A little bit about us.

Our first encounter with this wonderful breed was 1999, when my husband and me attend a cat show in Austria…. and there he was; a huge red tabby Maine Coon male. He was only 10 month old and absolutely fascinating. From that moment on I collected every single information I was able to find about Maine Coons. 2 years later our first boy, Chilipepper Beauty Boy, moved in and in 2003 Chilipepper Filou followed his big brother.

I start to attend cat shows where I met a lot of nice and some less likeable breeders and  I carried on gaining information about the breed, genetics and diseases and I spent many hours in front of my computer studying pedigrees.

In 2005 I decided to start breeding this fabulous cats. With a lots of support from my friends the Chilipepper Maine Coons I dared this big step.

At the end of October 2005 our first female moved in.

Right from the beginning our aim was to find a good combination of approved showlines and good outcross lines. A tough healthiness combined with a good type and size and a gentle character are our prior goal. All of our breeding cats are tested regularly on HCM, PKD and HD.

Our cats occupy the whole house and they also have a spacious outdoorrun and a extended attic just for their own use. We are a member of TicaCats in Germany and TICA in USA.

If you have any further questions belonging our cats don’t hesitate to call or email us.
