About Mighty Kitty

---

Welcome to Mighty Kitty Maine Coons!

We are small, specialist breeder of pedigree Maine Coons and are based in Buxton, Derbyshire. Our Maine Coon kittens are extremely well socialised as they are raised lovingly in our home with our family and many other pets and not in a cattery.

We have a four star license from the council (the highest star rating you can achieve for a newly licensed business). This means we have passed the higher welfare standards required by the council. Being licensed does not mean we are a kitten farm! It means we have:

Shown we have excellent facilities for our cats and kittens through inspection.

Provided higher standards in housing and enrichment for our cats and kittens.

Have dedicated and detailed records for cats and kittens right from when they have entered the cattery up to now, including health records for each individual cat and kitten.

Have extensive vet records and records of any prescribed medicines given.

Participated in health surveys such as DNA testing and Echocardiagram testing.

Have shown commitment to the breed through evidence of CPD and training.

Have detailed socialisation and enrichment programs in place for our cats and kittens.

Provided owners with extensive information on what to expect and how to care for their kitten (an 80 page manual) along with other documentation.

As part of our council licensing we have produced enrichment, welfare and socialisation routines for all of our cats and kittens, we also use the Early Neurological Stimulation system to improve our kittens resistance to stress and disease. Our twelve week socialisation program includes habituation to multiple household (and non household noises), bathing and grooming procedures including mouth play to get them used to teeth cleaning, introducing different types of cat litter, different animals in the household, getting them used to carriers and short travel journeys, harness training (if requested by new owners), different types of litter boxes, and much more.

We are also proud members of the GCCF Responsible Breeders scheme and have undergone an inspection this year (2023). We are pleased to say that we passed with no advisories, we are only the 2nd Maine Coon breeder in the UK to have been inspected under the new system.


Our Maine Coon kittens come from fantastic lines with many champions. We have been careful to choose genetically healthy parents who also display popular main coon characteristics.

Our aim is to breed Maine Coons who are healthy, loving and beautiful examples of the breed, and in case you were wondering - they are all named after characters in some of ours and our children's favourite animated films by Studio Ghibli!

You are welcome to visit our cats at any time, we love to show off our facilities! We are also here for you if you need any advice or support after you have purchased your kitten.

Here at Mighty Kitty we have spent a considerable amount of time learning about cat physiology, behaviours, appropriate care and monitoring, enrichment regimes and animal welfare legislation.

We are proud to have achieved the following qualifications so far:

Level 3 Diploma in Cattery Management.
Level 3 in Animal Management.
Microchip Implanter training.
Level 1 Pawpeds training (an internationally recognised course in cat care).

These courses involve exams and assignments and many months of learning, they are not just 2 hr groupon courses.
We are always trying to improve on our knowledge of cat care. We are part of the Breeder Scheme with the GCCF, and have applied to be a Centre of Excellence with TICA. We have also achieved a 4 star licence on our first application (the highest a new breeder can achieve).

The welfare of our cats is our top priority, our cats have the best facilities we can provide, they are free to run around in our cat secure garden, they also have access to two catios. We have a huge wall gym for them to play on, Cazumi cat wheels, climbing towers, litter robots and all the mod cons.
