Our journy

Our journey began years ago when our family first welcomed a Maine Coon into our home. Like many who fall for this breed, we were captivated instantly. Their size and majestic appearance draw you in, but it is their temperament, their loyalty, and their surprisingly gentle souls that make you stay. Living with a Maine Coon feels like living with a best friend who never judges, who always greets you with affection, and who seems to understand your moods better than most people ever could. They have this uncanny ability to make a house feel more like a home, to fill quiet spaces with comfort, and to bring laughter with their playful antics. Once you experience life with a Maine Coon, you can never imagine living without one. That is how our story began, and it is why we dedicate ourselves fully to this breed today.

Coonie Companions is more than just a cattery. We are a family who has woven Maine Coons into the fabric of our daily lives. Every kitten we raise is part of our family first before they ever go on to become part of yours. This philosophy shapes everything we do. We don’t believe in raising cats in cages or limiting their natural joy with confined spaces. Instead, our kittens grow up in the heart of our home, surrounded by the sounds, smells, and rhythms of family life. They hear laughter, voices, music, the bustle of daily activity, and they learn to see people not as strangers but as friends. This makes them incredibly well-socialized, adaptable, and confident. By the time they are ready to join your family, they are not shy little kittens they are bright-eyed, curious, affectionate companions ready to love and be loved.

The heart of Coonie Companions lies in the belief that every Maine Coon deserves the best start in life. That means paying careful attention to health, nutrition, and early development. We work closely with veterinary professionals to ensure that our cats are not just beautiful, but strong and healthy from the inside out. Every breeding decision is thoughtful, guided by years of research, careful observation, and an unwavering commitment to improving the breed. Our Maine Coons are selected for their health, temperament, and adherence to breed standards. This way, when you welcome a kitten from Coonie Companions, you are welcoming a companion with the best possible foundation.

But health is not only about genetics it is about daily care. From the moment our kittens are born, they receive round-the-clock attention. We monitor their growth, ensure they are nursing well, and gradually introduce them to high-quality food that supports their development. Their coats are brushed gently to get them used to grooming, their nails are checked, and they are handled every day so they grow comfortable with human touch. These little routines may seem simple, but they make all the difference when it comes to raising a kitten who is calm, trusting, and affectionate. By the time our kittens are ready to leave us, they are already accustomed to the kind of love and care they will continue to receive in their forever homes.

What makes Maine Coons so special? To us, it is their dual nature: on one hand, they are majestic creatures with lion-like manes, tufted ears, and impressive size. On the other hand, they are gentle giants, full of affection, loyalty, and playfulness. They carry themselves with dignity yet never lose their childlike curiosity. A Maine Coon will proudly perch on a windowsill like royalty one moment, and then chase a toy mouse across the room the next. They are intelligent, often described as “dog-like” because of their loyalty and trainability. Many Maine Coons learn to fetch, walk on leashes, or even respond to commands. Yet, at the end of the day, what makes them unforgettable is the way they choose to be near you not because they have to, but because they truly want to.

Living with Maine Coons has taught us patience, joy, and the importance of connection. They are not just pets; they are companions who fill the quiet spaces of life with love. This is why we chose the name “Coonie Companions.” For us, it’s about more than cats it’s about the bond that forms between people and their Coonies. We see it every time a family comes to pick up their kitten. There is always that magical moment when the kitten nestles into someone’s arms, purrs softly, and everyone just knows it’s meant to be. Those moments remind us why we do this. We don’t just raise kittens; we help create lifelong friendships.

Our relationship with families does not end at adoption. We are here long after the kittens leave our home. We love receiving updates, photos, and stories about how our Maine Coons are growing and thriving in their new homes. We provide guidance on feeding, grooming, health care, and even the little things like favorite toys or scratching posts. Being part of the Coonie Companions family means you are never alone in your journey. We stand beside you, ready to help, cheer, and celebrate every milestone your Coonie reaches.

The joy of raising Maine Coons is in the details the way their coats shimmer in the sunlight, the softness of their purrs, the sparkle in their eyes when they play, the weight of their body when they flop into your lap as if you are their chosen pillow. Each kitten has its own personality. Some are bold explorers, ready to climb and leap at every opportunity. Others are quiet observers, preferring to sit close and watch the world unfold. Some are chatterboxes, filling the air with trills and chirps, while others speak with their eyes and body language. We take time to get to know each kitten individually, so when the right family comes along, we can make a thoughtful match that will last a lifetime.

Maine Coons also have a rich history, and part of what makes us so proud to raise them is the connection to their heritage. Believed to have originated in the northeastern United States, they carry a sense of rugged beauty and strength that reflects their origins. They are one of the oldest natural breeds in North America, and their adaptability, resilience, and loving nature have made them a favorite across generations. When you bring a Maine Coon into your home, you are welcoming a piece of history, a breed that has stood the test of time with grace and charm.

At Coonie Companions, we also believe in honesty and transparency. We want families to feel comfortable and confident in their choice. That means being upfront about health, genetics, and care. It means keeping our standards high, even if it requires extra effort. It means putting the cats first, always. We believe that by doing right by our kittens, we are also doing right by the families who will love them.

Our vision for Coonie Companions has always been simple: to share the love of Maine Coons with as many families as possible, while staying true to the values that guide us compassion, integrity, and dedication. Every kitten who leaves our home carries a little piece of our hearts with them, but what we gain in return is far greater. We gain friendships, connections, and the joy of knowing that our kittens are bringing happiness to families across the country.

We have seen how Maine Coons change lives. They comfort people during difficult times, they bring laughter to households, and they teach children about responsibility and love. We have heard countless stories from families who tell us their Coonie became their shadow, their confidant, their best friend. To us, those stories are priceless. They are the reason we open our home and hearts to this work every single day.

As you explore Coonie Companions, know that everything you see here is rooted in genuine love. We are not a faceless organization we are a family who lives and breathes Maine Coons. Our days are filled with the soft sound of purrs, the sight of fluffy tails swishing through the house, and the joy of watching kittens grow from tiny bundles into majestic companions. We do this not because it is easy, but because it is meaningful. Every adoption is a celebration, every kitten a blessing, and every family a new chapter in the story of Coonie Companions.

If you are here because you are considering adding a Maine Coon to your family, know that you are in the right place. You are not just adopting a kitten you are beginning a journey filled with companionship, laughter, and love.
