these high levels. We are a negative FeLv FiV cattery.

We follow the rules set out by the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy and the Maine Coon Cat Club guidelines.

The Maine Coon Cat

Maine coons are a particularly large breed of cat that originates from the state of Maine in North America. They have thick coats and a powerful build adapted to the harsh winter climates that shaped the breed from cats originally brought there hundreds of years ago.

Maine Coons are particularly pleasant companions due to their gentle nature and soft voice, and are typically very friendly with owners. You can expect to be followed around the house by Maine Coon cats, as they are generally an intelligent breed that likes to roam and interact with their surroundings. They tend to prefer a companion if left for long periods of the day.

Ownership of any cats comes with much responsibility and we recommend that anyone thinking of owning a cat is aware of the commitment required.

GCCF SHOW CATTERY

We regularly take our cats to cat shows. We believe this ensures the lines we are selecting are following the breed standard as set out by the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy.
