Welcome to RoyalLions.net, home of two INTERNATIONAL WINNERS: RoyalLions “Count Blackula and RoyalLions “Lunar Eclipse of MTNest! We believe the Maine Coon is "the king" of all pedigree cats, not just in beauty and stature but in disposition. Universally known as the "gentle giant", the Maine Coon out sizes many small-medium dogs being the largest domestic cat breed in the world! Originating in the state of Maine, the Maine Coon is America's only true native breed and the oldest show breed in North America. Lynx-like tufted ears and paws, prominent Lion type muzzles and elegant ruffs, easy rugged coats in a variety of astounding colors, magnificent tails; an exclusive signature of their breed, and a distinctive trill is what fascinates those who admire them. The Maine Coon’s gregarious "dog-like" nature, one of loyalty and affection, with the known capability of getting along with children and other pets is what captivate the hearts of those who share their lives with one! They will fascinate you with amusing antics and over time become very child-like. Maine Coons will eagerly greet you at your arrival and miss you while your away. Some can even be trained to walk on a leash and fetch a ball. Most Maine Coons will easily travel if they are accustomed to it early. Having the unique character of being extremely interactive and people orientated, Maine Coons make perfect fur children that absolutely complete a home and serve as the ideal companion!
Our kitten families have shared these sentiments: “Our house is now a home. He has produced an indescribable joy! What did we ever do without her? She was the missing piece to our family. This is the most amazing and intelligent breed we have ever owned. My Maine Coon has brought me much companionship during a difficult time in my life. I can’t wait to get home to see her. I now have a reason to get up in the morning. I can’t imagine living without one. I am never alone now, our family is now complete! These are powerful reactions to the greatest breed in the world. The natural capacity the Maine Coon has towards enriching lives and healing hearts is what motivates us to produce highly sociable pets. It’s our privilege to share this breed with our special families who find their way to us. We welcome you to our site where the Maine Coon reigns, it would be an honor to add a little royalty to your family tree! |

Why A Pedigree Maine Coon? Some will argue why people should not purchase a cat, that there are too many homeless cats and crowded shelters. Breeders are not the cause for stray cats. Most breeders support at least several rescues and often donate to this cause. Cat shows support rescues by allowing them to have adoption booths . Stray cats are the result of irresponsible, ignorant, and uncaring people who refuse to neuter and spay or leave their pets behind. The ratio between pedigree cats and domestic cats is huge with domestic cats greatly exceeding pedigrees . Controlling the homeless pet population starts with responsible pet ownership and a commitment to the pet during it’s lifetime not only when times are good. Most breeders place kittens in homes they have comprehensively screened and ensure neutering and spaying.
Just as some people admire and respect certain dog breeds, we (and our new families) appreciate the Maine Coon Cat breed and all it has to offer in unmatched companionship and beauty. The Maine Coon is also very much an American icon, worthy of preservation, it’s heritage beginning in the rugged woods of New England, in fact, it’s the only true native breed to America! Further, the Maine Coon is the State Animal for Maine. Many love the German Shepherd breed and other fine pedigree dogs for their dependability, intelligence, and attractiveness...the same is felt by those who treasure certain cat breeds. Maine Coon owners are guaranteed an outstanding family pet with desired features which meet the breed standard, one with a disposition and background the breeder can account for including health and many have less vet bills incurred trying to guess and test for problems or hidden health issues they may face with a stray. Most reputable breeders have made the financial investment ahead of time in testing and screening their breeding cats and providing quality health care to kittens prior to placement, so often the money spent on a pedigree may be less. We say, keep adopting rescues of course, but respect those who want to add a very special breed to their family. The Maine Coon was labeled “The Perfect Family Pet” and “the Gentle Giant” by Cat Fancy magazine for a very good reason! Just see below! |

~Butterfly Kisses ~ Little baby Bobcats dressed in natural woodsy browns, red highlights and cream remind us of how the very first Maine Coon sightings must of appeared in the rugged woodland forest of New England in the 1800’s. Natural coats, tall lynx -like ears, well tufted ears & feet, and strikingly feral expressions comprise our vision of the ideal Maine Coon cat. When we visit the vet and fellow customers ask, “Is that a wild cat?” it’s one of the biggest compliments we can get! The only difference is these panthers are gentle and loving and might just steal your lap, your bed, your kisses, and your hearts! ALL PLACED IN LOVING HOMES NOW! |

In a age of dishonest and unethical internet sites and kitten mills , we are pleased to share copies of any certifications advertised on our website, including: certificates of cat titles/ awards, MCBFA acceptance letter, TICA Outstanding Cattery Certificates, HCM Reports, Veterinarian reference, and current kitten owner references, including those on our Hairy Tales page. Sadly many people false advertise to market their cats, what you see online is not always the real deal.
Just as we are highly concerned with where our Maine Coon kittens are placed, you should be concerned with where your Maine Coon kitten coon kitten is from! |
