About Us:
Welcome to MaineVu Maine Coons!
Thank you for your appreciation of the amazing Maine Coon Breed and thank you for your interest in a MaineVu Maine Coon Kitten.
We are Philip and Marjorie Berger, located in Cartersville, GA. We are professional, responsible, ethical hobbyist breeders, not a business. The love of these cats and our efforts to advance the breed represent a passion.
We are registered with The International Cat Association (TICA) and The Cat Fanciers Association (CFA). We began showing our first Maine Coon Kitten in 2006. We have successfully shown our kittens in The International Cat Association (TICA) to Grand Champion, Supreme Grand Champion, Regional Winner, International Winners and Lifetime Achievement Winner, and to Grand Premier in The Cat Fanciers Association, (CFA).
We began our breeding program in 2008.
GOAL: To Produce healthy, beautiful kittens bred to the Maine Coon Breed standards of TICA and CFA. We strive to produce loving companions for your home with the fabulous temperament that Maine Coons are famous for.
OUR MALES: Paleeni Doctor Wu of MaineVu, and MTNest Jack Sparrow of MaineVu, live with us in our bedroom suite.
OUR FEMALES: MaineVu Rikki Don't Lose That Number, MaineVu Suzy Q, MaineVu Katy Lied, MaineVu Foxy Lady, MaineVu White Rabbit and MaineVu Mississippi Queen all have the freedom of our house, except MaineVu Jolene who is still in our kitten nursery.
OUR RETIRED NEUTERED CATS : MaineVu Oliver and MaineVu Peg have the freedom of our home with the exception of our kitten nursery.
HEALTH HISTORY OF OUR CATS:
We are NEGATIVE for the Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and the Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). All of our cats are DNA NEGATIVE for (HCM), Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, (PK Deficiency) Pyruvate Kinase, (SMA) Spinal Muscular Atrophy and (PKD) Polycystic Kidney Disease via UC Davis Laboratories and Wisdom Panel DNA findings.
Our cats receive a Color Doppler Echo Cardiogram from a board certified practicing veterinary cardiologist for their hearts yearly. Copies of heart scans will be in your folder.
We are having our cats hips tested . More information follows
As new methods of testing become available, they will be incorporated into our breeding program. No breeder can guarantee that a cat will not develop heart disease, but we are comfortable knowing that our cats have normal healthy hearts.
CONTRACT PROVISIONS: Our contract stipulates that all of our kittens are indoor only, never declawed and must be spayed or neutered at 6-9 months of age. A range of dates is suggested in your contract. All of our kittens leave us for their new homes when they are 12-14 weeks old.
WE DO NOT PLACE KITTENS/CATS WITH BREEDING RIGHTS

and to ADULT CAT FOOD - Purina One Chicken dry food, and Purina ProPlan, Friskies, Fancy Feast and Science Diet wet food when they are 8 weeks old.
Maine Coons require a lot of water. We have several bowls of cold water throughout the house. Wet food should be given to your cats twice a day, 1/2 can in the morning 1/2 can in the evening. Dry food can be left out over night and replenished the next morning.

Included in all starter kitten kits is all veterinary/medical records, including dates of all vaccinations, fecal testing results, and a microchip. Copies of parents DNA results and of parents heart ultrasounds and a pedigree will be included with your final contract. A handbook with our veterinarian's contact information, our feeding schedule, and which litter we use, is sent to all kitten buyers. Samples of the dry and canned food that the kitten has been eating are given to kitten buyers when they come to pick up their kitten.
PICK UP INFORMATION:
We do not ship our cats, they must be picked up from our home, unless other arrangements have been made. Please bring a carrier with you when you come to pick up your kitten.
APPLICATION:

BEFORE YOU ADOPT- THINGS TO CONSIDER:
THE PARENTS:
Does the website show full names of the parents and registered cattery name? Do they have information on a public site that is available? Are there photos of their cats including a link for their pedigree? Does the website feature a "lock?" Have the cats been genetically tested for HCM, and PK Deficiency? Is there verification of all genetic tests done?
THE SCAMMERS:
The scammers are out and ready to take your money. Why? Because there are always families that are looking for that special kitten. They will communicate with you via text and email and very rarely on phone call. They will promise you a beautiful Maine Coon kitten, and request payment via Wells Fargo or gift cards. Unfortunately, the kitten you've just sent payment for may not exist.
THE BREEDER:
When selecting a breeder make sure that they are legitimate reputable breeders. If you see a site saying they have "kittens available, Buy Now!" Be careful. If they show a photo of a kitten that is available and under 12 weeks old, be careful.
Reputable Breeders do not let kittens leave for their new homes until they are 12-16 weeks old and will never say "Buy Now". All kittens/Cats should be healthy and free of parasites and will be microchipped.
Does the breeder have a home that welcomes new owners to visit their kittens and the parents? Have a home that is clean. Should care that their kittens will be placed only in approved homes and given a lifetime of love? Fed high quality food and receive regular vet care. Provide you with a proper pedigree and TICA registration papers (once the kittens have been neutered/spayed.) Provide "starter food kits" and a list of all of the food that the kitten had been eating.
