Welcome to the founding Maine Coons Breeder Site in the United Kingdom.

Maine Coon cats are the only native long haired breed in America and a top breeding line was brought to the UK in 1979 by Anita Aukett who spent 30 years breeding them. Many have subsequently gone on to win a string of prizes in many shows. In May 2011 Anita passed away and Majesticoon was acquired by Lucille Clarke-Smith who continues to breed Maine Coons to the high standards set by Anita.

We breed exceptional examples and at maturity our Maine Coons can weigh up to 24 lbs! Health and temperament are a top priority as well as size and correct type. Pedigrees are available for all kittens bred. All kittens are raised in a home environment , handled from birth and are well socialised and litter trained. See the letters page for endorsements from many happy owners and lots of photos.

Maine Coons bred include Brown Tabbies (Mackerels & Classics) with or without white, Silver Tabbies, and Tortoiseshell & White.

Please take the opportunity to have a look around this site. For more information either contact Lucille directly by email or phone her.

The Maine Coon is one of the largest cat breeds, taking three to four years to reach full growth (Look at the picture to your left for an idea of how big these cats are, that is a full size bottle of wine!). Its coat although semi-long flowing is easy to maintain and it is easily able to shed water and snow, an evolutionary asset due to the cold harsh weather of its natural environment. The underbelly is sparser to enable the cat to quickly make its way through snow and undergrowth. A weekly combing would be fine to maintain a fine coat. The Maine Coon also has large tufted ears and feet and a full bushy tail, all traits to look for in a prime example. Its head features large obliquely set eyes with high cheekbones, a square muzzle and strong chin. Its ears are set far apart and end in sharp tips. Maine Coons also have a wonderful, gentle, affectionate temperament and retain a playful, kitten like disposition throughout their lives and make ideal pets or family members. Maine Coons come in a variety of colours, the best known being the brown tabby and the brown classic or mackerel tabby. There are however many others such as solids, tortoiseshells, smokes and particolours.
