Three more sleeps and these wee floofs head to Western Australia with us. So exciting! All whiskers and sass.

Breeders being responsible for bringing healthy cats into existence.
Today we travelled 6.5 hours in a round trip with 8 cats from Kailukicoons, Viking Mainecoons and Pirate Maine C***s - 7 adult cats and one kitten all in one SUV. I was surprised we only had 4 “code browns”and a few pukes. Captain,in his defence, informed me “I am a PIRATE not a land lubber! Ships not cars!”
I’m so happy that it was a successful trip with 100% pass on all the cats scanned.
I can’t thank Richard and Anna enough for providing this fabulous service that truely helps us stay ethical breeders. And to Karen from Manacoons for coordinating the three ring circus.

Thank you to Richard Lucy and Anna at Barrowman Goodman vets for heart scanning 20 cats for us today Pirate Maine C***s, Ykatocoonz, Kodiakcoons, Kailukicoons, Roumecoons. Was a great day of heart scanning and happy to say normal hearts

None of these kittens are available, all are travelling to Australia as potential breeding cats.

Ever tried to pack up your house with kittens in the house? Maine C***s are nosey and want to be part of EVERYTHING you are doing. Add to that the difficult task of getting DNA from them all today. Fingers crossed all the kits work.
The movers arrive in the morning and this time next week we will be heading to Auckland. So exciting but so sad to be leaving our family.

You know how we said we had a secret? Well she will be joining us in Western Australia.
Meet Halo, yes she is an angel and we can’t wait for everyone to meet each other.
We haven’t decided who her husband will be but we have at least 9 months to finalise those details based on what features we want to improve with our lines.
We love you already Halo 😇

I never use AI with my photos but I asked ChatGPT to put all three cats in same photo and make them pirates. Not bad. No cats with extra legs and ears, but Boogie lost his polydactyl thumbs 🤭
Left to right: Diesel, Boogie and Black Beard.
NOT for adoption- all are future stud cats.

And that’s a wrap. Kitten season is over until
September/October. My girls will start calling again in July and I have some amazing litters planned. Captain and I had a chat about what was what and he said he is up for it. I had to explain he won’t be the only baby daddy for the girls. But he didn’t want to share. Too bad, I’m the boss. He backed down.

While I’m here I thought I would share a couple of crazy messages I got. Im sure other breeders can relate and feel free to tell your stories.
🤦‍♀️- Kittens, any still available. Will you take a thousand and I’ll collect now” My response 🤣. It costs more than that for vet appointments and food for the first 12 weeks.
🤦‍♀️ - Do you have any Scottish Folds? Hang on a minute I’ll check my spare parts for curly ears and glue a couple on.

What are Maine C***s like? Mine are crazy and confident. How about yours 🤣?
Well, this is Treacle (now Pepa) having her last vaccination. She even had her jabs while like this 🤭. Okeroa, sorry but she this girl is a laugh a minute.

VikingMaines Rollo heads to his new home tomorrow. He has a big sister PirateMaines Coco Chanel. His new owner has named him Jack and sent through this pic of him as Jack Sparrow. Honouring his Pirate Roots because Vikings also divide and conquer.
