About Us
Located On The East Coast of Australia: Melbourne
Hi! My name is Laurah. I fell in love with Maine Coons the moment I laid eyes on the breed, they are truly the most majestic cats. I attended cat shows to understand the standards, met some amazing breeders, and started our journey by registering as a recognised pedigree breeder with ANCATS and adopting our first Queen, Stormy. (Anjayma Sweet Pea).
Angela, from Anjayma Maine Coons, has been a brilliant mentor to me over the past 2 years. Guiding me through the world of genetics, pattern and colouring, what to look for in a breeding cat, raw feeding advice, the endless document requirements, and much more! I wouldn't be where I am today without her and for that I am very grateful.
I managed to convince my family to come along for the ride, and now here we are almost 2 years later and Stormy is ready to have her first litter.
How do we manage it all?!
Our kittens will be raised inside our home in a family environment just like our three Queens, Stormy, Salem, and Seer, and our Stud, Ghost.
Last Christmas we fostered a litter of Maine Coons for a couple of weeks before their home time and it was an absolute blast! Stormy quickly adapted and was running around with them in no time. We are sure she will be an excellent mum (in just a few short weeks!).
Love, attention, and loads of playtime are the key elements for nurturing kittens to be well-socialised. This will help them greatly when they're ready to settle into a new home.
Our kittens will be familiar with noisy kids, the washer, dryer, vacuum and of course loud music as our kids love a good dance party.
And yes, that is Steven Meserve with our Salem! (Anjayma Runaround Sue). We were lucky enough to show off some of our cats at the 2024 Steven Meserve X ANCATS Melbourne show this past July. Salem came second-best Maine Coon in Show. *squeals*
Thriving Heritage
Stormy, Salem, and Ghost come from Anjayma Maine Coons, and Seer comes from Feniks Maine Coons. They all come from long lines of beautiful, healthy Maine Coons.
Our cats all have a friendly, placid temperament with no anxiety or aggression issues. They thrive in our home environment with abundant space, surrounded by their loving humans!
We will always ensure our cats are healthy and meeting breeding standards and expectations prior to breeding (find out more on our health page about what specifically we check for).
We will continue to upkeep this standard as we focus on continuing to breed beautiful balanced features and an excellent temperament.
Why a Maine Coon?
Maine Coons are huge, incredibly beautiful, and social cats.
Be sure to check out our 'Maine Coon' page to learn all about how to take care of them, and their coats. We also have various videos on our socials with commonly asked questions.
Maine Coons are often likened to dogs as they are intelligent, curious, and loyal. They typically have two modes: be close by, snoozing, or be close by with a toy in their mouth, staring at you, ready for a play!
Try teaching them some tricks, you may be surprised at the outcome.
Our son is pictured here with our Stormy (6 months old), he came first in his second Junior Handler competition. He has taken a huge loving towards Maine Coons and is involved every step of the way. He'll happily chat your ear off about their genetics, like how excited we are that Ghost carries double dilute genes!
