Aslanspaw is a small Maine Coon cattery located in Hampstead, (Carroll Co.)

Aslanspaw is registered in CFA, Cat Fanciers Association, exclusively. We are dedicated to breed for health, temperament and type.

Our kittens and retired cats are sold as pets only. Our contract states no breeding rights.

Kasper with Judge Veach

My male breeding cats are CFA show cats with friendly, easy-going personalities that love people and love to show. They have obtained one or more of the following CFA titles; Champion, Grand Champion, Regional Winners and/or National Winner. Adult breeding cats are echoed for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) by color-doppler ultrasound, DNA tested for HCM and health checked yearly by our veterinarian.

The Beginning: My daughter wanted a cat. My husband and I had pets all of our lives and a cat would fit nicely with our pug, Koko. My cousin, Susan, showed Maine Coons and in 2004 we started our search. We went to several shows and helped Susan with her cats. After searching months for the right cat, we decided to adopt a rescue cat named Angel.

I missed the shows. I missed watching all of the beautiful cats and listening to the judges tell about the breeds. I wanted to learn more. I continued to help Susan and spend time with her Maine Coons. I fell hopelessly in love with her cats and bought the first silver kitten that Susan deemed to be of show quality. I chose Maine Coons because of their majestic look, playfulness and wonderful personality. Maine Coons are also known as ‘the gentle giant’. Maine Coons are very social and long to be near their owner/s and other pets. A perfect fit for our family.

Maine Coons are heavy boned cats and most will become very large cats. A male Maine Coon usually weighs between 14–18 lbs. on average (they look much larger). Female Maine Coons usually weigh between 8–12 lbs. Maine Coons do not reach full maturity until 4-5 years of age.

Maine Coons are not vocal cats and when they do ‘speak’ it is with a chirp type of sound. I have seen my cats pace, chatter softly and shiver with excitement at the sight of birds at the feeders. It is comical to hear such a large cat with such a soft voice. Maine Coons have beautiful shaggy coats with nice full bushy tails. Maine Coons shed in wisps that are much easier to clean and pick up, instead of dropping single hairs.

About Our Kittens:

Aslanspaw kittens are raised in our master bedroom underfoot until they are old enough to have the run of the house. Aslanspaw‘s kittens are raised with our wonderful pug, Tater Tot. Tater is great with kittens and the transition is so much easier if the potential owner has other pets.

Kittens are ready for their new homes between 12-16 weeks of age. Kittens are socialized, use corrugated boards for scratching and have been trained to use the litter box. A written health check by our veterinarian will be included. Two sets of Feline Rhinotrachetis-Calici-Panleukopenia immunizations are administered, kittens are free of parasites, bacterial diseases and guaranenteed Felv/Fiv negative. Our Health Guarantee will be voided if the Feline Leukemia or the FIP vaccine if is given.

Aslanspaw provides a written guaranteed that each kitten is Felv/Fiv negative, free of bacterial diseases, fleas, parasites, worms, hip dysplasia and FIP. Aslanspaw provides a written health certificate from our veterinarian.

We screen all potential kitten owners. Each owner must sign a contract to neuter/spay his or her kitten between 6–9 months of age with no breeding rights. Kittens must be kept indoors unless safely secured within an enclosure or in a traveling crate. The kitten/cat cannot be declawed and never go to a shelter or pet rescue.
