Exceptional
Maine Coons,
Raised With Care
Healthy, confident, and affectionate Maine Coon kittens raised in family homes through a thoughtful, health-focused breeding programme.
Welcome to Lux Maine Coon
Lux Maine Coon is a small, dedicated cattery raising exceptional Maine Coon kittens in Ireland and Italy. We are passionate, ethical breeders committed to giving every kitten a healthy, confident, and affectionate start to life.
Our kittens are raised as part of our family homes, surrounded by everyday interaction, thoughtful socialisation, and individual care. This helps them develop into secure, loving companions who are well prepared for life with their future families.
Our cats are part of our Ireland and Italy programme, and health remains central to our breeding programme. Every breeding cat completes an extensive, breed-appropriate DNA and health-screening panel, allowing us to plan each pairing carefully and responsibly.

Health Comes First
Every breeding decision is guided by breed-appropriate health screening, pedigree knowledge, temperament, and the long-term wellbeing of our cats and kittens.
Extensive DNA Screening
Every breeding cat undergoes a comprehensive panel of breed-specific DNA tests to identify and eliminate hereditary conditions before they reach the next generation.
Breed-Appropriate Health Testing
Cardiac screening (HCM), hip scoring, blood typing, and additional screening required for the Maine Coon breed standard and our own programme standards.
Ireland & Italy Programme
All our cats and litters are registered with recognised international cat fancier organisations, ensuring pedigree integrity and full traceability.
Thoughtful Pairing Decisions
Each pairing is planned based on health results, pedigree analysis, temperament, coat type, and long-term breed improvement goals.
Raised for Life With a Family
Family-Home Socialisation
Kittens grow up in our family homes, experiencing everyday sounds, visitors, and daily life — building confident, well-adjusted temperaments from their first weeks.
Confident Temperaments
We prioritise gentle, people-focused personalities. Temperament is factored as seriously as coat quality, conformation, and health results in every pairing decision.
Ongoing Buyer Support
We remain available after your kitten goes home. Diet advice, settling-in guidance, and access to our breeder experience are always on hand.
Responsible Reservations
We review each application carefully and match kittens to families where we believe they will truly thrive. We ask questions — and we welcome yours.
A Thoughtful Reservation Process
Kittens normally join approved families from 13 weeks of age. International collection or transport dates may be later depending on veterinary and travel requirements.
