I’ve purchased gentle giants from 3 different breeders across the PNW, this one takes the cake. Legit AND ethical.
I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first. I’ve already purchased two Maine Coons from local breeders here on the Oregon coast, so working with a cattery all the way in LA felt very different. But everything went smoothly, and I can confirm this is a legitimate, ethical cattery.
After making my reservation for an XXL kitten, I was kept in the loop from breeding time onward with pictures and videos, and I was able to make my pick shortly after. From there, I received weekly picture updates, which made the wait exciting/reassuring. When it came time for pickup, the LA fires made it impossible for me to drive through with my family, but they connected me with a reliable pet transport company at a reasonable price and walked me through every step.
Most importantly, the kitten I received is exactly what was promised (healthy, purebred, and extra large). Millie is actually the biggest of my three Maine Coons, even bigger than my polydactyl American line cat. For peace of mind, I ran her Basepaws DNA test myself, which confirmed she is clear of all genetic mutations and truly an XXL purebred Maine Coon.
I’m so glad I purchased from Crowned Maine Coons. I was able to get a high-quality, healthy fur baby for a fraction of what I would’ve paid at some local registered catteries, without sacrificing quality. Millie is everything I hoped for and more.
